There are just too many Green Lantern titles, this one ends with this volume and it was one of the weaker titles so I'm okay with that. Still not bad and most of this volume was part of the Godhead event, so they just had a small arc and then ended it with a victory that could lead into more adventures fighting the same bad guys.

Seems like a fine adaptation of a book I haven’t read. The artwork is quite good, especially how it paces out Bond’s mental processes, though it leans a little heavy on photo references at times. If you weren’t aware, apparently Bond looks like Michael Fassbender!

In this dystopian comic thriller, planet earth is burning up but the rich and powerful have a plan to save humankind. When society fell apart, a select group of billionaires had an escape hatch: a rocket aimed at the nearest habitable planet, a ship equipped with many of the luxuries of life on Earth—why survive if you can’t survive in style? Their every need is tended to by teenagers who are willing to act as slaves in return for the promise of a new life. This is a good story. But, like so many stories, it is not true. Inside a great, sealed survival chamber, one slave, a teenage girl named Persephone, discovers that the promised future of comfort is a myth. And with that knowledge, she must fight for her survival against the billionaires, who would gladly kill her to protect the hidden truth.

Arca is an entertaining story with a fast pace and plenty of twists. Our heroine Effie, nickname of Persephone, has three months left serving the rich inhabitants of Arca before graduating to a Citizen when she turns 18. As a Citizen, she will be served instead of serving. She begins training her replacement but begins to wonder why she has never seen on the ship any Settlers who have graduated. Effie knows she can't ask too many questions to her superiors but discusses the issue with her Settler friends. They have been told that the spaceship is heading for Eden and that it has been flying in space for several decades. Effie finds proof that the spaceship has been traveling for 157 years and secretly starts looking for where these graduated Settlers are living on the ship. She is constantly being monitored and this makes her quest dangerous. Effie would be severely punished, maybe killed, for her efforts to find the answers to her questions.

Arca is a page turner and even though it is a graphic novel, I recommend it for all readers. It has an extensive plot that many will enjoy.

As an adaption, I'd say this is quite good. Calero's art captures the atmosphere of a gritty spy world wonderfully, and Jensen's adaption of Fleming's novel is concise while still keeping Fleming's prose. As for the original story, "not my thing" is probably the best I can say about it. Bond is extremely sexist, even when he claims to love Vesper. The book is also littered with racist terms that aren't used anymore (at least, not used by anymore by people who don't want to use racist terms).
