    Rage is not without reason

    The good:  
    This issue is a great example of how amazingly Bernes, Milligan, and Hunter really outdid themselves setting up a great exposition for DC's Red Lanterns, and laying the foundation of what seems like a wonderful character development for Atrocitus. Taking on the task of bringing depth to characters who were only known for their rage isn't an easy task, and considering this is only the second issue I must say, so far the whole team behind Red Laterns are doing a good job.  This issue is without question a must read.

    The bad:  
    There wasn't anything I didn't like in this issue, but some might find the cover to be not "intriguing" enough. To those people I say, at first I too wasn't big fan of the cover, but after reading the story I began to like the cover and I could understand the reason behind it, let's just say justice is indeed colorblind. 

    The Verdict
      
     From the art to the story, and from cover to cover, this is a wonderful issue and because of that I give it 5 out of 5 stars.

The slight hesitation incepted in Atrocitus from this moment among surely many others is a great demonstration of the thin line between hero and vi...

      Review for Red Lanterns #2.   The Story: On a war torn planet, two pilots acidentally kill children and Atro decides to deal justice and back on Ysmault he decides to raise the intelligence of one of his soldiers in order to help him in his crusade.   The Good: In this issue Milligan does a job at exploring how easy rage can be born in people, especially from pointless combat. Here we have soldiers thinking they have killed enemy soldiers but in reality killed kids in front of their sisters, bir...
