Green Lantern #50 (Published by DC Comics; Review by David Pepose; 'Rama Rating: 8 out of 10):

I've been very critical of Green Lantern in the past, so it's no small surprise for me when I say that this feels like a whole different Robert Vendetti in charge. What was once a series that had become lost in its own space opera indulgences has become a surprisingly compelling study in identity, regret and the consequences of absolute power, as Hal Jordan's return to Earth is interrupted by... Parallax? Vendetti doesn't explain the whys and wherefores, but he does great work showing the conflict of a man literally at war with himself. (Parallax in particular starts off remarkably tender, which makes him a difficult bad guy to hate later.) It's also, for the most part, decent artwork by Billy Tan and Vicente Cifuentes, even if the consistency of the book is occasionally marred by three inkers and two different colorists. Still, this sudden jolt of character-driven drama has made for quite the turnaround for what had been a lame duck run on one of DC's most popular characters.

It's becoming harder and harder to maintain interest in the current volume of Green Lantern when the book is losing steam and DC Rebirth relaunch is right around the corner. This penultimate issue makes two critical flaws. First, it doesn't build on issue #50's twist in a very satisfying way. Hal's latest bizarre transformation is properly explained, and eventually it seems like an afterthought as Hal heads along his merry way. Second, the second half of this issue spends entirely too long dwelling on a gang of unsavory, unlikable space pirates. It's weird to see such a sluggish pace considering that Robert Venditti only has one more issue to wrap up the whole shebang. But if nothing else, Rafa Sandoval helps reinvigorate the book from a visual standpoint. His energetic figure work and flair for cosmic spectacle bode well for Sandoval's role on the upcoming relaunch. -Jesse

Final Score:

6.0/10
