And according to the latest solicits, it looks like Patrick Zircher will have a turn as well.HelloTherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05602812462354227620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-7897338525663843482018-05-21T17:48:38.455-05:002018-05-21T17:48:38.455-05:00Green Lanterns was definitely a book that had a ro...Green Lanterns was definitely a book that had a rough start, but eventually got better as Humphries found his groove.

It was more like first Tom King's books, then Dan Abnett's, and so on.<br /><br />But yeah, I do like Silencer a lot. It's the one New Age of DC Heroes book that actually feels unique and not like a Marvel concept shoehorned in the DCU, with a cool protagonist who's sympathetic despite her checkered past, surprising ties to pre-existing characters and a supporting cast I actually care about. It's just a shame that Romita left after just 3 issues, but Bogdanovic is a decent replacement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-81346339091044300472018-05-20T21:55:42.920-05:002018-05-20T21:55:42.920-05:00Listed Silencer after Mister Miracle, Batman, and ...Listed Silencer after Mister Miracle, Batman, and Aquaman, and before Deathstroke(!). I admit, I'm intrigued.

My favorite DC books right now are Mister Miracle, Batman, Aquaman, The Silencer, Deathstroke, Hal Jordan and the GLC, The Snagglepuss Chronicles, The Wild Storm and Michael Cray, and I have high hopes for Snyder's Justice League and trepidation for Bendis's Superman.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-45025273349834906952018-05-17T16:13:06.751-05:002018-05-17T16:13:06.751-05:00I'm on the fourth volume now, and the first th...I'm on the fourth volume now, and the first three-issue arc had a different artist per issue. Come to think of it, "Polarity" did too. That's always a bad sign on a book; I'm surprised they allowed that for a Green Lantern title. <br /><br />I did think this title got better especially in Vol. 3 (it's no Deathstroke but what is), but three issues of just kg jabbering with Kyle and Guy in Vol. 4 hasn't moved me quite yet. <br /><br />What're you reading these days? collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-85853474469467821952018-05-17T16:07:18.814-05:002018-05-17T16:07:18.814-05:00Unfortunately, the artistic inconsistencies contin...Unfortunately, the artistic inconsistencies continue after this volume, with even more pencillers joining the rotation, which is disappointing if compared to how most issues of Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps were drawn by either Van Sciver or Sandoval.<br /><br />I found this arc a chore to read, but I'm glad I didn't give up on Green Lanterns, because Humphries's writing kept growing on me with each arc, and by the time his run ended I was genuinely sorry to see him go. Come to think of it, I went through the same thing with Seeley's run, only in a much shorter timeframe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
