    Atrocitus makes Earth his home and seemingly tries to protect Earth's people as Star Sapphire, Sinestro, and Hal Jordan figure out the purpose of the White Lantern on Earth and what they have to do in order to maintain peace across the universe.
     

    The Good

    Finally, an issue about working together as a team instead of everyone fighting each other. True, Blackest Night did bring many lanterns together to reach the same goal, but this issue has them working together because they want to. I also no longer feel as though each lantern corps is a gimmick. They all seem to be here to stay. I love seeing the Red Lantern Corps evolve and come into their powers, since they are the youngest of the corps. Also, Dex-Star is not only adorable, but an entirely awesome character. For those who haven't been reading, Dex-Star is a member of the Red Lantern Corps, and he/she is an adorable kitty cat, who will vomit blood on you that eats your body away. We finally get a small understanding of why the white lantern has positioned itself in the middle of a road. This is the issue that makes me love the Brightest Day story arc because again, it doesn't feel like a gimmick. There's a purpose behind everything.

    The Bad

    The character reveal at the end of the issue. I hate the character that shows up at the end more than any character at DC, Marvel, or any indy company. Also, I completely forgot about Ion. I've missed him, and he feels forced into this story, but I can't be too sure until I know how everything plays out.
     

    The Verdict: 4.5/5

    If you've been a Red Lantern Corps fan, this issue is for you! I can't say this is a good place to start for anyone wanting to get into Green Lantern. In fact, this is a terrible place to start. I suggest starting back at Green Lantern: Rebirth. However, if you've been following the book, you'll really enjoy this one.

    This doesn't sound like a Green Lantern book... sounds more like a Guardians book...
    Might pick this up... not a huge fan but Blackest Night did leave interest on all these characters... so I might get this!

    I'm not sure how I feel about all the Lantern Corps working well together. I get what brought them together. Just feels boring if it stays that way.
     
    That cat sounds like it has the worst hair balls EVER.

    I haven't seen the Red Lanterns use any constructs.  I don't like that.  Do the indigo Lanterns use contructs.  It's kind of stupid that star saphire, green lanters, blue lanterns and sinestro corp members do but not the other two.  make em all use constructs.

    To me, Lobo is just as useful as the Jaime Reyes Blue Beetle (not useful at all). Lobo can be sometimes cool, however for him to able to never die is stupid. Maybe Johns can change him to a useful, but I believe he should no longer be relevant to the DCU for a while.

    I find Lobo awesome! He's a punk! Takes no crap from anyone and is more funny then deadpool. 5/5 for me!
