Therefore, Julius Schwartz, the editor of DC, assigned Gil Kane as an artist and John Broome as a writer to revive Green Lantern. At that time, the revival of The Flash was a resounding success. He was regularly seen in Justice Society comics but never had his own series. He made appearances in comics alongside other superheroes. When superheroes re-emerged in later decades, Alan Scott returned as Green Lantern. Alan Scott made his last appearance in 1951 in All-Star Comics #57. So, DC canceled Green Lantern in 1949, in its number 38. Alan is the father of the superheroes Jade and Obsidian.ĭuring World War II, the sale of comics collapsed. His only weakness is being unable to attack elements made of vegetable matter. He could build anything he thought of through them, even invincible tools. Later he discovers that these objects gave him power. He works as a railway employee who finds a mysterious lantern and a ring one night. The JS did not initially associate with the Galactic Defense Corps of the Guardians of the Universe. He is a founding member and leader of the “Justice Society”. Bill Finger was the scriptwriter this time, and Martin Nodell was the cartoonist.Īlan Scott is the original Green Lantern. In the Golden Age of comics, the character first appeared in 1940 on the cover of All – American Comics # 16. Green Lantern has existed since the Golden Age of comics in different incarnations: Golden Age – Alan Scott During the 70s, Dennis O’Neil and Neal Adams introduced a new Green Lantern named John Stewart.

He has been around for over eight decades in the corners of the comics. Green Lantern is one of the oldest characters in DC Comics. Image via DC Comics Who is Green Lantern? This character carries a trademark power ring that can create manifestations of solid light. All in all, I really hope this run picks up some steam as time goes on, and I do have hope knowing the quality of writing Jeremy Adams is capable of.One of the most colorful fictional superheroes of the DC Universe is Green Lantern. I'm not sure if it's because I didn't read the previous run, or if this is just new stuff in an alternate universe or something. However, I'm not really sure what was going on with Guy Gardner and Shepherd. I don't mind John not being in most of it since it's setting up who his current villain will be. As for the backup, I was left a little confused. I'm just hoping things pick up a little bit in the next issue with the guy in the Manhunter suit and the Sinestro tease earlier in the issue.
I particularly enjoyed his moment on top of the RV. Hal's is a little bit annoying here during the jet drone scene, but everything else was good.
I was expecting a bit more here with how much I've enjoyed Adams' run with Flash so far, but this wasn't bad by any means. This was a solid debut issue for the new Green Lantern run.
