    Search that orb

    At this point in the the new 52 relaunch I may in fact be giving this series too much credit.  Heading into the reboot I was pretty excited about the cosmic series, most of which were focused around the Green Lanterns, but thus far I have been disappointed in certain respects with all of them except for this one.  One of the main issues is that the gender equality which was so well handled prior to the reboot is mostly absent in the series except for this one, which features the new female stars of DC Cosmic Fatality and Bleez as Carol Ferris and Soranik Natu are laying low.  That having been said this is a fairly basic but still entertaining space based story as the de facto team continue to look for answers which brings them to an giant replica of a solar system.  As the team splits up they find different threats along the way, in what ends up being a pretty engaging tale thought not necessarily memorable.

      So we start with the new guardians deciding to split up and search the enormous model solar system. Fatality goes with Munk. Arkillo begrudgingly goes with Saint Walker leaving Kyle with our adorable friend Glomulus. Meanwhile, Bleez has returned to Ysmault just prior to the events of Red Lanterns issue three where Attrocitus dunks her head in the blood lake and makes her smart... because I guess that's how that works. Cut to Larfleeze and Sayd, it's revealed that Larfleeze has alterior motives ...
