Red lightsmith5/27/2023 In fact, with the characters Bunn has chosen, and the strong outer space setting, this series is very reminiscent of the ’80s Green Lantern Corps #217-219, when John, Arisia, and company went through a black hole and wound up lost, and battled Sinestro and a sentient galaxy (check that out if you haven’t already). While some may feel the outer space setting to be bland, I’m greatly enjoying seeing the Lanterns soaring through this sea of stars discovering new mysteries and dangers. This issue’s section of space is darker than where the series began, which was a brighter blue. I really like how he shifts the colors of the background depending on where the characters are. He fills the scenery with colorful nebulas and speckles of stardust. Saiz’s depiction of space isn’t as minimalist as the last issue, and he greatly expresses a feeling of mystery and wonder in the starry backgrounds. I’m honestly surprised at how well and cleverly this issue tended to my little concerns. There is plenty to admire in the beautiful outer space scenery, the emerald energy from the Lanterns’ rings has regained its brilliant luster, and John Stewart’s eyes are a nice green. Also, many readers who have been wondering exactly what is happening and where the Lanterns are at will get some key answers here.Īll of the tiny nitpicks I had with the first issue are addressed in the second. ![]() The artwork, action, developing relationships, and character probing are very welcome. There’s a lot going on here, and that’s not even mentioning the mysterious plot points, like how the Lanterns got to where they are and why.Ĭullen Bunn dives into John’s thought process and past.īunn and Saiz definitely have me hooked. The conflict between John and Guy steadily thickens, which is also due to John’s decision to let Krona, one of the Lanterns’ greatest enemies, accompany them, which seems to be becoming an unpopular idea, with Kilowog, Guy, and Two-Six very leery of the Oan scientist. ![]() Krona’s sense of wonder and casual attitude toward danger makes his presence a real treat, and Two-Six’s growing concern over that presence is interesting. Bunn captures the voices of John and Guy Gardner perfectly, and he has a great understanding of the ebb and flow of their relationship. His exploration of the psyche of John Stewart is interesting with flashbacks to John’s time in the Marine Corps and monologues on how best to lead his team of Lanterns in their bizarre circumstances. Lost Army offers a strong and captivating plot that makes it so you can’t help but wonder what’s next, spot on characterization, and some of the best visuals I’ve seen in a Green Lantern book.īunn gets his characters across masterfully. This is a grand adventure that explores the characters and their relationships with one another while in a setting that is strange and trying for them. Jesus Saiz and Cullen Bunn continue to hit it out of the park with their Green Lantern: Lost Army series.
