Green Lantern #53

Wow, ol' Chuck is dragging this evening (it's been a busy day), so forgive me if this is a short review.

As things wind down from the wrap-up to the Blackest Night, this issue of Green Lantern is given over to wrapping up a few loose ends and focusing on Hal Jordan and his former (and possibly future) love interest, Carol Ferris (Star Sapphire).

New mysteries are set up: we get a hint about what happened to the demon Paralax, which vanished during the Blackest Night; we discover the White Lantern is still on Earth and calling to someone; and we're reminded that Sinestro is a jerk.

As always, a great story by Geoff Johns as he sets the wheels for future stories in motion, and great art by Doug Mahnke, who is turning in fantastic work here.

It's early yet, but the Brightest Day looks very promising so far - and it looks like a certain member of the Green Lantern Corps is stepping back into the spotlight, so that's a good thing indeed.

Green Lantern continues to be one of (if not the) best comics DC publishes. Highly recommended!

Grade: A-
