Murder, Arson, and Jaywalking.
The Good: As opposed to last issue, which had one singular focus, this issue has SO MUCH GOING ON. We actually get a feel for how big the Entity Hunt is. Instead of just going by one at a time, everything's in motion. We know where almost every entity is and all of the issues involved in obtaining them. There's even character development on every front here.
Atrocious is really getting some nice development living here on earth. His rapport with Sinestro is really neat.
Carol's finally standing up to Hal. She honestly knows what she's doing this time and Hal is actually completely owned by her.
We get to see what Adara is like.
Larfleez is still absolutely hilarious, but he also gets some really serious character development here on more than one front. When he got pissed off you could see the truly deep down madness in his face, and watching him have to fight like a normal lantern was an interesting change of pace; PLUS he even poses a difficult moral query to Hal.
We get a look at things back on Oa and how they're seeing Hal.
Adara and how it interacts with its host Nicole is really intriguing. She seems to have more control over her Entity than anyone has. Her personality reamins seemingly unchanged, she just has this instinctive knowledge of her newfound powers.
Next time Hal's going to have to answer for his recent alignments.
The Bad: I feel like The Entity's are finding hosts way too fast, it's just a bit too convenient. Although, Predator seems to be separated from his one host permanently now, and was supposedly naive about how to even choose one; and Adara's host does seem honestly incredibly perfect for it.
In Conclusion: 5/5
This issue turned around the slowing and narrowing pace of The Entity Hunt into something fantastically interesting. We got to see SO MANY sides of this story in this issue and it adressed pretty much every single one of my previous concerns or minor gripes with this story. The whole idea is just phenomenal to me and I just absolutely love this arc.
