![]() ![]() As much as I enjoyed the story elements in this issue, I feel like the backup style release is causing a pacing challenge. It really summarizes John as a character, and gives an insightful look to his mindset as he attempts to find his footing. There is a bit of dialogue from John where he describes finding balance after working in a high-intensity environment, and this sequence just stuck with me days after reading this issue. Can these two heroes fight off an impending horde of seemingly dead Lanterns?! He soon realizes that he is not alone, as an alternate version of John Stewart arrives on the scene, revealing more about this potential timeline. Meanwhile, the attack on AUAT continues, as young Lantern Sheppard struggles to hold the line against the impending threat. John has a great conversation with his mom, discussing how challenging it is to step back to Earth after being away for so long. The first issue ended with a shocking detour to “Another Universe, Another Time” (I’m gonna call it AUAT for short), and we get more information about that mysterious battle with this new threat. John Stewart continues to find his own path in the second installment of “Homecoming”. I loved the different perspectives that were used over these pages, as the vivid designs perfectly captured the excitement and joy of our favorite pilot.Ĭreative Team: John Stewart – “Homecoming: Part Two” From a visual perspective, the sequence of Hal testing the ring’s flight capabilities was absolutely stunning. The 24 hours of how Hal got his new job is a perfect example of this, as the single page detour made for an amusing and insightful addition. I’m really enjoying the non-linear approach to the story, as it is helping to keep the pacing but also allow for surprising story beats. Whether it is experimenting with his new ring, stopping the bad guys, or trying to impress Carol, there is no question that Adams understands the inner workings of Hal. ![]() Hal’s voice and characterization once again shine in this installment. With some encouragement, Hal gets his act together, and finds a surprising new role at Ferris Air.Ĭontinuing the momentum from a launch issue can be daunting, but Adams and his team do it with style in Green Lantern #2. After learning the limits of his new ring, Hal returns home and has a heart to heart with Kilowog, who is apparently stuck on Earth with him. While stopping a group of thieves called the “Demolition Gang”, Hal decides to channel another superhero and has some fun taking down the bad guys. With a new ring in hand, Hal wastes no time putting these new powers to the test and enjoys this piece of his lost lifestyle. Picking up from the final reveal at the end of stunning first issue, Hal has successfully stopped the dangerous thief using the Manhunter armor.
