4.0

Atrocious, the protagonist of the narrative discusses his battle with yellow lanterns, whose blood and rage fuel him to form his own group (Red Lanterns), made up of those who have lost loved ones to yellow lantern battles. As well as the red lantern (Jack Moore), who reflects on his own sufferings, past and present, a new wind appears in his sails.

As a Lantern Corp fan, I appreciated how well the author was able to portray the diversity of his characters' backgrounds and gave them a greater part of the plot which explored the question of why the Red Lanterns exist and possess their own ground within this universe. Including a female POV character and the rich diversity of other characters in the Lantern, the universe is a perfect way to introduce readers to the Lantern universe.



Final Verdict: In conclusion, I would like to say that The Art of Ed Benes is absolutely fantastic right from the get-go, the splash pages between atrocious, and Bleez is drawn in such a professional manner and with so much detail. Peter Milligan has undertaken an excellent task in describing the origins of each and every character in relation to the formation of the red lanterns. In the meantime, I look forward to reading the next volume.
