Red Lanterns Vol. 1: Blood and Rage (The New 52) - Peter Milligan Well, this just wasn't for me. I'm honestly baffled at how this book made the 52 cut. I neither needed nor wanted a book entirely about the Red Lanterns, and it's painfully obvious that the entire nature of the Red Lanterns, as previously established, needs to be changed from the ground up in order to make something, anything of the book. The only thing that I could dredge up any interest for were the origins of the existing Red Lanterns. Those were, for the most part, told very, very well, and it shows what a waste it is to have Milligan on this book. But it's mostly directionless and dull, and the new, human Red Lantern is so laughably designed and painfully melodramatic in origin that I just don't care. Maybe Milligan will eventually be able to beat this book into something worthwhile, but it will be in spite of what he's been dealt, not because of it.
