Like pretty much all of Morrison's stuff I liked it okay on the first read but I really liked it on the second read through. Although I do wish it was Kyle, I actually like the way Morrison writes Hal. And this art is absolutely fantastic. I mean holy moly Liam Sharp killed it on this.

Judging by interviews, he'll end up with Carol again, Morrison is just examining ALL of Hal's love interests over the decades.

Really loved this issue. Very reminiscent of Tales of the Green Lantern Corps.
DC’s cosmic world has been lacking so it’s great to see Grant bringing back to vast alien craziness of 70s and 80s cosmic DC. This book and Justice League Odyssey could really revitalize that side of the DCU.

Issue one was fantastic. Sharpe's art was, without question, some of the best DC has put out recently. Morrison's story was fun. He's got a very strong idea of what the Green Lanterns are like and nails what he sets out. Hal doesn't even show up for what, half the book? Just reading Morrison's intergalactic cops apprehending crooks is fun enough and he makes full use of the craziness of the non-humanoid GLs, something I don't remember many writers ever dealing with.
Morrison's Hal is the best I've read. I know that sounds like hype, but he's got the typical Hal swagger, but with the baggage Morrison described in Supergods, something most writers haven't dealt with. I'm intrigued to see where this goes. Happy to see the Mulitiversal HL Corps at the end too- glad Magic Lantern is front and center!

Story wise Morrison is still largely trapped in the paradigm developed by Johns using other corps as foils to the Green Lanterns. It's just that Morrison is using the Controllers/Darkstars and the Green Lanterns of the Multiverse instead of the various corps developed by Johns. I think this issue really show a lack of coherent world building which the DC cosmic desperately needs not to mention him bringing back the guardians who have demonstrated consistently that absolute power corrupts absolutely and really haven't contributed positively to the GL mythos (other than foils to the rank and file of the corps) since the late 80s.

Didn’t care for this. Morrison’s story telling is just annoying to me. I didn’t give a damn about the other lanterns and his Hal was boring. I hated the art too. I mean at least it’s not Frank Quitely bad but I still find it unappealing. All in all, if you’re not a Morrison fan, I doubt this is going to change your mind.

Morrison & Sharp are swinging for the fences here. Keep it up, boys. It's been great so far.

I had a plan of not getting into new mainstream ongoing comics. But DC just make me start reading Green Lantern for the first time, I pick up a couple of issues from Humphrie's run and it was not for my taste, but just this one issue have made be sure that I will be reading for a this series.

Yes, that was Eve. Morrison confirmed it in one of the many interviews he's been giving about the series. (or the one or two interviews that's been reprinted all over the websites Originally Posted by Zeeguy91

Kind of. The last page is a "coming soon" splash page that shows multiple alternate universe Lanterns, one of which is the Justice Lords version of John Stewart and there's another AU version of him that I'm not sure where it's from. Originally Posted by The Anti-Geek

I think that was the one from the world filled with black heroes; the one with the Obama Superman. Originally Posted by Johnny
