With the Black Lanterns on Oa dealt with by Mogo, and the GLC due to make the leap to Earth in time for Blackest Night #7, its no surprise that the focus of this issue is dealing with Guy’s red ring infection.
And again, its ultimately Mogo that comes to the rescue, as he forces Guy [...]

Its been a while since I was motivated to throw up a quick post just talking about an issue preview.  Largely its due to making writing the post once the full issue is out a bit trickier.  However I loved IGN’s preview for GLC #43 so much I just had to say something.
Guy turning to [...]

I really thought this issue was going to be tough to review.   Fortunately, having been spoiled to the big event yesterday, I had a day to process it in advance, which let me digest the issue without giving into fanboy rage.
So to get right to the main talking point of the issue.  Kyle dies.
As [...]

Continuing on from the events of last month, the Blackest Night has erupted across Oa, with the Lanterns in the Crypts being raised as Black Lanterns, and Black Lantern Jade having arrived to target Kyle.
This was a brilliant issue.  Possibly my favourite Blackest Night issue so far.   Unlike a lot of the other issues [...]

Ahead of the return of Blackest Night next week comes the return of actual comics discussion on this blog ( )with the previews for Green Lantern Corps #39 and Blackest Night: Batman #1 from IGN.
As usual, it looks like the GLC title is firing on all cylanders.  Peter Tomasi, in a similar way [...]

This issue brings to a close Emerald Eclipse, and leads us straight into the events of Blackest Night (again, I’m left wonder when exactly Final Crisis happened in the current GL timeline).
As seen in the preview, the issue is largely interested in the fallout from the riot on Oa.  This probably leads to the main [...]

Annoyingly my ISP decided to not like my domain this weekend.  Makes blogging a bit tricky…
Picking up from where the preview left off, we get another page of Saarek and Ash discussing their situation in the Anti-Monitor’s empty boot.  There was something about that visual of them hiding out in it that made me chuckle. [...]

While overshadowed slightly by this week’s cracking issue of Captain Britain, its none the less another cracking part of Emerald Eclipse in Green Lantern Corps this month.
Picking up with last month’s revelation, we get the backstory to Sinestro and Soranik’s relationship, as Sinestro reveals how Soranik’s mother had been forced to hide her away from [...]

Yup, its yet another cracking issue of Green Lantern Corps by Peter Tomasi and Patrick Gleason. Are people getting bored reading me constantly gushing over this title?
Picking up on events from last issue, Red Lantern Vice is tearing through the Sciencells, much to the delight of the Sinestro Corps as Green Lantern Voz gets [...]
