The bestVillains Take Over issue yet! This is why comic books are still printed! Highest possible recommendation! Read Full Review

This is an impressive outing for Starlin and Porter that does not quite feature any new ideas, but makes the old seem very menacing. The Green Lantern’s are not well suited to attack this character head on. The comic has everything a reader could possibly want from a Villain’s month issue. Read Full Review

Green Lantern #23.2 is a strong standalone tale that wholly encapsulates the galactic menace that is Mongul, with its spot-on dialogue and stunning art. Read Full Review

This issued screamed “Allow me to reintroduce myself, my name is Mongul” in a way that was completely badass and the execution of it all will make you realize why bad guys are the coolest dudes in school. Read Full Review

Green Lantern 23.2 is perhaps a puzzling entry for Villains Month but one that does a great job of re-establishing Mongul in his rightful place as one of the universe's most feared beings. Despite having no immediate connection to the future of the Green Lantern family of books there is plenty of history between Mongul and his progeny to the this corner of the DC universe to justify his usage here. While it's certainly not required reading for Green Lantern fans it is a satisfying tale that adds one more major level threat to the villains roster. Four out of five lanterns. Read Full Review

Overall this issue was a wonderful spotlight on Mongul his origins and how Warworld works and while it doesn't progress the story for Lights Out it is still a nice small look into the warlord Mongul. Starlin proves that he still has it when it comes to outer space warlords and it's nice to see Howard Porter drawing at full strength. Read Full Review

It's probably not worth the extra dollar for the fancy cover, so go ahead and save the buck. But definitely get this issue if you're a Green Lantern (or Superman) fan. It's also a nice way to familiarize yourself with a great villain if you've never read anything with him in it before. And, to be quite honest, it's a good way to get yourself back into the mindset of "Oh, yeah" Jim Starlin CAN still write!" instead of having your hopes crushed monthly in the pages of Stormwatch.

This was a very interesting issue.  I'm a big fan of Mongul, but I didn't sign on for Mongul to talk the entire issue about his thoughts and beliefs.  It just went on, and on, and I know we need to get reintroduced to the character, but I was just bored to tears.  But on a plus note, the book looked great Howard Porter did an excellent job, and I am really happy to get Mongul back in the mix.  So really not much to say, because unfortunately Mongul said it all.  He's probably still talking to himself.

Mongul, as drawn by artist Howard Porter, is a bit taller and leaner than the Juggernaut-esque version we've become accustomed to. He must have been put on the same diet as New 52 Amanda Waller and Lobo. Again, Mongul is all talk and no action, so aside from watching him command the destruction of a planet, you won't get to see him do much. Luckily, Porter uses creative paneling and layouts to keep the story lively and moving, which helps the pacing of this history lesson type story. Read Full Review

Interested in how Mongul runs his shit? Check out this issue. Like a really powerful villain who toys with his inferiors? Check out this issue. Want more from Forever Evil? There are other titles and places to be. Read Full Review

Overall, the Mongul issue was interesting but seemed to lack what really makes him a threat. The issue took place on Warworld but we weren't given any interesting battles and his backstory wasn't as interesting and as action packed as should be. Read Full Review
