Since then they have written such best-selling series as JLA, BATMAN and New X-Men, as well as such creator-owned works as THE INVISIBLES, SEAGUY, THE FILTH, WE3 and JOE THE BARBARIAN. In addition to expanding the DC Universe through titles ranging from the Eisner Award-winning SEVEN SOLDIERS and ALL-STAR SUPERMAN to the reality-shattering epic of FINAL CRISIS, they have also reinvented the worlds of the Dark Knight Detective in BATMAN AND ROBIN and BATMAN, INCORPORATED and the Man of Steel in The New 52 ACTION COMICS.
In their secret identity, Morrison is a "counterculture" spokesperson, a musician, an award-winning playwright and a chaos magician. They are also the author of the New York Times bestseller Supergods, a groundbreaking psycho-historic mapping of the superhero as a cultural organism. They divide their time between their homes in Los Angeles and Scotland.

I really enjoyed Morrison's first 12 issues (and one miniseries) on Green Lantern. It reminds me of his New X-Men, hitting a nice balance of Morrison's weirdness, but not going over the edge.
I am not quite sold on a "Season Two", but I do appreciate the idea of giving a chance for new readers to jump in. I don't think the Comic Publishers do as good of a job as they could on doing that. On the other hand, resetting to "Issue 1" has become a habit I am not fond of.
The kickoff to Season Two doesn't feel like anything than more of a continuation for me. It's kind of a jumble, but certain moments do pop through. Perhaps, it's setting up the story of Season Two. It should work fine for those who liked Season One, but I doubt it draws in anyone who wasn't already there. It wades into the Morrison territory of 'too much going on' inaccessibility.
Additionally, I neither love nor hate Sharp's artwork. It seems the appropriate choice for the DCU, and yet, like Morrison's writing, it seems like it is trying to accomplish too much in too little space.
My caveats for the series continue. I would still encourage Morrison fans to check it out. Likely, you opinion will fall where you normally think about Morrison. As far as the Green Lantern aspect, I am not sure Morrison's story really has much resemblance to the character's Mythos, so whether that bothers you or not, will also affect your opinion. As I think some of the negative criticism I have of this issue is based on it being "relaunched" (and there's some fun stuff, here, too), I am still excited for it.

Luego de detener la amenaza de los Controladores, Hal tiene nueva misión: los guardianes ya han cumplido su ciclo y debe buscar al caótico Maltus a los nuevos guardianes ¿estará contento con lo que estas nuevas autoridades tengan que decir?
Como siempre, Morrison siembra brisas, que sabemos cosecharan en tornados. Entusiasmado por esta segunda temporada

I almost feel bad rating this so low, partly because I love the artwork and am tempted at three stars for the visuals alone, but also because I liked the first few issues of the “Season One” series and admittedly did not read to the end. I felt as though the first few pages we’re disconnected and before I figured it out I had already lost interest.
