New Guardians might be the best Green Lantern title available. Its very deep in the weeds of the mythiology spawned from Johns run in Blackest Night and the multiple colored corps’. But the payoff of requiring all that knowledge is a story that is really about Kyle Rayner and what makes him different from the other Earth Lanterns. We see him take on Larfleeze here in an attempt to master all the emotional spectrum. With an interruption from the Third Army we have a new perspective on that titanic crossover. There may also be some retconning here of Rayner’s origin. In the pre-52 Rayner was recruited by Ganthet after Hal Jordan went nuts and killed all the Green Lanterns and Guardians. But here we see a newly recruited Rayner on Oa with other Guardians and Green Lanterns around. Its unclear why Ganthet is special here but I’m sure a payoff is coming. This is a great title for devotees of the Green Lantern Universe. Highly recommended.
