#Green lantern 2 series#

The other new Guardian, Nemosyni, delivers the eulogy as well as committing Koyos’ “inert matter” to the central power battery. Keli proves to be not quite ready for prime time. If Thorne wants to say that the Guardians have evolved into beings of energy I can buy into that, but if he’s trying to say that they have always been that way then I do have a real problem with it.

We know that the Guardians were flesh and blood creatures called Maltusans before they took on the mission as Guardians to atone for Krona’s unleashing of evil into the universe. This is something completely new and I’m a little on the fence about how I feel about it.

Thorne reveals that the Guardians are not beings of flesh and blood, that they maintain a physical form simply for the benefit of the younger species in the universe. Along with the ceremony comes the first of the major changes that Thorne unloads on readers this issue. This leads to the funeral for the dead Guardian, who we learn was named Koyos – a previously unseen member of the Guardians. The recap is paired with the news that the assassin has been taken into custody as the Green Lanterns fight his partner in crime, a magic dragon. One could have skipped the first issue and started here and not missed anything of any consequence. This issue starts with John Stewart providing a recap of the first issue, and in all honesty, I think this issue is more like a first issue itself. There are a lot of things to note about the events of this issue, so prepare for this review to try to unpack some of those details along with being a traditional review. This issue also marks the last issue of artist Dexter Soy, with Tom Raney taking over and pairing with Marco Santucci on pencils.

The second issue of the new volume of Green Lantern was released recently, and with this issue writer Geoffrey Thorne shakes up the status quo and pushes the series in the direction of his Future State storyline.
