review:
'Green Lanterns Vol. 3' by Sam Humphries has been a really fun series to read. I love the journey of Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz as they deal with being heroes.
Green Lanterns wield a lot of power, but Baz and Cruz are still new enough to the hero game to get excited about helping out the Justice League or getting invited to Gotham City to help Batman on a case. Jessica struggles with anxiety, and Simon feels inadequate. These are problems for a power that works on sheer willpower.
This volume is a series of shorter stories. There is a story arc in Gotham involving citizens acting violently based on fear. There is a story about the first lantern, Volthoom, that doesn't seem to have anything to do with our heroes (but it's a storyline that I suspect is still building). The final story involved Doctor Polaris and Amanda Waller. This last story is interesting in it's complexity.
The story writing is very good. I love how flawed and excited these characters are. They are new to the game, and we get some internal looks at what they seem to be going through. The art is consistently good throughout, even over a bunch of different artists.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from DC Entertainment and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
