ON SALE 6/13/23Hal Jordan’s homecoming is off to a rocky start! Carol Ferris is this close to firing him from the job he’s only just begged his way into, his power ring isn’t exactly working right, and off in the shadows, Sinestro, the architect of Hal’s current crisis, is waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Plus, the hard-hitting “John Stewart: War Journal” backup series from writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson and artist Montos heats up as the Guardian John Stewart and his team, the Watchtower, fall under siege from a mysterious new threat!
In addition the main cover and solicitation above the title has a few variant covers below.
Green Lantern #2 Spoilers and Review.
The issue begins where the previous issue’s cliffhanger left us as Green Lantern easily dispatches Steel Fury as he revels in his return and a quick pivot to the next threat of the Demolition Team.
Hal Jordan looks like he’s less serious and more mischievous during Dawn of DC.
He has a fun streak that can be macabre to others including the Demolition Team.
They’re so scared by Green Lantern’s machinations that they surrender to police immediaately.
An ignominious end to a battle with a team I enjoyed since seeing them for the first time in 1984.
In a storyline that overlapped with the Predator.
Those issues of Green Lantern are collected in Green Lantern: Sector 2814 Volume 1.
Anyhow, 39 years later, back to Dawn of DC, we see that Hal Jordan is now Ferris Air’s newest First Officer.
He’s the co-pilot to a senior aviator in a story that features Carol Ferris’ finance Nathan and ends with the two-month Knight Terrors event beginning!
The back-up story continues to the tale of the Revenant Queen who seemingly dispatched Guy Gardner last issue, with readers unclear if he’s dead or alive, leaving his new younger Green Lantern ward to deal with her threat.
John Stewart joins the fight and we see he’s still the Emerald Knight.
The Pulse.
An action-packed issue on both fronts marbled with emotion-tugging scenes. I remain intrigued. The art styles of the main story and back-up are good on their own, but don’t feel complementary. 7 out of 10.
