Green Lantern Corps #59


Not even Aaron Lopresti can save that terrible design for John Stewart.

Tony Bedard doesn't do a lot better in the interiors. The whole idea of the Earth Rainbow works a lot better in theory than in practice. Kyle's blue ring can't do anything, John's purple just sputters and sparks, and Guy's doesn't exactly work wonders in talky situations. When the Earthlings try to ride in to save Ganthet, they are a pretty ineffective bunch. I do like the way Bedard often has Ganthet say what I'm thinking about the title's actions; this issue he tells Hal that taking these rings was a terrible idea and they should have waited to make a real plan. Not a whole lot else happens in this.

Tyler Kirkham's art looks totally different. He must be struggling with the deadline (or getting a very different inker) because all that Silvestri-style crosshatching is gone. This is a rush job in comparison.
