Grant Morrison (w) Liam Sharp & Xermnico (a)
If there's one thing that Grant Morrison can create with his writing it's something surreal and alien which makes his foray into the intergalactic world of green Lantern a joy to read, though I'd be the first to admit that the stories always benefit from a second reading a little later on.
And so having read and digested his "Season One" adventures of Hal Jordan there was for me a necessity to dive into "Season Two" continuing Hal's adventures with the Blackstars and the Universe of Mu. I was not to be disappointed.
This bulky volume collects Green Lantern: Blackstars #1 - #3 plus Green Lantern: Season Two #1 to #6, a total of nine comics in all. The first part of Morrisons's story addresses the Blackstars plot to bring peace through genocide and control to the universe and sees the manipulation of both Mongul of Warworld and Superboy (Jon) of Earth.
Brother Parallax (Hal Jordan) has a mission but will his impending marriage to Belzebeth may scupper his plans to bring back a Universe in which the Green Lanterns still exist.
Of course the fact that the Green Lantern series returns as was is a bit of a giveaway though it's unlikely any reader would have expected anything different and we begin a new adventures in which some rather young, more "nubile" Guardians will make an appearance along with some wonderful creatures saved from Earth's past who adopt "Uncle Hal".
Then there's anti-matter Lanterns, space stations and Ultra-villains galore all of which must be faced regardless of the cost to Hal himself. However the despite being warned bu the Guardians will our favourite Green lantern survive?
After all he's died before hasn't he......will Hal listen? Nah....
Rating: 5 Stars Plus (Highly Recommended)
