Green Lantern Godhead, a crossover between all the Lantern publications, is over. Despite it spanned over 17 issues (15 monthly, 1 one-shot and 1 annual), and also spawned three tie-ins (Infinity Man and the Forever People #4-6), it took less than three months for the whole story to be out on the shelves.
Reading it all at once, it just made me think it was a waste of time expanding a mediocre-to-moderate story over all those issues. Then again, at least three out of five Lantern titles are bound to cross over more often than so (namely Green Lantern, Green Lantern Corps and Red Lanterns), which means many stories are going to expand this much for a while.
There were no flaws to be found in the story, but neither were any exciting moments, so I'm just going to make a pros-and-cons list for it because it took time to read it and it would be a waste of time not to.
+ Sinestro issues follow the titular character, showing he is a mastermind and a force to be reckoned with from the beginning of his own series.
- The same doesn't apply to Red Lanterns and New Guardians issues, and they are more of an expansion to the Green Lantern Corps ones.
+ Godhead took less than three months to end, leaving time for better storylines on all of the Lantern publications.
- The Black Hand's army is rendered powerless before we even catch a glimpse of their powers, and then we don't see or hear anything from the Black Hand at all.
+ Artwork was great. Pencilers and inkers gave a slight personal touch, but the general picture remained constant. This really helps in crossovers (especially if you read them all at once).
- There is a major artistic change in the midst of Green Lantern Corps 037. Not really a minus, just a contrast to the previous.
- What happened between Sinestro and Bekka after all?
