Decidí leerlo para celebrar que Alan, Simon y Jessica serán parte de la serie de Green Lantern en HBO Max y me gustó. Las historias son cortas pero todas logran captura la esencia de los personajes. Mis favoritas fueron las de Alan Scott (

I know very little of this characters beforehand, but the stories were okay and I did not dislike any of them.
My fav were: "Voices" (written by Mariko Tamaki, art by Mirka Andolfo), "Homegrown Hero" (writen by Sina Grace)
I also liked "Four" (written by Robert Venditti).

I'm a sucker for these anniversary sets, though I have to admit this was not nearly as good as the one they put out for Robin last year. For starters, Alan Scott, who is actually the character celebrating 80 years, gets very little to do. He has the lead story, but we only see him in costume for one panel. The rest of the stories are relatively forgettable, though I did love the Denny O'Neill/Mike Grell Green Lantern/Green Arrow story. It felt and looked just right. I also really enjoyed the various splash pages and covers from artists across Lantern history. All in all, a fun, nostalgic romp.

We covered Green Lantern's 80th over on the All the Books Show as well.

Out of all the anniversary comics so far this is the only one that has even come close to living up to what I expected it to be. It's the perfect mix of heartwarming hilarity, adventure, comedy and hard-hitting moments that you've come to expect from the Lanterns. It's very much a team affair with no one stealing the show just because they've been around the longest. Definetely a must a read.
