Decent story. Nice art. But... Can we please bring Kyle out of the closet already?! Nobody cares anymore. Promise.A ring from each spectrum flies to Rayner's hand. A...rainbow of color, if you will.Come on!Really?!
I enjoyed this book, but not as much as I thought I would. I’m a Green Lantern fan, but I have to say that I’m very over all the different ring colors, and the fighting that goes along with it. It was cool at first but now I’m just thinking, “Ugh, can we do something else please?” Kyle is an interesting character. I like the way they are setting him up to be able to use all the rings, rather than him just doing it at the point in the story where that has to happen. I appreciate small things lik
Great pacing and amazing art Semi- predictable ending
Green Lantern: New Guardians should really be called Emotional Spectrum Rangers DCU New 52. It's not really a GL book, although it's in the GL sector of DC's diverse ecosystem.DC has taken Kyle Raynor – the perpetual worst Green Lantern in history, and given him control of a green, yellow, red, blue, indigo, orange, and pink ring. In the process he creates a forced team up of all of the lanterns of the corresponding rings he's sort of steals. The story is full of Guardian deceit (typical), and a...
A decent idea: all the emotional spectrum of colours have to team up (just like Blackest Night/Brightest Day) except this time it's as individuals, outside of the 'rules'. It would be cliché to call them a rag-tag bunch of misfits, but that's sorta the idea here...Kyle Rayner and the others lol. Saint Walker is a good addition, as I enjoyed his character in every other instance I've seen him. Breez is Red, Glomulous is Orange like Slimer (Ghostbusters), then Fatality as Star Sapphire, Muk as Ind...
This is nearly a pitch-perfect continuation of the Rainbow Lanterns saga; it could have been written by Geoff Johns, for all that means, good and bad.On the upside, we get great cosmic adventure and also a continued investigation of the background of the Rainbow Lanterns.On the downside, characterization is pretty poor: it's almost all action.Overall, it was a fun read if not a very deep one, that I definitely want to continue. Although I was annoyed by the too-typical-for-the-New-52 lack of any...
It's a bit if a hodgepodge of leftover characters, none of whom seem able to comprehend or calculate the events that are taking place around them. For the most part, the action consists of petty squabbling between the different coloured factions of the Lantern Corps. You know, Lanterns of every colour seem really gullible these days. They seem perfectly content to not only be manipulated and lied to by the Guardians, but also by any past enemy that sings them a slightly sympathetic tune. Everyon...
Kyle Rayner is my favorite Green Lantern: the twenty-something sensitive artist type with a hopeful outlook that can still kick serious butt. I also enjoy the 'rainbow' lantern corps, in this case represented in the New Guardians. Put these two together in the Green Lantern New Guardians series and I'm loving it! The problems I had were some confusing fight scenes and a bit too much talking throughout. Tyler Kirkham's art was very good although the fill-in artists were a bit disappointing. I lik...
Not bad. Stared off very well but got a bit overloaded by the end. Still all in all pretty decent.
This book does a good job of establishing character through conflict - almost the entirety of the book is battles, and the personality of most of the characters comes through not just in the dialog but also in their approaches to battle. Using rings as a MacGuffin gets a strong start to the story, although the mystery of why they were all attracted to Kyle sort of disappears midway through in the shadow of a larger threat that drives the individuals toward teamwork. There's a lot of good here, b...
This book had great artwork and so much potential, and they wasted it all.
It took me forever to get around to reading this series. In fact, I started 46 of the original 52 titles in the New 52 universe before coming to this one simply because of the fact that I've never been much of a Kyle Rayner fan. The only GL that I like less than him is John Stewart. I probably wouldn't have liked this series at all if it focused solely on Kyle. Luckily for me, members of each of the other Corps are all equally showcased. St. Walker from the Blue lanterns is present. As is Arkill...
It had to happen. The only question was who and when? And I think the choice was perfect in the end. In fact you can probably say that Kyle exists only for this reason. Reason being of course to unite the spectrum and harness each individual colour and its power. The possibilities are enormous and it will be interesting to see where we go. I just feel that this edition not enough justice was done to Kyle and too many things were happening at the same time. Still the GL universe is so complex tha...
Of the Green Lantern books in the DCnU, this might be my favorite. I am not much of a Green Lantern fan. I typically only read the occasional arc. The idea of a team featuring a member from each of the corps is pretty interesting. I like Kyle's characterization, though I would have preferred seeing him use his ring more. The volume has a little too much exposition, but it is also accessible to new readers. The art is okay, but I really enjoyed the coloring.
