Review – Green Lantern #24: Prison Blues

Green Lantern #24 cover, via DC Comics. Ray: This book continues to be wildly entertaining – even as it's essentially turned into two books in one as it heads towards the 'Starbreaker Supremacy' crossover event. This issue finds Hal Jordan on Earth, as he and Carol Ferris grow closer now that she's embraced being a superhero too. This is a similar story to the one being told with Superman and Lois over in Josh Williamson's book, but they have more than enough unique elements. Where this one excels is the banter – but there's also a really interesting action plot here, as a Coast City prison has undergone an odd transformation into a happy Stepford-like location – all thanks to a mysterious axolotl that might be tied to the emotional spectrum. There are some things even more creepy than a place where everyone is miserable, and a place where everyone is happy no matter what might just hit that sweet spot. Lockdown. Via DC Comics. Meanwhile, things are distinctly less sunny for the space crew, as Kyle Rayner leads his crew of Superboy, Odyssey, and new recruit Dan Garrett. But they're not in control of their ship anymore – it seems to be pulled toward a strange destination, one that's branded with the symbol of the Green Lantern Corps. This storyline has had an odd creepy edge to it, as this motley crew follows the trail of bizarre anomalies tied to the Starbreaker mythos and discovers some strange and horrific things. And that includes Manhunters this issue – the most infamous and destructive enemies in the history of the Green Lantern Corps. But there's a big twist in the final page of the issue, bringing in a character who I never expected to make their debut in the main comics but will be VERY welcome to Green Lantern fans. This is another book that shows DC's commitment right now to embracing its history in every way. To find reviews of all the DC issues, visit DC This Week.
