DCNu Reviews: Red Lanterns #1

Green Lanterns are intergalactic space cops. Mostly aliens but also three humans who have been gifted with a green ring that is the most powerful weapon in the universe. It is limited only by the wielder’s imagination and is fuelled by willpower, which its creators, the Guardians, believe is the most powerful force in the universe. Others disagree. In fact there is a whole emotional spectrum out there that has created a number of other Lantern Corps using different emotions as power sources. The Sinestro Core is fuelled by Fear, others by Hope, Love and so on and each is a different and appropriate colour. Then there are the Red Lanterns who are fuelled by Rage. The previous Green Lantern comic series has touched on the Red Lanterns, but this is the first time they’ve had their own ongoing book.

Green Lantern #1 Cover

We've already seen Justice League #1 and yesterday a whole host of other covers but today brings possibly one of the bigger titles given Green Lantern's rise to prominence under Geoff Johns. Judging from this first cover, it looks as though the Green Lantern is rising from the grave but surely not, haven't we already been through this? I say The Green Lantern, rather than Hal Jordan because really we have no confirmation that he will be our Green Lantern...but he probably will be.

So what do the The Source have to say about it?

GREEN LANTERN #1

This fall, Geoff Johns reunites with artists Doug Mahnke and Christian Alamy, as the series begins anew with GREEN LANTERN #1 with cover by Ivan Reis and Joe Prado. Together they will continue to thrill readers and expand the Green Lantern mythos.

Well that tells us absolutely nothing, thanks, but what about the rest of the Lantern titles? (continue past the jump for the rest of the Lantern titles)
