Green Lantern: Emerald Knights (2011) ReviewThere are all sorts of weird, wonderful creatures in the Green Lantern Corps, from the humanlike to the outright bizarre. And "Green Lantern: Emerald Knights" is a solid attempt to flesh out a few of those Green Lanterns -- it gives us a bunch of smaller stories that make us know and like the characters wrapped up in a tense, action-packed framework story.
The evil Krona and his antimatter demons have opened a portal in Oa's sun, and is probably going to destroy the Guardians' world. While the Green Lanterns prepare for battle, Hal Jordan chitchats with a rookie named Arisia Rrab about the history of the Green Lantern Corps, and the people she will be fighting alongside.
First he tells her about the first Green Lantern, a timid scribe named Avra who was one of the first four chosen by the Green rings. Sent into his first battle, Avra's selfless determination helps him unlock the power of his ring.
And then we're treated to the story of Kilowog, who was trained by the abrasive, hard-nosed Sgt. Deegan on many dangerous planets. But when Deegan and his rookies are called on to save a nearby planet, Kilowog discovers Deegan's true nature. And then we have Laira, the princess of a proud, aggressive planet, who must return home to fight her father's mistress, her brother, and finally the father she loves dearly.
After that, there's the story of how Sinestro and Abin Sur captured a criminal who claims to be on speaking terms with destiny -- and he attempts to warn Abin Sur of his friend's future treachery. And finally, "Mogo Doesn't Socialize" tells of a warrior who is determined to be the strongest in the universe, and hears that the Green Lantern Mogo is the most powerful ever. But when he lands on Mogo's planet, he finds that not all is as it seems.
"Green Lantern: Emerald Knights" is a solid accompaniment to "Green Lantern: First Flight" -- for people (like myself) who haven't yet read the comic books, it gives some insights into characters like Kilowog, Mogo, Sinestro and the late Abin Sur. And while all the Green Lanterns spotlighted here are the best-hearted and strongest, it also shows that they have had their own struggles in the past.
Each of the stories is pretty self-contained and brief, but the writers do a good job of making you like the main characters. Well, Mogo is a little hard to warm up to, as awesome as he is, but the others become very "real" with only a short time to see them.
It also has a decent framing story, with a huge threat to the whole galaxy that apparently has popped up in only a few hours with little warning. But the final battle is a pretty awesome affair, with entire PLANETS being moved and a giant cartoon villain rising from the surface of the sun. The only problem with it is that there's a lack of tension, since apparently everybody is just hanging around listening to Hal Jordan talk himself hoarse.
"Green Lantern: Emerald Knights" is a good introduction to the Green Lanterns who AREN'T from Earth, especially if you're not a huge comic nerd. Also: Mogo rocks.Green Lantern: Emerald Knights (2011) Overview
