So I'm still catching up on Green Lantern Corps. This is the first issue I've read since mid-way through the Sinestro Corps War and I don't have a very firm grasp on whats been going on lately but apparently they are introducing all sorts of new colors of Lantern Corps. In this issue we get to see one of the new Sapphire Lanterns get selected and Guy Gardner getting lovely dove and then fight with his girlfriend Ice. I'm not really familiar with her... okay I'm going to be saying that a lot when I talk about DC comics...but anyways.
So this issue was fairly lacking in action. Its billed a prelude to the Darkest Night event so it's kinda impossible that it wouldn't be a story issue. The love story of the new Sapphire Lantern was EXTREMELY corny. If these Lanterns power rings are supposed to be powered by great love than how about a moderately convincing lovestory rather than something that seemed thrown together at the last minute. The art really didn't lend itself to this part of the issue. The alien couple seemed cartoonier than they needed to be. I mean this style works in the rest of the issue but not there. As for Guy's date with Ice I can't really comment as I don't really know any of the back story but some parts of it seemed pretty random.
Should You Buy It?
I guess if you are a completeist like me or if you really like Green Lantern but if you are only going to buy 5 comics this week there are definitely better ones than this.
