Congratulations to Jeremy Adams, Xermanico, and the rest of the cosmic creative team on reaching this milestone issue! Not only issue #25 for this current series, it’s also Legacy #592, so issue #600 is coming in hot. It’s been a wild, emotional ride so far, equal parts entertaining, heartfelt, and mythos-expanding, as this run fully embraces the Green Lantern legacy across all media while boldly adding its light to the spectrum. With this issue, we dive deeper into the fallout of the Emotional Spectrum’s recent rupture. Starbreaker steps up with his Children of the Fractured Spectrum, ready to claim power before the Lanterns can, and yes, things are about to get colorful.

While I’ve enjoyed the Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps titles, the “Fractured Spectrum” arc has functioned like an extended, high-stakes bridge, leading us straight into this collision course. But it’s been worth the build. Along the way, we’ve met new “Emotional Lanterns” like Aidia, who channels Disgust, and “Happy,” who is exactly that. Watching both sides race to collect key pieces across the Lantern books has been fun, and now, with everything coming to a head, Jeremy Adams wastes no time in accelerating the pace. Both sides are charging toward the ultimate goal: lighting up their respective Power Batteries. And of course, Guy Gardner, ever the realist, grounds the moment with a perfect one-liner: “This is going to bite us in the butt.”
This issue takes us to Gemworld, a fantastic deep-cut location from the wider DCU, where both factions throw down for the next phase of their mission. What’s refreshing is that each group’s goals feel urgent and genuine; it’s not just a race to stop the other. It’s a shared desperation to restore their version of what should be. Adams’ “All In” approach is in full swing, pulling in threads from Gemworld, Blue Beetle, and even Green Lantern: The Animated Series. Yes, there’s a brilliant bit of humor about the animated ship flying backwards. Accident or inside joke? You decide.

Xermanico and Romulo Fajardo Jr. deliver art that illuminates in every sense of the word; their work crackles with energy, from the emotional charge of the characters to the stunning environments. Guy Gardner brings the sardonic edge, the Starbreakers bring the menace, and when Henry shows up? The stakes crank up hard. It’s the kind of scale and spectacle that reminds you why this run is so consistently strong.
With its glowing visuals and a script that fuses heart, humor, and high-octane action, Green Lantern #25 is a thrilling payoff to the buildup and a promising setup for what’s to come. The Emotional Spectrum is shifting in unexpected ways, and the GLC will need every ounce of willpower to survive what’s to come, both from within and outwardly. Let’s hope they don’t end up feeling nothing at all when the dust settles.

Green Lantern #25 opens the Starbreaker Supremacy wonderfully by blending legacy, humor, and deep cuts from the DC Universe with strong emotional stakes. Jeremy Adams continues to expand the mythos by weaving in characters from animation, forgotten corners of the universe, like Gemworld, and bold new “Emotional Lanterns” with unique perspectives. With the Lantern Corps and Starbreaker’s forces hurtling toward an epic confrontation, the issue sets the stage for major developments leading into Legacy issue #600. It’s a visually stunning, emotionally resonant chapter that reminds readers just how vast and personal the Green Lantern franchise can be.
