This has to be one of the worst examples of a Green Lantern comic book that I have seen in some time. In terms of both writing and the art. The art wasn't bad in terms of quality, but it was more like a collection of posters than an attempt to tell a visual story. Through large parts of the book I had no idea where anyone was in relation to each other. In one panel Kilowog is on the ground, covered in blood, looking seriously hurt and two panels later he is back up and not only looking perfectly healthy but he has apparently has had time to shower and repair his uniform.
And in terms of story, where is the creativity? Seriously! They are Green Lanterns! They have the most powerful weapon in the universe because they can make anything they can imagine but all anybody in this story could make was a gun or some variation of hand-held weapon. Its even true on the cover. Seriously, through the whole book, all anybody is doing with their rings is making guns, knives or in one case, putting a fist through someone's mouth At one point they are going up against a giant black-lantern energy demon construct and Vath says out loud, "cut it's freaking hands off!" while he is shooting two pistols at it. Kilowog responds he is trying to cut off the other hand while shooting small energy blasts out of his ring. None of these experienced Green Lanterns thinks of making a giant axe, let alone a few giant constructs to fight the demon-thing or stomp on some black lanterns? All anyone can seem to do is either use their ring as a gun, shooting energy blasts, or to make a gun or knife. The most creative use of a power ring may have been Guy Gardner fighting with a chain and ball.
Even the "artist" Kyle Rayner, his only ideas are to release a red lantern and to do a suicide bombing with his power battery.
Yes, you read that right.
A freaking suicide bombing with his freaking power battery.
Why does he even have a ring?
Who is this guy anyway? He doesn't act like Kyle Raynor.
Because of that when he "dies" at the end of the book it leeches a lot of the emotional energy out of the whole scene.
In all honesty, I always liked Kyle Raynor. In my opinion it always made more sense to give an imagination based weapon to an artist than a test pilot. When he is written well, Kyle Raynor is an interesting Green Lantern. When he is written poorly, I really don't mind so much seeing him killed off so it loses a lot of its punch.
