When my job is done
This issue is full of interesting characterizations and even some deeper messages, but while it succeeds on this level it still feels like an issue which is filling the gap between two stories. Again with so much of the ensuing story lines to Blackest Night, the problem here is that there are a lot of divergent plots going on, and other than the main one featured on the cover, they seem a little more like logistical elements as opposed to relevant portions of plot. After the revelation of the previous issue that Carol is to be Queen of the Star Sapphires, there is a short discussion about it here, but it basically doesn't build on the previous issue. The Atrocitus and Sinestro moment seems more relevant, but appears as more of a vignette. This means the issue instead relies on the other main story, the kidnapping of a girl and her eventual rescue by Adara (the entity of Hope). this was handled in a way that made more sense to the overall story and combined with the decent ending this turned the issue into a decent one.
