THE DISPATCH
There’s something quietly unsettling about this series—enough to make me lean forward in my seat as I crack open the sixth issue. The premise for this one feels like the kind of tightrope walk Al Ewing excels at, drawing us deeper into a cosmic horror nightmare wrapped in Green Lantern iconography.
If you’re familiar with the earlier issues, you know the creative team is playing a long game. Issue 5, in particular, rewarded both the patient and the curious: many critics praised how the story was finally starting to sprint after a slow simmer. Conversely, some readers noted that the narrative ambiguity felt frustratingly impenetrable
However, as some have stated, this book lives in the space between revelation and enigma. But is the series finally going somewhere?
Well, Absolute Green Lantern #6 promises to be the reckoning moment. The judgment between Jo and Hal—a peer, cosmic, and psychological tribunal—beckons a clash both thematic and elemental. Jahnoy Lindsay’s art has always been a lynchpin in the series. The contrast between Jo’s flickering green aura and Hal’s encasement in solid, oppressive black highlighted the emotional and cosmic stakes beautifully. The layout choices heighten the tension and skewed perspectives to give the art more breathing room.
The coloring here is practically a character in itself. Jo’s green radiance versus Hal’s inky doom is stunning with the issue leaning even harder into that contrast. The palette shifts into more muted or acid tones as the cosmic verdict echoes through the environment. Moreover, Absolute Green Lantern #6 break free of its slow-burn heritage and intensifies with some major, dread soaked pages. The pacing felt urgent but never hasty. Plus, Ewing’s words weren’t just spoken; they were hints and riddles that resonated with the unknown.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Absolute Green Lantern #6 feels poised to be the moment when rumors become ruin—when judgment is not only declared but felt. Coming off a strongly divisive but compelling issue 5, this one lives up to its eerie, rhetorical prompt and delivers something indelible. Whether you’ve been tracking the series for its slow, atmospheric world-building or dropped in just now for the cosmic horror punch, this issue is where the series’ ambitions coalesce—or crack wide open.
