Jeremy Adams finishes out one DC era and starts another with the DC All In Green Lantern Vol. 4: Civil Corps. Three Green Lantern issues bookended between two specials is not a “crossover” per se, but Phillip Kennedy Johnson’s brief writing assist foreshadows characters and situations from Johnson’s Green Lantern: War Journal making their way into Green Lantern’s conflict. It is well done, as Adams' Green Lantern has been of late, a fine superhero sci-fi opera that’s not nearly as continuity heavy as Green Lantern events can sometimes be, and the ending left me eager to see what comes next.

I had hoped the “Civil Corps” moniker would be more than just a pun; I wondered previously if it indicated some Green Lantern corps charged not with peacekeeping but with providing aid — the drama of Green Lanterns who clean up after disasters or fix infrastructure on alien planets. None of that is here, and by the end of the book we don’t have a concrete charge for the revitalized Green Lantern Corps — it remains to be seen what Green Lantern or the new Green Lantern Corps titles will be about — so it’s unclear what if anything might have changed aside from our Corps having defeated the rogue United Planets Corps.
