Cosa intendi quando dici "dall'inizio"?
L'inizio della run di Johns?
L'inizio del reboot The New 52?
L'inizio del primo reboot (1985/86) e il rilancio di LV con Emerald Dawn?
L'inizio delle storie di Hal Jordan come LV e la sua creazione negli anni '50?

Sinestro and Hal Jordan take on Black Hand! The Third Army rises! The Guardians of the Universe prove once again that they are jerks!
The Good
GREEN LANTERN ANNUAL is a game changer. If you're a GREEN LANTERN fan this is a must read. A lot of insanity happens in this issue, and it turns the GL Universe on its head.

This issue is chalk full of Black Hand. It seemed like he was almost getting through to Hal Jordan in this issue as well. He's become quite the creepy villain, and I loved seeing him try to manipulate Hal here. Black Hand has truly come into his own this volume, and finally, he's not someone else's puppet for once.

Get ready because there's a lot of new ideas and things thrown at you. It's almost like you're reading a brand new series in a brand new universe. It's an incredibly refreshing take on this series. I loved the idea of the Chamber of Shadows and the Guardians of the Chamber of Shadows for one big reason: it makes the Guardians of the Universe look even worse. These guys (Guardians of the Universe) are failures but not for the reasons they think they are. This all leads to a team-up you will not believe.

The idea of the Third Army is very cool. It feels like a plague more than anything else which fits into the scheme, in a sense. The Manhunters were robotic. The Lanterns were an actual living, breathing, life-form, and the Third Army comes off as this mindless disease that just infects. Brilliant.

The ending of this issue is what really had me though. I loved that it leaves so many questions open-ended about what will happen later on down the road with these characters and these concepts. I do not want to spoil anything big here, but it gets pretty crazy in this issue.

The Bad
My biggest problem is that this annual issue ties directly into the main GREEN LANTERN story line. To me, annual issues should be stand-alone or separate enough from the main story (BATMAN ANNUAL 1) to seem like it's a stand-alone issue. The only people who can truly pick this up and enjoy it are those who are already reading the main book. This shouldn't be an annual issue. It should be part of the main series.

The first page we see a member of the Third Army, it looks pretty cool, but in the pages that follow, it just looks a tad silly to me. I like the Third Army idea, but not so much the design.

The Verdict
Although I feel this should have been a stand-alone issue (as an annual) and not a tie-in to everything else in the GLU, which you really need to read to understand everything else going on in this book, I was incredibly satisfied with this issue. So much happens here and I loved every second of it. There's some great moments with the Guardians of the Universe and the Guardians of the Chamber of Shadows, and also with Black Hand facing off against Hal and Sinestro. We get some cool new concepts in this issue and a great set-up for the next story line. The only other part I didn't like was that at times, members of the Third Army looked a bit dopey.

Overall, I highly recommend this issue.

4/5

Comunque che goduria e pensare che questo è solo il prologo della saga "Third Army", che a sua volta è il prologo ad una storia ancora più grande

"Green Lantern Annual" #1 by Geoff Johns and Ethan Van Sciver with an assist from Pete Woods is branded with the prologue for "Rise of the Third Army." As usual, Johns and Van Sciver bring big things, sweeping storylines, new characters and change to the Green Lantern side of the DCU.

This story brings the Guardians' mad quest to fruition and in a plan that involves Hal Jordan, Sinestro, the Black Hand, the Guardians and new concepts like the Chamber of Shadows, the Hidden Ones and the First Lantern. Geoff Johns is at his very best when he's world building and he breaks ground on a whole new construction site with this issue. The characters don't get much development, but Hal Jordan and Sinestro exhibit their personalities in a definitive manner as the world around them continues to develop and evolve.

Johns' seemingly favorite collaborator, Van Sciver, draws up thirty of this issue's forty pages of story. The artist layers the characters in grotesque detail: etching decay into Black Hand's face, bubbling up boils on the Guardians' skin as they summon the Third Army and splattering rain off of Hal Jordan's flight jacket. Some scenes are scrubbed of distracting backgrounds, empowering Van Sciver to expand his studies of texture and tone, but when he does insert backgrounds, they are plentiful and filled with stunning specificity.

The work Pete Woods and inker Cam Smith add to "Green Lantern Annual" #1 is equivalent to a back-up or post-credits movie scene, dropping just enough to tease readers, focusing more on setup than truly moving the story forward. This is the part of the issue where the Third Army literally takes shape and Woods is up to the task of helping to define that shape while visually connecting it to the rest of the Green Lantern mythology. The Third Army has vestiges of Manhunters, Alpha Lanterns, Guardians and Green Lanterns, but deeper than that is an understated creepiness inherent in the design of the Third Army drones.

"Justice League" #12 has been snatching the headlines and fan interest this week, but "Green Lantern Annual" #1 is filled with action, fighting and surprises. Two characters die, many others are introduced. New concepts are given introduction and teased plotlines begin to congeal. While the deaths in this issue are almost anti-climatic and certain to be undone at some point, the final page of the primary adventure points stories in the directions of "Green Lantern," "Green Lantern Corps," "New Guardians" and "Red Lanterns" to be picked up after next month's zero issues. The fact that one of the deceased's rings seeks a new user, but is struggling against an error is just a sliver of what's to come. Once October rolls in, each title will host threads of the Third Army tale for four months in issues #13-16.

As summer winds down, Johns and Van Sciver come through with a summer reading comic. This is a story filled with crazy ideas, comic book violence and fan favorite characters and concepts. This is the type of story best read from a hammock or on the lawn and enjoyed for what it is: loud, fun summertime reading.

4/5
