Rarely are there awkward transitions into or out of the fables. Here is where Emerald Knights gets really interesting.While the Guardians talk of prophecy and annihilation and collapsing universes, (which as a fringe Green Lantern fan was a bit over my head), the real hook to Emerald Knights comes by way of the five short stories it weaves throughout the main framework. After a quick visit to the power battery to recharge, the Corps moves to intercept Krona. The gravity of the impending doom comes as a shock to most of the Corps, including Hal Jordanâs (Nathan Fillion) new Lantern recruit, Arisia (Elisabeth Moss). Her death alerts the Guardians of Oa, who gather the other members of the Corps to stand up against the threat of Krona while they evacuate the planet. Emerald Knights, though rated PG, starts off with a fairly brutal death of a member of the Green Lantern Corps. The five additional stories come across as fables that various Lanterns tell new recruit, Arisia, while they wait for Krona to make his move.Check out the trailer for Green Lantern: Emerald Knights here and hit the jump for my full review. The main tale revolves around the Green Lantern Corps preparing for battle against Krona, an ancient enemy of the Corpsâ progenitors, the Guardians of Oa. Emerald Knights possesses six stories all told: five tales from Green Lantern lore that are bookended by an over-arcing frame story. Not only is Emerald Knights up to the same quality as previous animated DC releases, it embraces the mythos of Green Lantern to tell far more than a mere origin story. Fans of the Green Lantern franchise who canât wait until Ryan Reynolds powers up in theaters might want to check out DCâs latest animated film, Green Lantern: Emerald Knights.
