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 [...]

Well, that’s been some big GL news today.  Following Blackest Night, with the launch of Brightest Day, there’s some cast changes afoot as a third Green Lantern ongoing is launched in the form of Emerald Warriors.
Ok, firstly, I don’t think “Emerald Warriors” is that brilliant a title, however moving on.   The franchise has clearly had [...]

Right, I really, really need to catch up with some of my blogging.
When we last left events on Oa, Guy was on the rampage as a Red Lantern, Kyle had just been resurrected, and Mogo had decided it was time to socialise.
The highlight for this issue is easily the stuff with Mogo, that neatly wraps [...]

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 [...]

War! Huh! What is it good for?  Well, a rollicking issue of GLC for a start.
Its all-out chaos on Oa.  With the Black Lantern assault in full swing, Peter Tomasi deftly jumps between the different main characters of the series, ensuring all get their chance to shine in this latest issue.   While this issue [...]

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 [...]

IGN has put up the solicits for September’s Blackest Night titles.
Interestingly the cover shown for Blackest Night #3 is the Firestorm-focused variant cover.  So it’ll be interesting to see what’s on the Ivan Reis main cover, but I’m guessing its considered spoilery (the main villain?).
Its also interesting that the Superman tie-in doesn’t mention the Earth-2 [...]
