    After everything that has happened

    With this issue and the preceding ones in Blackest Night and Green Lantern the story arc and company event is really on track.  This issue looks almost solely at the assault on Oa by various Lanterns, and looks at it from various angles, though mostly of the personal relationships which the Black Lanterns are reviving.  Chief among these are Kyle and Jade, and Arisia and the remainder of her family, though the short interjection of Bzzd, although appropriate was also a little heart rending.  I also really liked the show down between Salaak and the Alpha Lanterns, this in itself made this issue worthwhile.  Throughout the entirety of the crossover thus far though I have felt a little cheated by Soranik's absence, but she is back here and with a vengeance.  Overall a very entertaining issue.

      This issue was very long awaited for me, I've gotten some high off of reading the direct Blackest Night tie-ins and this was one that ended at such a point last issue that I was very excited to get this one home. And maybe long-term readers of Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps might not agree with me, this hasn't been a mind blowing story and neither has what's going on in Green Lantern. But this, to me, is good stuff. If not simply for the fact that we still don't completely understand what...
