Summary:
The small town of Evergreen is remote and quiet, just the way most people like it. However, one event is about to change all of that forever. It begins with a strange monolith, which practically destroyed the town. Then a strange alien, who warned the citizens to prepare for judgment.
Now, things have gotten pretty deadly, not to mention confusing. It’s all Hal Jordan can do to keep it together. Meanwhile, others are trying to piece together what is happening or what to do.
Review:
I sincerely think that I may be in love with DC’s Absolute Universe. It has yet to disappoint (me), and that includes Absolute Green Lantern. Absolute Green Lantern Vol. 1 is a phenomenal start to a new take on Green Lanterns and the Spectrum of Light.
The beginning of Absolute Green Lantern Vol. 1 is all a mystery, and that’s very intentional. There are a few pieces up in the air, letting readers try to figure out how the pieces fit together.
It makes for a compelling story, to say the least. A bunch of our favorite Green Lanterns are mysteriously living in the same town together, though obviously they’re not GLs (yet?). That puts them at ground zero for a wild series of events, and even in this new universe, they’re possibly the best equipped to handle them.
Absolute Green Lantern Vol. 1 takes the classic script and tropes for Green Lanterns and completely flips them around. It makes it impossible to guess what the rules are (at first), what the limitations are, or what is going to happen next.
Out of all the Absolute Universe series so far, Absolute Green Lantern is easily one of my favorites. I cannot wait to see where things go, because this is a fantastic setting for something new.
Highlights:
- Absolute Universe
- Green Lanterns Reinvented
- Jo Mullein, Hal Jordan, and other famous GL
- “Be Without Fear”
