Green Lantern #17 |
3 / 5
GL #17 is the start of the newest arc - Wrath of the First Lantern. In this we get even more Simon Baz time as well as jumping around all of the other major players in the GL universe (at least those not covered by the other books). Frankly, it's a confusing, muddled mess that serves only to set up this particular arc. As such, there's nothing really special about it. I think GL is starting to suffer from a lot of big ideas that Johns and crew are trying to work towards, but uncertainty on how exactly to get where they're going. The Simon Baz GL story is interesting, and really deserves to be fleshed out. Unfortunately he's been thrown into a huge mess and so we've had no chance to really get to know him. We're getting to the point where Guardian sub-plots are taking up half of every GL issue, and for the love of God, let's get an indication of some kind or another of what's going to happen with Hal and Sinestro.
This isn't a bad book. There's absolutely nothing remarkable here (other than some remarkably bad art at the very beginning of the book). The only thing of note about this issue is that it's the start of a new GL story arc.
