So I'm a big Morrison and Sharp fan, and this book is 100 percent in the wheelhouse of Grant Morrison continuity deep cuts mixed with Liam Sharp absolutely flexing his artistic chops through several different styles in this single volume. So if you aren't a Morrison fan on more mainstream stuff like JLA or Batman maybe I'd try this on Hoopla (free app that allows local libraries to 'check out' digital books for 30 days) before buying this outright. I won't go as far as saying you won't like this because it's a massive departure from that, esp JLA, but it could be a reason why someone might come around on this one.
Grant Morrison knows continuity and he will make sure to touch up and call on some absolutely clever references that might not be apparent on the first read. This whole run begs for multiple readings, as it helps organize and get an insight into whar Morrison is attempting, which in my opinion is making this run feel like a modernized take on Silver Age weirdness...and trust me this weirdness is totally turned up by Sharps masterclass art, in the best of ways. First off GLs explore tons of sectors way outside of Earth's own sector number, so it always seemed so strange we haven't seen some truly bizarre and unique alien creatures and races on different planets and in the corp itself.
Well it's all here, and some highlights include supporting Lanterns like a piece of living Stalagmite that has some great and funny dialogue, there's a lantern with what looks like an atomic mushroom cloud for a head, and many more I'm sure I forgot.
This run pokes fun at everything happening at DC at the time - Bendis' weird Superman dialogue, the dark multiverse (called hilariously the Depressoverse), parodies of the 'dark' batmen by having 'dark' lanterns, meta commentary on constant universal reboots and cosmic fights that seem to come from universal threats that appear from nowhere...Morrison is as sharp as ever in this.
The art is straight outta mags like Heavy Metal and 2000AD, which Sharp did the latter being a European artist himself. Panel layouts, switching from 50s flat colors and elegant line work, to crosshatch heavy grungy and dingy environments outta the 80s/90s, more progressive art elements seen from European artists, he seems to possess the ability to switch back and forth without it jarring the reader.
So... I do wonder that if this wasn't Morrison, who helped build the framework for modern DC stories, then this probably wouldn't have lasted nearly as long. For people who weren't fans, this clogged up the main GL/Hal Jordan title for awhile and I can respect that, and if you are looking for a Geoff Johns style GL check out Robert Vendittis run which is probably more for that crowd,and it's good too.
