A battle beyond the stars didn't end quite as imagined. Legendary cosmic guardian and former Green Lantern Hal Jordan has unknowingly left a horrific legacy to the future. When Hal vowed to respect all life, he probably wasn't thinking of the nasty, acid-dripping, murdering Aliens -- and because he spared these vile creatures, he doomed the lives of countless others years later. Now it's up to current GL Kyle Rayner and the remnants of the defunct Green Lantern Corp. to clean up the mess made by his predecessor. But Kyle is still struggling with the mantle of Green Lantern that he's inherited. Further, he's struggling with the definition of heroism in a day and age when Hal's nobility is all too rare. What Kyle's about to experience in the darkest regions of space will change him forever...if it doesn't kill him first. Collects the four-issue mini-series. Co-published with DC Comics.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
Florida-based writer Ron Marz began his writing career as a journalist but traded in his press badge for comic-book writing in 1990 when he determined that it was more fun to make up stories than report them. In the last eleven years, Marz has written extensively for publishers including DC, Marvel, Cross Gen, Image, Acclaim, and Dark Horse. He is notorious among fans of the DC Universe for co-creating the new Green Lantern, Kyle Rayner, who battles against the acid-blooded Aliens of sci-fi film lore in the hit cross-over graphic novel adventure, Green Lantern vs. Aliens, co-published by Dark Horse and DC Comics. Marz' other comics credits include work on Silver Surfer, Superboy, Manowar, DC vs. Marvel, and Dark Horse's Star Wars Tales and Star Wars: Darth Maul.

A neatly told slugfest....,
By
This review is from: Green Lantern / Aliens (Paperback)
With a title like Green Lantern Versus Aliens, you should be expecting a slobberknocker battle, and that's pretty much all you get...After an opening chapter that sees former Green Lantern Hal Jordan, along with a squad of other Lanterns, battle the marauding Aliens, we move on to the real story: Rather than kill the Aliens, Jordan and company deposited them on an uninhabited planet. 10 years later, a ship crashes on that World, and a group of former Lanterns enlist the NEW Green Lantern, Kyle Rayner, to help them save the crew. After all, the Aliens wouldn't be there, if not for the GL Corps.... Well, that's the plot.....how's the action, you ask? Well, Ron Marz and Rick Leonardi tell a brisk, fast-paced story; we have to accept the "Green Lantern loses his Ring" contrivance, but without that, there would be no story, right? The opening chapter is a nice stroll down memory lane, and it was GREAT to see my favorite GL, Kilowog, in action again. While Green Lantern Versus Aliens doesn't offer much in the way of originality, it is a well-told story, and a good solid beat-em-up. You could certainly do worse.

Green and Powerful vs big and bad,
By Shaun O'Donnell "Shaun O'Donnell" (Fort Worth, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Green Lantern / Aliens (Paperback)
This is one of those crossovers that are fun to read but not the best. It starts off with the Green Lantern Hal Jordon assissting the other Green Lanterns in a search foir one of their kind murdered, only to encounter the Aliens. However they choose not to kill this intergallactic monster and instead leve it on an uninhabited planet. Flash forward ten years later and with core gone and only one lantern left, it's up to the new Lantern to take out what the former would not do.Actually his orgional goal is that of a rescue mission, but in the end it's survival of the fittest in an amazing aray of power, used to the fullest extent. This might be one for fans, but is fun to read if given a chance. Check it out.
