He Forged his own ring from sheer willpower in the first issue of Hal Jordan & The Green Lantern Corps #1 several years back. The manipulation of willpower by the Manhunter Armor brought it out of him. That's how I interpreted it.
@@Wes_From_TC Oh nice the brought back that. I thought they''ve gotten rid of that in the previous Green lantern comic because of what happened at the end when they restored the power battery.
A good Hal Jordan and John Stewart Green Lantern? Oh yeah! I love the dichotomy. Hal Jordan is the charmer, the rogue, the leading man. John Stewart is the planner, the architect, the marine. Both are incredibly strong willed and great Green Lanterns. They just do the job in different ways. Having both back is going to be awesome. I've dabbled in Green Lantern for years but haven't really read it since Geoff Johns. I'm so happy it's really back.
Jeremy Adams is just one of my favorite comic authors now. He understands the characters he writes very well. He also has written a variety of the animated DC movies that have released recently, most of which I have liked a lot. He is also, from my experience, the most reachable comic writer out there.
One of the things that brought me to this channel, years ago, were the reviews by Wes. Very detailed and thought out. I do miss the categories that Wes used to use like "characterization" ... he would give each category a rating out of 5. Still good stuff, Wes. 😊
Thanks for doing this vid. Glad to hear Green Lantern is back. Once the Morroson run ended I got 2 issues into the next and took it off my pull list. Going to go pick this one up and hopefully I will like it enough to make it a monthly grab again.
So pleased to hear this. Batman, Green Lantern and Martian Manhunter are my favourite DC characters. Haven't enjoyed Green Lantern since Geoff Johns left (sorry - I know you love Robert Venditti Wes, I found his work boring and dropped it after 3 issues), so really hope this is a return to form. The art looks great too, so looking forward to reading this!
Kyle is still my fav GL, but Hal is really good when written well. The Flash with Wally as the lead has been FANTASTIC so hopefully DC keeps focusing on the characters the fans love
I had no intention of picking up the new Green Lantern series. Not ever been a big favorite of mine and even though I grew up in the Silver Age, I'm pretty over Hal Jordan. But when I saw Jeremy Adams was writing this book, insta-buy! I figure if anyone could take Hal Jordan Green Lantern and make me want to read one of his titles again, it would be Jeremy Adams. The guy is a fantastic writer! I was so sad he was/is leaving Flash, another book I would not be reading except for him (and your channel pointing out the book).
I agree with your assessment, Wes. I have a great deal of trust in Adams (he did write 2 eps of the animated series). I was fortunate to be able to interview both Adams and Johnson recently and I think Green Lantern is in the best hands they've been in in some time. Hal is back, thankfully! The John Stewart series is currently planned as a limited series, but it may go longer if the response to it is good.
@Shade Draws - SinR Studios No he is A GL Not THE GL! JOHN, KYLE AND GUY are just as much GLs as Jordan is. Frankly I find them all more interesting than Hal! Stop putting mr. Silver age on a bloody pedestal
Green Lantern specifically Hal has been my all time favorite DC character. I started reading in the 70's. I have not read a green lantern book in a long time, too jaded and very hesitant to pick this up. I will give it a shot if the first story trade comes out.
I fucking loved this issue. I thought Jeremy Adams using Top Gun: Maverick as a basis for this run was a great idea. And the PKJ backup story was also good. Things are looking up for Green Lantern. And to think that we almost got Mariko Tamaki to relaunch GL. Massive bullet dodged.
This comic felt cinematic; drinking on the top of a trailer staring at the stars, stepping on the gas to hit a supervillain, danger zoning through an obstacle course. Jeremy Adam's knows what's cool. I even liked that Hal was kind of a dick. He's been hanging with space gods. He won't understand the value of earth tech. And combining his brain waves with all that raw will power energy (I think that's what happened) was very clever.
Absolutely agree , I tend to agree with most of your comic takes, because of military background or the classic ideas of what hero’s should be.? Either way , good take and hopefully I can earn a subscription from you !
I'm happy Adams is bringing his writing to another great DC character. I hope DC keeps him Wes, you're right, Hal Jordan is basically Maverick from Top Gun.
Great news and happy DC is smart enough to keep on Adams. Man I’m not gojng to get my hopes up but maybe DC might shock us and actually turn things around….. I won’t hold my breath but hey having hope never hurts lol.
Been out of the game for a while but GL is my favorite for sure and you’ve piqued my curiosity with this new run. Granted, I wish Kyle was in the spotlight but I’ll take any good GL story at this point. Sounds like this may be a good time to get back to the shop.
@@StratumPress Your are a fuckjng background character. If you actually took off the Nostalgia glasses 4 1 fucking minutes you would realise how wring6 you are. John Kyle and Guy deserve your respect so go and actually read their fucking stories before you mouth off!
Wes this has me excited I’m a huge GL/DC fanboy and it’s about time we got Green Lantern back as I’ve been so dejected with DC over last couple of years
Green Lantern was my favourite DC comic for years, Johns run is one of the best comic runs ever, it’ll never be beat!! But even if Johns came back it wouldn’t bring me back to comics, just can’t compete with manga. I’m currently reading Assassination Classroom, an alien has came to earth & blown up half of the moon, he’s forced the government to giving him a teaching job over the worst students at a top school and told them they have a year to take him out, after that he will destroy the world. How fun is that premise???
Great first issue. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes. I'm also hoping that Jeremy Adams brings Omega Bam Man to this title. Breakout star of 2022
My favorite DC and Marvel heroes are: 1. Captain America 2. Spider-Man 3. Superman 4. Wonder Woman 5. The flash Who are y'all top five favorite Justice League villains and who would be the top three villains in your Justice League Movie trilogy.
I wish DC would do a new Who's Who In The DC Universe maxi series like in the 80's. Maybe do a technical manual as well. What are the mechanics of a Green Lantern ring? How did the Golden Age Hawkman's wings work? I mean, two yellow straps and wings? What allows them to flap?
While I won’t get this issue until my mail order subscription arrives, I did happen to get to read Shazam #1 and that is darn near a perfect comic!!! I’m hoping I like GL almost as much!
I want to read this but between finishing Geoff Johns new 52 GL and finishing collecting Ron Marz's GL I have no room left for this book atm. Maybe if it continues to be good ill grab it.
I read the issue this weekend and was really surprised on how well it was...and I am not a gl fan but I wish the issue was one full story not two stories....
I get the Top Gun thing, but I think it's more based on say Chuck Yeager, the soviet test pilots, all those men who took on a dangerous job. That's probably the intent, but modern audiences don't really understand that, so fine. Hell, the Wright brothers made bicycles. They could have easily died at Kitty Hawk. But they didn't. A lot of people who pioneered air/space travel died or were considered crazy. That's either stupid, faith or courage. Or maybe a mix. And it's been adjusted i think that Hal does know fear. He just gets past it.
I would like to think that Jeremy Adams and other writers like him could start fixing the DC Universe. But then I remember Jim Lee's remarkable ability to mess things up. I guess we'll see.
thoughts on the new hulk series by the guy who did action comics and whether or not if it will be good. I been trying so hard to get back into comics but nothing has grabbed me and i'm a marvel guy so I hope this new writer is good for hulk
@@tkim72003 Moon Knight iand Ghost Rider are the only current ongoings I really like. The throwback miniseries like Joe Fixit and Avengers War Across Time are good as well. But they just finished.
Hmm... As a Hal Jordan fan myself, and going from the panels you showed, Hal back on Earth, getting a job at Ferris again, starting all over with Carol again, is pretty trite ground. In fact, I'm pretty sure Hal Jordan & The Green Lantern Corps ended with Hal getting back together with Carol. Now he's not for the, what, umpteenth time? For a minute there I wondered if this story could be connected to Gunn's plan to make a buddy-cop Hal/John mini-series on Earth. I think I'm gonna wait and see with this one.
Green Lantern was always a great concept, similar to the Jedi Knights. It could have been and should have been executed so much better than it ever was. Unfortunately, it has pretty much sucked from the beginning, regardless of whether it was Hal Jordan or one of those other guys. I'm wondering, Wes, if you ever read the single-issue story of the young Vietnamese boy who became Green Lantern after his Grandmother died? She was Green Lantern and he somehow got her ring. I guess this was supposed to be a kiddie-appeal story but it was really good and I wished they'd dropped ALL other Green Lanterns and kept the kid on as the one and only Green Lantern in the DC Universe.
I would agree the comic feels right. The reforging scene is also bad ass - it both feels like Hal and reaffirms instead of redcon-ing half the decade again. I am still, only somewhat, disappointed though. I grew up with what was supposed to be the "next generation" of the major 3: Wally as Flash, Kyle as GL and Nightwing (as his own I guess). It's kinda sad that 25 years later they still feel as B-Listers (though at least we got Wally back, and the real one at that - I really didn't like Folly). On the topic - I would love to have a main line Kyle GL comics, as him being an artist in the universe, the real artists can get extremely creative with his constructs. Alsohe has a more spritual connection to his powers, similar to Wally to the speed force. I kinda liked his white lantern run, but the cosmic Jesus vibe is too overpowered to work consistently as a story engine - or they don't have the writers to pull it off at least.
the robert vendetti run is also amazing, hal and the other lanterns from earth kick all the asses! am going to be cautiously optimistic on this run, but the carol and hal breaking up thing is getting tiresome
I found this a very average start to GL series.Adams just repeat the same old tropes with Hal Jordan.He needs job and goes to Carol Ferris and founds a new enemy to fight.Hal needs something new just back with Hal Jordan and The Green Lantern Corps book.He's the greatest Green Lantern of all.I wanna to see Jessica Cruz again.
Like seeing the people who’ve ignored two years of enjoyable Jeremy Adams books now come out of the woodwork to be negative. We get it, but the culture war garbage is getting old on both sides. If you aren’t interested don’t get the book and don’t care about the product, it’s that simple. But at least understand the writer, you know the guy who pretty much saved Wally West.
On paper, it sure looked good as I liked Jeremy Adams's run on Flash (minus the One Minute War) and I like to see Hal Jordan finally back on earth. It's been years we're having Green Lantern's stories, but not Hal Jordan's stories. It was about time to see the man behind the mask once again. But, tbh, the story so far isn't thrilling, the cliff is generic af, and worse, Hal is behaving like a child, as if he never evolved. So many parts in this issue feel off or rushed, like when Hal meets Carol, it should have been a moment we wait for. Jeremy Adams should have spent few issues, maybe the first arc, for Hal to aclimatate and prepare what he would tell Carol when they reunite. Instead, he's just back and Carol sees him as some annoying ex, while they're supposed to share a bond after all they lived together. (She was a Star Saphire for god's sake). This issue felt quite empty of any psychology to me. (Apart from that moment with Hal reflecting on his van and looking at the sky). Idk, but I was really disapointed by that first issue. My comic of the week would be Daredevil (Or Nemesis Reloaded, especially for what it's announcing)
while i enjoyed the chapter it kinda feels like a deja vu. i constantly got the feeling like i already read this story for the third time. hope addams gives this an interesting new spin (unlike the "tom taylor"s of the world)
I enjoyed this issue. My only complaint is it seems like this has been done many times before. Hal is back and he's going to be a test-pilot and get back with his old girlfriend again?
So does Hal not need his ring anymore tu use his powers? Because that ring came out of noware.
He Forged his own ring from sheer willpower in the first issue of Hal Jordan & The Green Lantern Corps #1 several years back. The manipulation of willpower by the Manhunter Armor brought it out of him. That's how I interpreted it.

100% agree. You can already see that Adams is building to something great with these characters.

Feels like DC is getting their act together. Never read GL before and this was great. Adding it to my pull list.

Loved #1! Every Jeremy Adams comic feels like a cool breeze on a hot summer day.
I'm thinking Adams may be one of those writers where I'll read characters I've never read if he's on the book.

GL is my favorite, I have a half sleeve featuring Hal and the symbols for all the corps and Darkest Night and Brightest Day
Great to see, once again, Adams doesn't disappoint us👏🏻 😎. I'll check out ASAP.

Nice! I picked this up hoping for the best. Phew, I can usually count on your taste in good comics Wes. Thanks for the review Bro!!
Identity Crisis, Crisis of Conscience, and Cry for Justice notwithstanding I like Hal.
Awesome work mate
It felt light, relatable, and hopeful. I enjoyed the read.
Gosh I so want them to be successful. Maybe we will get solo series for Rainer and Gardener, or even Jessica Cruz and Simon Baz.
And G'Nort! I can dream....

I'm a Hal and John fan, so this book was right up my alley.
excited to get my copy now, Jeremy Adams and Philip Kennedy Johnson are the 2 best writers in DC today
Hal Jordan is the brand. Good to have an actual GL book that doesn’t overthink it.
No he isn't. The franchise doesn't revolve solely around him.

You think Jeremy Adams would be able to repair Tim Drake and Jon Kent if given the opportunity?
If DC editorial let him cook I don't see why not.
I liked it. I know your friends at comics elite hated it😂😂
I hope he does something cool with Kyle Rayner too. If that was supposed to be Guy, I'm interested in what's going on out there in space.
I think the PKJ secondary story was actually taking place in a different universe or timeline? So it was Guy, or at least a version of Guy.
Oh thank God. I was holding off until I heard good news
I enjoyed this book so much it almost made me forget Thorne’s run. I’m going to re-read it again after watching this review. 👍🏼
It's so good!
This is a must read than.
Maybe Marvel can get Jeremy Adams to Write "The Amazing Spider-man"? Without being a Conflict of interest?
Our boy is back Hal is the best ever
I’m pretty sure EVS would love it.
Just when I’ve dropped DC… Wes pull’s me back in lol

I liked it felt a little derivative. None the less, it was a good Hal Jordan book,I would give it 3.75
Didn't mention price, I BET that John Stewart story NO ONE asked for adds $1-2 to the price tag.
That's true, it's $5.
Yea not bad I actually never read a green lantern book in my life. I enjoyed it and didn’t feel lost
I found it to be fun

while i enjoyed the chapter it kinda feels like a deja vu. i constantly got the feeling like i already read this story for the third time. hope addams gives this an interesting new spin (unlike the "tom taylor"s of the world)
eh thorn admitted he hates jordan sooooo
I enjoyed this issue. My only complaint is it seems like this has been done many times before. Hal is back and he's going to be a test-pilot and get back with his old girlfriend again?
