Hal...tryin on the Jewelry!
This issue is part Rage of the Red Lanterns, Origins & Omens, and the upcoming Blackest Night and War of Light. What a great issue written execellently by Geoff Johns and drawn beautifully by Ivan Reis! Hal Jordan, Green Lantern, is infected by the red ring and becomes a member of the Red Lanterns of rage after Sinestro kills Laira of the Red Lanterns. It is cool to see Hal struggle not to kill Sinestro while under the influence of the red and this issue’s conclusion is cool with Hal, but the back-up makes it seem that it is easily reversible. The Sinestro Corps, Red Lanterns, Blue Lanterns, and Green Lantern all battle here. The Star Sapphires also gain a new member who was a member in the past. Sinestro learns of Mongul’s taking over of the Sinestro Corps. And there is a teaser of the new Orange Lanterns coming up and it says of avarice. The emotional spectrum of light sounds complicated, but in reality it works. The Blackest Night is near and the dead will rise. Scar also forsees the future for Hal and also of Jon Stewart and Alan Scott. Check this issue out!
