Devil Comics Review | Green Lanterns: Rebirth #1 [2016]

Hype Writer Geoff Johns brought Hal Jordan and the Green Lanterns back to new heights beginning with Green Lantern: Rebirth in 2004. Flash forward to the New 52, Geoff Johns introduced Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz. Now these two characters will star in their own series written by Sam Humphries as they take on the Red Lanterns. 

Rehash An unknown Guardian who is hunted by the Dominators carries a new mysterious ring. An unknown aircraft arrives on Earth and signals new Green Lanterns Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz to the scene where they confront a Manhunter. Both of the failed to take down the Manhunter however it was only a test by Hal Jordan who merges their Lantern batteries together so they can collaborate better. Now they will be trained by the Justice League when the Green Lantern Corps are not around. We learn following the Blackest Night and Brightest Day the Red Dawn will begin. 

Feedback This Rebirth title is better than the Superman and Batman as it brings in the legacy of the Green Lantern Corps. The Corps are increasing in number because a threat is looming ahead. The series focuses on two minority characters which were introduced within the New 52 and this title pays tribute to their legacy.

Devil Comics Review | DC Universe: Rebirth #1 [2016]

Hype Following 2011’s New 52, DC Comics revitalizes the comic industry with Rebirth and bring legacy back to their characters. The one-shot promises a death of a character and the return of three characters to the DC Universe. DC is celebrating the event by releasing a limited edition midnight cover on the day of its release. The book is 80 pages and for only $2.99 and the final page promises to be explosive. 

Rehash The DC Universe Rebirth special is a continuation from the events of the Darkseid War and the Final Days of Superman story arcs which their finales were both released on the same day. During the Darkseid War, three versions of the Joker were revealed as well as Wonder Woman having a twin brotherwhile the Final Days of Superman saw the death of the New 52 Superman. The issue begins with the return of the Pre-Flashpoint Wally West attempting to reach out to Batman who has forgotten him in the first chapter Lost

The second chapter Legacy explores the Justice Society of America, Legion of Super-Heroes, the Microverse and the death of Pandora who brought the New 52 together. She was heavily marketed and her appearance was in every New 52 first issue in 2011. Her death will bring cheers for DC fans.

The third chapter Love features the aftermath of the Final Days of Superman where heroes like Green Arrow, Superman, and Aquaman are reconnecting their past loves including Wally West and Linda Park.

The fourth chapter Life sees Wally West and the New 52 version who are revealed to be cousins. Wally meets the New 52 Flash to say goodbye and to let him know someone has infected history to make people forget. Barry remembers Wally and brings him back while remembering the past. The finale reveals they are being watched and they are the ones who are behind the missing heroes, history, and legacies: Alan Moore’s Watchmen.

Feedback Writer Geoff Johns begins the story by relating to the readers on what it is like to have read the New 52 for the past five years where forgotten heroes, legacies, and history which created a foundation of great stories were all erased. It was been revealed the stories within the Rebirth titles will build to an event in August 2018. DC fans would return to the company after reading this issue. It brings an optimistic and hopeful DC Universe back as well as preparing them for the incorporation of the Watchmen universe in 2018.

E78: Batman Eternal #49 | Green Lantern Corps #40 | World's Finest #32 Reviews [Devil Comics Entertainment]


Batman Eternal #49 begins with James Gordon surrounded by Penguin and his henchmen. He quickly overpowers the Penguin and locks them both in a cell as the Bat Family deal with the villains. Hush is creating havoc using the Bat Computer as Julia Pennyworth heads to Red Robin’s hideout to overtake Hush. Alfred frees himself and takes down Hush while also establishing contact with the Batman Family. Batman finally arrives in Gotham using a jet he stole from last issue. The excitement has built up to the final three issues where a year’s worth of Batman Eternal stories become a justified read or falls flat.

E75: Batman Eternal #48 | Earth 2 #32 | Green Lantern #40 Reviews [Devil Comics Entertainment]


Batman Eternal #48 someone contacts the Penguin to target James Gordon at Blackgate Prison. I riot breaks out at Blackgate giving Penguin a chance to get to Gordon. Meanwhile after crashing landing Batman steals a jet and heads towards Gotham as the Bat Family deal with souped-up villains. The big reveal of the villain behind Batman Eternal is expected to be in the upcoming fiftieth issue.


The heroes of Earth 2 hold the forces of Apokolips back as the Amazons and Avatars have fallen. The story continues and ends in Earth 2: World’s End as the series takes a two month break during the release of the Convergence series. The Earth 2 series could have been well spent these past six months by summarizing the events of the Earth 2: World’s End and giving the reader and additional story which corresponds to its sister weekly series.  What we got was a pointless six month substitute issues while the main events happened in the weekly Earth 2: World’s End. 

Green Lantern #40 was marketed as Hal Jordan’s ultimate betrayal against the Templar Guardians and the Corps. The status quo will eventually reduce the number of Green Lantern-related titles to two: Green Lantern and Sinestro. Jordan wants to be the scapegoat for the Green Lanterns for all their recent ills and uses Krona’s Gauntlet to fight Kilowog and leave Mogo. The reasons for Jordan to do what he is doing are unclear and cryptic. I wish the writer put more meat into Jordan’s intentions and plans which would have given the issue more weight before the two month hiatus due to the Convergence series in April and May.

E32: Green Lantern: New Guardians #37 | Justice League #37 | Wonder Woman #37 Reviews [Devil Comics Entertainment]


Green Lantern: New Guardians #37 opens with Metron giving Kyle and Carol a Motherbox to get off of Old Genesis. They reunite with John Stewart and Saint Walker on New Genesis. Together they battle Highfather to obtain the White Lantern Ring which no longer works. Now Highfather disposes them using the Life Equation. Each issue of GodHead has been a slow pace of putting all the pieces together as it leads to the final issue where all will be revealed. 

Justice League #37 continues with Batman and Superman tracking down Patient Zero of the Amazo Virus. They are quickly joined by Wonder Woman who helps take Patient Zero down so Batman can get a sample of his blood. However he is knocked out by Patient Zero and Batman becomes exposed to the Amazo Virus. Meanwhile Lex Luthor is targeted by another assassin: Bullet. 

Wonder Woman #37 begins with the Amazons being attacked by mechanical eagles as Wonder Woman is reminded of her neglected duties to the Amazons. Meanwhile Donna Troy enters into the New 52 Universe. Writer Meredith Finch ignores the event of last issue including the catastrophic event in Thailand and the destroyed clay statue of Wonder Woman’s mother. It leads to more questions as the issues progresses and ignores the events of the previous issue. It’s difficult to keep up with the story when it is so fragmented. Imagine reading various social media sites just to get one story. That’s what reading Wonder Woman was like by writer Meredith Finch. If this was the 90s then the great art could have saved the bad writing.

Batman tries to put the pieces together of who is pulling the strings behind James Gordon, the train crash, the nanovirus, and converting Wayne Manor into Arkham Manor. However the Riddler has already figured things out and decides to give Batman a push in the right direction. 

Green Lantern Corps #37 finds the Rainbow Corps trapped on New Genesis as the Highfather attempts to convert them into his own warriors against Darkseid. John Stewart and Sinestro escape with the help from one of Highfather’s generals.

John Stewart wants to use the Indigo Tribe to capture a New God and teleport them to the Anti-Matter Universe. Sinestro wants to convert one of the New Gods into a Yellow Lantern. However the Indigo Tribe takes a handful of Lanterns to New Genesis where they are surrounded and captured.

Green Lantern: GodHead Volume 2 [2014]


The second Act of GodHead begins as Hal Jordan takes his Green Lantern Corps to Sinestro in Green Lantern #36. The New Guardians arrive to reveal Kyle Rayner is alive and imprisoned him. Hal believes the New Gods have all the rings except a Black Lantern. He searches for Black Hand on Earth and joins forces with him. One of the surprises within this issue is the resurrected Flying Graysons whose death led to their son Richard Grayson to become the first Robin. 

The Sinestro Corps have taken the Green Lanterns to the Anti-Matter Universe where the Weaponeer forges new weapons against the New Gods in Green Lantern Corps #36. John Stewart on gathering the other rings beginning with the Star Sapphires. On Zamaron the New Gods attack the Star Sapphires until the Stewart arrives with reinforcements. The Corps are captured and a fallen Star Sapphire asks her ring to go to Stewart who becomes a Star Sapphire. The Corps are free and retreat to safety. 

Green Lantern: New Guardians #36 begins as Highfather takes both Kyle and Carol to New Genesis where he separates the White Lantern ring from Kyle. Highfather plans on using the Life Equation to defeat Darkseid and remake the universe. Carol attacks using all of her power within her ring. Both Kyle and Carol are dumped on Old Genesis without the use of their rings. Meanwhile Highfather tests his Life Equation to make citizens on another planet into warriors.



GodHead continues picking up where the last issue of Red Lanterns left off. Guy Gardner and Simon Baz are determined to travel to New Genesis. They find Cyborg who reluctantly helps them get to New Genesis. Gardner and Baz arrive at the home of the New Gods who attacked them on Earth. After their short battle Highfather arrives and wants them both imprisoned and interrogated. I love this issue keeps continuity. After Highfather obtains the White Ring from Kyle in Green Lanterns: New Guardians, he makes a weapon to show his followers. The GodHead story has a nice flow that keeps moving along unlike the current Marvel Axis tie-ins.


Sinestro #7 is the final part of Act II of GodHead where Sinestro and the other Lantern Corps hide in the Anti-Matter Universe. John Stewart wants to use the Indigo Tribe to capture a New God and teleport them to the Anti-Matter Universe. Sinestro wants to convert one of the New Gods into a Yellow Lantern. However the Indigo Tribe takes a handful of Lanterns to New Genesis where they are surrounded and captured.

E24: Red Lanterns #36 GodHead | Superman #36 | He-Man and the Masters of the Universe #19 Reviews [Devil Comics Entertainment]


GodHead continues picking up where the last issue of Red Lanterns left off. Guy Gardner and Simon Baz are determined to travel to New Genesis. They find Cyborg who reluctantly helps them get to New Genesis. Gardner and Baz arrive at the home of the New Gods who attacked them on Earth. After their short battle Highfather arrives and wants them both imprisoned and interrogated. I love this issue keeps continuity. After Highfather obtains the White Ring from Kyle in Green Lanterns: New Guardians, he makes a weapon to show his followers. The GodHead story has a nice flow that keeps moving along unlike the current Marvel Axis tie-ins. 

Superman #36 begins as wants to take six million people to another dimension within 24 hours. Citizens gather to leave and aliens from the other dimension are ready to take them. Ulysses visits Klerik and his parents who he refuses to take. Superman arrives to find out what is really going on and the two battle it out. Ulysses reveals he has done this exodus before and a perfect world has a cost which Earth must pay for it. The problems I have with this issue is that there are no translations with the alien conversations. It seemed like blank pages of comics when the writer and artist do this and not allowing the readers to figure out what they are saying. 

The final issue of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe has a stamp on the front that indicates this will be the Prelude to the Infinity War. However the issue takes place 12 years ago when Adam wants to become a Master but his father King Randor forbids it because he has not mastered himself. Adam is manipulated by his Uncle Keldor to prove his father wrong by venturing into the no-man’s land. Uncle Keldor asks Beast Man to take Adam hostage as he plans to poisoning the council and take over Eternia. King Randor searches for his son however his search comes under attack and is pinned down. Adam attempts to rescue his father as the Sorceress watches and grants him the strength to do so and promising to give his great power to save others. This is a fill-in issue as it doesn’t add any value as we approach the Eternity War in December.

In Justice League #36 the Amazo Virus is released and Metropolis is evacuated. Both Batman and Superman stop and contain the remaining citizens of Metropolis who has developed powers due to the Amazo Virus. Lex Luthor created the virus from the Amazo android who can mimic Metahuman powers. The virus was released due to someone targeting Luthor and that person still wants him dead. Luthor can cure the virus however he needs Patient Zero who runs into Batman and Superman. The key highlight of this issue is Wonder Woman who seems to be looking similar to her counterpart in the upcoming movie Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Wonder Woman #36 is the first issue by the David Finch and his wife Meredith. A catastrophic environmental event occurs in Thailand without any explanation. Swamp Thing is in Thailand and Wonder Woman attacks him fearing he is responsible. Wonder Woman returns to Paradise Island where she is Queen of the Amazons only to find the clay statue of her mother destroyed. This issue catches up on readers from the past 35 issues however it’s a quick read. The art is fantastic however the plotting is awful as nothing has happened warranting to buy the next issue.
