If the destruction is left unchecked, the entire universe could be ripped apart. And the wicked Starbreaker Corps, a collective of cosmic vampires known as Sun-Eaters, seeks to feed on the chaos. Now Hal Jordan must lead his people and defend his home against this onslaught. But how will they fight back when Starbreaker and his siblings have stolen the one thing that might be able to stop them…the power to feel? Collects Green Lantern #25-27 and Green Lantern Corps #7-9
This actually felt epic like the 2010s stories of GL which were basically war of the light involving everyone like all the lantern corps and its so well done! I like how it gets into the gray zones of the emotional spectrum and thus the fractal lanterns and we see they make their own lantern corps after a battle in Gemworld, that was a cool issue seeing Hal ride a dragon lol!
I like how his this gets into that and then you see a NULL-WAVE pass on and the universe is drained of emotions and how the GLC have changed and its upto the artifical beings in the GLC to save them and I love how it focuses on Aya specially and seeing the lanterns change without the emotions and its cool what it leads to! The emotional entities! Love the retcon to see where they were and how it ties together with GL old continuity!
And then the heroes using the entities to power up again and its cool to see diff. emotions and all and them taking the fight to the Starbreaker corps on their planet and their Gray power battery and what it results in and theres like the close of the loop with Nathan and that was emotional and a close of a major arc!
And then the thing with John and holy.. the way Jeremy is just bringing all continuity together is just amazing, he is just putting it all together in such a well awesome thoughout out way and it will make you emotional for sure with what happens and powering up the other lanterns and then the big WAR.. GLC and the other lanterns vs Starbreaker corps and its an epic story and I really loved that!
I just love how the last issue is just war on all sides and its epic as it should be and Hal gets some emotional moments for sure and like the big fight moment but how the ending happens is.. umm yeah.. still other than that its sort of a good close with the whole lanterns being gone and then now OA home to all lanterns and the return of a big former villain..
Its as epic as the GL stories should be after like 2 years worth of continuity being built and it takes all the other prior continuity and stitches it so well to inform this story and its as epic as it could be and the art is freaking awesome and I had a really fun time reading it and I highly recommend it.. Jeremy is coming into his own with this book!
The newly minted Green Lantern Corps series clashes with the ongoing Green Lantern series for their first big crossover as the Starbreaker Corps tries to drain the Emotional Spectrum once and for all.
There are a lot of fun parts to this crossover. The Emotional Entities stuff, the Source Wall callbacks to Lights Out, and Kyle Rayner getting to have some spotlight are all highlights, for example, and you can't go wrong with a big double page spread full of Lanterns fighting things. But as a combination, there's something missing here. Maybe it's the large cast that pulls focus all the time, or the fact that the Starbreakers themselves just aren't all that great as a set of villains?
Definitely lesser than the sum of its parts, but not bad. I think expecting this to be as good as the old Geoff Johns crossovers was my own fault, putting things on a pedestal. But Sinestro Corps War, this is unfortunately not.
