    Review: Emerald Warriors #3

    While Guy struggles to keep the Red Lantern residue repressed, Sodam Yat awakens on Daxam to find an entire cult's formed to worship him.
     

    The Good

    I can't tell you how glad I am to see Sodam Yat back in the fold. He was my favorite character in Green Lantern Corps and I was really disappointed when he sat on Blackest Night. Now that he's back, I think it's brilliantaly paradoxical position to put him as an exile-turned-messiah. Actually, I think Tomasi does an especially good job of handling the fact these character are facing yet another universe-threatening crisis following the defeat of Nekron; harpening on how these stalwarts are going to have to messy aftermath that's just as tough as the main event.

    The Bad

    As awesome as all the mythology building is, this did feel like a bit of an "in-between issue" in that it's mostly set up for what's to come. Perhaps it's a testament to how hooked I am on the concepts, here, but I'm anxious for this skeleton crew of lanterns to hurry up and get back to Daxam so we can finally progress what's going on there.

    The Verdict - 4.5/5

    Hands down, this was the issue I was looking forward to the most this week. I loved Tomasi's work on GL Corps so much that this was, through very strong intention, the first book I reached for in the stack.  I think he's the best writer in DC's staple and certainly the most underrated. He's been able  to put his own spin the greater mythology that Johns has created

      The Good: Warth is my new favorite character. Not only does he offer tea and peace, he even faceplalms when Kilowog and Arisa attack Bleez. I sweat to god that image has incredible meme potential. Bleez is also my new favorite character. Is it strange that I just want to give her a hug? This is mostly due to me remembering her backstory in Tales of the Corps back at the start of Blackest Night, and I wanted to give her a hug then. But now, she's also seriously badass. And he skeletal wings that ...

      Story: The issue starts right where the last issue left us. Bleez has got a grip on Guy and she is telling him to stay away from blue. Kilowog and Arisia blast her with both of their green lantern rings. Bleez fights back agains all three of them. Guy captures Bleez in a chain ball and swings her around but she breaks out of it with her rage. Warth grabs Bleez by the throat and removes the boiling blood from her throat so she can talk. Bleez shouts out that Guy should not rid himself of the rage...
