    Speaks their lingo

    I have never been a big fan of hero versus hero fights, but here for the second time in as many issues of the crossover, the reader is treated to such a fight done right.  The fight is caused here (as in the other case) by the introduction of the yellow impurity into the rings.  Guy starts off with Kilowog and Arisia in deep space, but soon she turns on them and Kilowog allows Guy to escape.  Guy subsequently meets up with Hal, but as the two talk their personas are increasingly being taken over by their tainted rings.  The resolution of this conflict is fairly well handled, and with it the two heroes are more or less stranded.  Overall a pretty fun and well written issue.

Cover- A painted cover illustrating Guy choking the life ou...

      Don'T Tell Me That's Supposed To Be the Big Fight 0

      The fight between Guy Gardner and Hal Jordan that Emerald Warriors has been hyping from day one explodes here, and does it live up to that hype? No, it really does not. It is a solid enough third chapter of War of the Green Lanterns, but the mind control premise and some poor dialogue from Peter Tomasi hold this issue down.  As far as plot progress goes, this issue is really just Guy and Hal coming together and comparing notes with their fight serving as an action piece to pad the issue out. It ...
