    Last issue was pretty terrible. Giving it one more shot. I need a reason to buy issue 3 other than the cover.

    I don’t get all the hate. It is what it is. I liked it.

    I guess this book just inspires rage.

    That cover sucks and they’re gonna have to work hard to sell this Arrocitus anti-hero turn

    It’s Punisher with a cosmic power ring and there’s nothing wrong with that

    I think I enjoyed this. The idea of a Red Lanterns comic was always bizarre to me but Milligan is making it interesting enough that I want to keep reading. The main character has an army of people and creatures turned mindless blood vomiting monsters. Now he’s had an epiphany and will raise the consciousness of one of them. I can’t look away.

    That was also a very sharp parallel to current and actual wars in this issue. I’m often skeptical of that kind of thing but I liked how Milligan handled it.

    This issue really stepped it up another level for this title; very powerful feelings for the big man and who really out of his group is he really going to educate? I see trouble ahead for this no matter which one he chooses, they all seem ready to form a coo. That is if any of them had the brains for it; look out A-tros!!

    Just sayin’,

      I like to see him pic Skallox just because I love that design of alien with a skull cow head but it’s probably Bleez because she part of the whole Green Lanterns Gaurdian series.

    Every issue of this series convinces me further that this slot could have been used for a better title. I’d have much preferred a Yellow book starring Sinestro forever, instead of his apparently temporary stint as a Green again. It’s not necessarily awful, but I dislike the characters themselves. I will admit, though, the oozing rageohol makes me lol every time.

    I think this is one of the most underrated books. I love the premise of this book. If anybody were to make it work its peter milligan,.

    Annnnnnnd dropped.

    I like both Milligan and Benes, but this hasn’t grabbed me. Maybe I’m at a point in my life where I just don’t need any more rage. Certainly not from a monthly comic book.

    OK, this was boring. It might be the first N52 book I drop. It’s not horrible, but I’m not compelled to read it or anything. My life would be OK without it. Not sure yet. I’ll keep an eye on it if I do drop, in case it has a good arc or more Rage Kitty.

    I like this book. I like the direction they are taking In a Spectre like way. I think this book is actually a surprise hit for me after 2 book. I’m looking forward to the next issue.
