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 [...]

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 [...]

So, when we last (ie the preview) left things, Guy and Soranik were struggling with Kyle’s death and to bring him back, only for Guy to fall victim to Vice’s red ring.
Its interesting that Red Lantern Guy then completely full fills Kyle’s plan from last issue.  Guy appears to maintain more control than any Red Lantern we’ve [...]

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 [...]

Since the two are closely linked, I’ll start by covering Green Lantern #48 which finishes filling in the story of how the Corps leaders get together, as Atrocitus and Larfleeze are saved from the Black Lanterns on Okaraa by the timely arrival of Hal, Sinestro, Carol, Indigo-1 and Saint Walker (with Ganthet and Sayd along [...]

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 [...]

Green Lantern #45 is a heckuva busy issue.  With last month’s Green Lantern #44 Geoff Johns was busy kick-starting Blackest Night by focusing on the Hal/Barry fight with the Black Lantern J’onn.   With Blackest Night now in full swing, he turns his attention back to the war of light, revisiting the various plot threads [...]

After two years of buildup, Blackest Night has finally arrived.
As Ganthet predicted during the Sinestro Corps War, the other Corps have risen and the War of Light is now in full swing, with the Alpha Lanterns attacking the Red Lanterns on Ysmault, Ganthet’s own Blue Lanterns under seige from Larfleeze and the Orange Lanterns, and [...]

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 [...]

IGN have put up the solicits for the first month (July) of Blackest Night, and its looking very, very good.
A very interesting aspect to these solicits its the two issues of GL in July. Hopefully this is a sign of Doug Mahnke having had a headstart on the art duties, and we know from [...]
