    The First Lantern

    Good:The whole idea of the Guardians being the bad guys in the New 52 is quite interesting and everything looks fine for now.It is cool to see how those little guys that have always been good now turn out bad and want every lantern to die and even charge up Black Hand to help him kill easier Sinestro and Hal.I love how in the end Hal turns out to work together with Sinestro to defeat Black Hand who is a great villain and Johns has made him even cooler.I dig Sciver's work in her which doesn't happen often and also Pete Woods'.And I can't wait to see the whole thing.

    Bad:I can't see many bad things in this first annual but I am unahpy of the fact that we don't see Kyle Rayner,Guy Gardner or John Stewart in this.

    Overall:This annual perfectly explains to us what should we expect from The Third Army arc and it looks great and I can't wait to see what will happen next.

We then see Hal Jordan reflect o...

      THE GOOD: Ethan Van Sciver does a great job at filling the whole issue with his detailed and interesting art.

The guardians are losing it and they are setting out to create a Third Army. This issue was really good at setting up the crossover event that will be coming soon. It also, does a very good job at ending a story that...
