This series has been a lot of fun since the prelude into Blackest Night. Tomasi and Gleason has provided almost a perfect issue each month and it comtinues to be an exciting read. Sometimes I still wonder if this has surpassed the regular Green Lantern book. Anyways, the resolution of the Red Lantern Guy Gardner is here. Will he continue to be a raging beast? Or become the irritable Green Lantern we all love?

Well with the news for the future GL books, it is kinda spoiled already with the resolution. But that doesn’t mean we can’t have a fun time figuring out how to solve Gardner’s problem. Mogo continues to be the biggest (literally and figuratively) badass in the DCU. Although his participation isn’t as amazing as it was last issue, it still is a lot of fun to remember that Mogo is just as a character as anyone else. Probably the best sequence out of this book came from when Gardner had to face his life both from a rage and will perspective. We learn about Guy, or at least get reminded that he is just as vulnerable as a character as anyone else. Also….glad to see ‘The Punch’ in one of the constructs.

Gleason continues, probably, the most consecutive issues of brilliant work. I can’t remember a time when he actually gave us an ‘off’ issue….probably almost a year ago at this point. You do get the usual Gleason layouts, the brilliant two page spreads, and almost spot on characters. Kyle still looks a bit too much like Keanu Reeves but….what can ya do?

So now we are at the end of the ‘Seige’ (ha) of Oa and now….the Corps is going to get involved with bringing down Nekron. If this issues have been perfect almost every issue being outside of the conflict, I cannot wait to see how Tomasi/Gleason brings all of Geoff Johns ideas into their own viewpoint. Great issue as always.

Story: 4 - Very Good
