And Then I Read: GREEN LANTERNS 7

A story that focuses on character and family rather than lots of fighting makes this issue an enjoyable read for me. Jessica is struggling with her anxiety and fear of talking to strangers, and she’s at Simon’s sister’s house and trying to help him make dessert. Simon is worried about how his mother will take the news about his new career as a Green Lantern. He hasn’t told her yet, but she’s on the way over, and Jessica encourages him to reveal all to her. Meanwhile, a Guardian of the Galaxy is up in the attic doing some kind of strange meditation while Simon’s young cousin tries to get his attention. Things will get back to fighting soon, but as always, these kinds of stories are a nice change of pace. Well written by Sam Humphries, nice art by Ronan Cliquet.
