REVIEW: ‘Green Lantern’ Issue #15

Green Lantern #15 is published by DC Comics, written by Jeremy Adams, pencils by Fernando Pasarin, inks by Oclair Albert, colors by Romulo Fajardo Jr, and letters by Dave Sharpe. There is a backup story. Written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson, art by Montos, colors by Adriano Lucas, and letters by Sharpe. This is part of the Absolute Power event. Green Lantern and The Flash find a weapon that can be used to break into the Hall of Order.

This issue continues as one of the most integral tie-ins to the crossover. Part of the event from the beginning, Hal has been a crucial member of the resistance. With Wally by his side, Hal’s adventure is smooth and calm as he explains the rules and parameters of the transport they are hijacking. But from there, the story throws the heroes into action.

At that point, the storyline features the other Lanterns and the storylines bubbling over. Alan Scott is trapped in Waller’s prison, while Star Sapphire has donned the pink ring and is trying to help those in danger. This storyline expands the parts of the Green Lantern series that have been on the backburner since Absolute Power began.

It’s a disturbing, dark plot line reminding the heroes that actions have consequences. Once moving parallel, the stories end the issue by overlapping and combining. The endings to Green Lantern #15 are telegraphed well in advance, but they are satisfying nonetheless.

Adams beautifully writes the characters in Green Lantern #15. For Hal and Wally, Adams laces the dialogue with history and memory. They have known each other for years and resonate through every word. Even when Oracle speaks through his earpiece, recognizing and understanding their personalities is warm and comforting.

Elsewhere, Alan Scott has been working with Jadestone, the Amazon robot that has developed a personality and free will. The conversation requires intricate persuasion and inspiration, and Alan’s experience makes him the best possible option. Meanwhile, Carol Ferris is adjusting to life as a superhero, thrown into the deep end. This is made even more complicated when her ex-fiance, Rob, appears.

Rob has been transformed into an insidious and unsettling new villain, one that is fuelled by sorrow. This leads to Carol being more emotional than the other Lanterns in the issue. This shows the emotional range that Adams can write with, which is essential in a Green Lantern comic.

The art is exciting and fantastic. Both Green Lantern and The Flash look very different than they usually do due to the changes in their powers and equipment. Flash looks like a futuristic version of himself, with a high-tech speedster bike and an outfit that makes him look like a racer. Hal is in a bomber jacket that returns to his life as a pilot. The vehicle they find to get Green Lantern to the Hall of Order is an imposing, impressive behemoth with remarkable amounts of detail added.

The chaos that ensues during the fight scenes is superb in Green Lantern #15. This is best seen in Coast City, where Carol faces the new villain. His influence starts to hit before she appears, as characters turn hysterical, even established and experienced heroes. But the new design is exceptional. It is haunting and disturbing.

The colors are attractive for a Green Lantern comic, as not much of the tile color is included. Hal’s ring isn’t charged, so he reverts to normal clothes and regular shades. The vibrancy, therefore, comes from Star Sapphire, with the violet energy radiating from her and her ring. There are other bright colors used by Fajardo Jr, including Flash’s red and yellow costume. The lettering is clear and straightforward to read.

The backup story is an epilogue to Green Lantern: War Journal.  It’s an exciting comic with sensational art, and hopefully, it encourages some readers to catch the whole series before it moves on.

Green Lantern #15 cements the character’s importance. Hal has been a significant event feature outside the main book, bringing weapons and reinforcements. But branching the story out through the supporting cast has broadened the crossover range immensely, covering the globe and outer space. The creators have seamlessly worked with the others involved in Absolute Power. The event is also interlaced with the storylines that flow through this Green Lantern run.

Green Lantern #15 is available now wherever comics are sold.

TL;DR

Green Lantern #15 cements the character’s importance. Hal has been a significant event feature outside the main book, bringing weapons and reinforcements. But branching the story out through the supporting cast has broadened the crossover range immensely.
