Art: Doug Mahnke
Johns is slowly revealing each of the seven colors' entities per issue. Last issue, it was Ophidian taking over Hector Hammond, this time it's the Predator, though the Predator is already known.
The focus of this issue is more on Carol Ferris than Jordan and Larfleeze. It picks up where the last issue ended - Ophidian. After a little battle with the two, Ophidian-Hector runs away and goes for Carol in Las Vegas, where Jordan and Larfleeze follow suit.
The Queen of the Zamarons inform the other Zamarons that their main battery is weakening and they need to find the Predator to have a new permanent power source. The Queen tells Carol Ferris that the Predator is in Las Vegas.
We are introduced to a man named Abraham Pointe who is obsessing over a woman in a casino. The Predator visits him and takes control over him. Hal and Larfleeze arrive in Las Vegas and shortly after, the Predator. Although Ophidian-Hector said he would go for Carol, he's missing from the rest of the issue. I guess Johns wanted to focus more on the Predator from here on out.
Eventually, Carol Ferris kisses the Predator to free Abraham from the entity. Hal gets jealous and they all go back to Zamaron.
Doug Mahnke's art is still great as ever. For me, he's the best artist in the Green Lantern books. His details with the Predator being crystalized shows his great talent. On the other hand, I think my eyes hurt from all the purple in this issue. But that's not the artist's fault.
"Green Lantern" #57 didn't do anything much except established the little plot point at the end of the issue. This issue is more of a re-introduction of the Predator back into the books, with Larfleeze for comedic purposes. Overall, it's still a good read.
Rating: 3.5/5
