The first six pages of this issue really got me excited. Hector Hammond is in a cell fantasizing about being Hal. His "mental masterbation" is interrupted by a mysterious figure from Green Lantern past. In this sequence we get some great dialogue by this "new" bad guy who is not revealed. That is the best part of this issue.
The rest is just a setup for Brightest Day. Hal and Carrol flirting, Sinestro cock blocking Hal, Larfleeze hangingout with Lex, and Guy making a secret deal with the Red Lanterns. Oh yeah, the White Lantern is asking for pretty boy Hal Jordan. What else is new?
Geoff Johns does a good job of giving you a taste and wetting your beak a little. But aside from the first six pages, the rest is an ad for the Brightest Day event. As far as art, this is Doug Mahnke's best work. It's awesome.

There was a decent amount of Lantern-Centric stuff wasn’t there?
Yes, you’re right. What I meant to say was that it was an ad/cock-tease for future Lantern related books. Also Brightest Day is Lantern-centric, but I was mainly concerned with having an action filled issue.
Agree with your review about the story. I was a bit disappionted with this issue as it was mostly set-up. It would have made a nice one-shot as opposed to issue in the main title. I didn’t care much for the art as I thought the coloring and inking were not that great, which is no surprise considering there were 4 different inkers on the book.
I think Hammond was interrupted by Parallax.
@NathanNicdao – I think it was the "mysterios figure" who interrupted him because it looked like Parallax was chained to the "yellow lantern" emblem. It appears that this mysterios figure traps the entities and the first one it aquired was the parallax.
@AmirCat: oh. OK. Thanks, buddy.
