    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, birthing rage into her and it will fuel her to go into the army to kill the enemie. Milligan shows us that rage is perpetual. I also find Atro's starting his quest with a special selection of his corps to be an interesting idea and it will give us an incite in the other corpsemen when they will fight for Atro's choice. 
     

    The Bad:

    Nothing much happens and I wished more would happen in the second issue. 
     
    The Verdict: The exploration of rage is a very interesting theme to explore in this series but nothing much happens in the issue but hopefully it will pick up. Don't buy this.

      The Good: It's not exactly the greatest thing to look at, but there's something incredibly deep about the cover. The boiling red background with the black and white figure in front. The contrast is nice. Ed Benes does a great job with some of the layouts. The most tense scenes are really heightened by the artwork, the raw emotion is felt so strongly. 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...

      One of the marvellous things about fiction is that it can transcend the boundaries of the real world and make an issue much more concise.  In terms of science fiction this can fail spectacularly as it can miss the point entirely by confusing the issues, but when it is done right, it can be an absolute gem to read.  This issue is an example of the latter.  Atrocitus is looking for a place to focus his rage and he finds one in the planet of Ghan IX.  Ghan IX is a planet where the local inhabitants...
