The Good
Action- action junkies start your engines things ramp up real fast in this issue and I’m sure it will be a welcome change from the hero quest storyline where our hero was in no real danger.
Art- fitting is the best word to describe the art it is really “Kyle’s style” as it really captures the essence of who he is and what he does.
Threat- In this issue we get a villain who has been building for quite some time and when he finally makes his debut you can’t help but worry for everyone involved. His design is regal and majestic and awe inspiringly scary all at once.
Story- the threat has reared its head and it’s presented much in the same way that Parallax/Hal was during emerald twilight. This is the threat that has come to destroy the successors of the green lantern corp, the darkstars face a threat that they can’t
possibly defeat and man is it glorious to watch unfold. Kyle and Donna also get some great panel time to rehash and start working towards the inevitable reconciliation. All in all a very solid read.
The Bad
Some of the better action scenes took place off panel :(
The Ugly
3.5/5 stars great read
