Green Lanterns Vol. 7: Superhuman Trafficking by Tim Seeley
3.0
I am rating this 3 star purely based on the annual story , coz the whole superhuman trafficking story arc was boring as hell .
The whole trafficking storyline started with a superhero dating app , which was fun idea , and followed up with so many things that I kept losing focus , add to that Seeley keeps writing all those philosophical diatribe , about religion , politics and people searching for their place in life . Meh , it's irritating to say the least .
Honestly at one point I even stopped reading the dialogues , also they are still playing the "Jessica is scared of gathering" schtick when clearly the character has moved leaps and bounds ahead of those problems .
In fact I take issue with portrayal of Jessica . There was absolutely no need for creating a romantic angle for her , especially with Simon , and I'd even bite it if it was done right , the story suggests she falls for him simply because of an dating app . Ugh .
The annual story was actually decent , with the whole lost lantern bit and how people shouldn't be judgemental and stuff , but it wasn't so good as to make me want to rate it any higher than a 3 star .
Oh and the whole issue art was nothing spectacular , it was decent in most panels but I felt the expressions of the characters didn't match well to the story or the dialogue being delivered
