And Then I Read: GREEN LANTERN CORPS 21

This issue has several themes, but they can all be linked to the idea: out with the old guard, in with the new. Yes, some familiar faces are still headlining this book, like John Stewart (with star sapphire Fatality), but new recruits are being chosen and highlighted too. Then we have a new villain force emerging that is not new really, but perhaps is for this book. The GLC is perhaps the easiest place in the DC Universe for a new writer and art team to go their own way and develop new characters in a familiar setting, as the supply of Corps members is potentially endless. Some nice moments from writer Robert Venditti and appealing art from Van Jensen and Bernard Chang made this a good read. We’ll see how things develop.
