Absolute Green Lantern #1 Review: Hal Jordan Faces Cosmic Horror - Comic Book Movies and Superhero Movie News - SuperHeroHype

The first issue of Absolute Green Lantern #1 is a work of existential alien horror rather than the franchise's usual epic space opera.

Al Ewing‘s script for Absolute Green Lantern #1 evokes the spirit of H.P. Lovecraft. There is more horror than awe to the weird power that seems to have chosen Hal Jordan. The general tone is far closer to a Junji Ito manga than E. E. “Doc” Smith’s space opera.

    I’ve been passing on most of the Absolute stuff, but Martian Manhunter was stellar, this looks promising as well.

      I’m in a similar position - I may go back and read the books on the Trinity but it is Martian Manhunter and Green Lantern that have made me sit up and pay attention. Although I am trade-waiting both so it’ll be a bit before I get to read them.

    Sounds pretty much like the first Green Lantern comic that I’ll read. I love comics, but the GL never woke my interest.
