And Then I Read: GREEN LANTERN CORPS 24

Relic is a powerful giant with powerful technology who is going around the universe sucking up ring power of all colors. He’s about to reach Oa, and the Corps is bracing to meet him under Hal Jordan’s command. When he arrives, they find themselves as helpless against his power as all the previous ring-bearers, so it’s a matter of a strategic retreat, with John Stewart and a band of new recruits trying to hold Relic’s attention while the others escape. In all ways, things do not go well. The story by Van Jensen and Robert Venditti is following a predictable course, but the magnitude of the disasters the Corps is trying to deal with does give the story interest, and the character interplay is effective. The art by Bernard Chang is quite good. Nothing terribly new here, but a page-turner.

Recommended.
