Summary: Another DC/Dark Horse do not mix book.....
Comment: The way the Aliens are written in every one of these books, it makes them as odd foes for DC heroes like Superman,Batman, and in the case of Green Lantern it still does not work as these ideas were created for different reasons. It makes more sense for Green Lantern to meet the Silver Surfer, but not these acid monsters. Again Rom Marz does not do a great story here. It's just a contrived plot to do a crossover story and that's it. Regretfully it has been stories like these which have caused crossover stories to become very cliche now, where as at one time they did much better stories with them. What's next, Aliens vs Godzilla?

Summary: Green and Powerful vs big and bad
Comment: This is one of those crossovers that are fun to read but not the best. It starts off with the Green Lantern Hal Jordon assissting the other Green Lanterns in a search foir one of their kind murdered, only to encounter the Aliens. However they choose not to kill this intergallactic monster and instead leve it on an uninhabited planet. Flash forward ten years later and with core gone and only one lantern left, it's up to the new Lantern to take out what the former would not do.
Actually his orgional goal is that of a rescue mission, but in the end it's survival of the fittest in an amazing aray of power, used to the fullest extent.
This might be one for fans, but is fun to read if given a chance. Check it out.

Summary: A neatly told slugfest....
Comment: With a title like Green Lantern Versus Aliens, you should be expecting a slobberknocker battle, and that's pretty much all you get...
After an opening chapter that sees former Green Lantern Hal Jordan, along with a squad of other Lanterns, battle the marauding Aliens, we move on to the real story: Rather than kill the Aliens, Jordan and company deposited them on an uninhabited planet. 10 years later, a ship crashes on that World, and a group of former Lanterns enlist the NEW Green Lantern, Kyle Rayner, to help them save the crew. After all, the Aliens wouldn't be there, if not for the GL Corps....
Well, that's the plot.....how's the action, you ask? Well, Ron Marz and Rick Leonardi tell a brisk, fast-paced story; we have to accept the "Green Lantern loses his Ring" contrivance, but without that, there would be no story, right?
The opening chapter is a nice stroll down memory lane, and it was GREAT to see my favorite GL, Kilowog, in action again. While Green Lantern Versus Aliens doesn't offer much in the way of originality, it is a well-told story, and a good solid beat-em-up. You could certainly do worse.
