Green Lantern #13 - DC



Geoff Johns writes it, Ivan Reis draws it, and it is incredible. It's so good , that we should give credit to the inker, Oclair Albert, and the colorist, Moose Brumann, also. Together these people have made a work of art. Hal and Guy have gone looking into the mystery of sector 3601. What they've found is a rebuilt Manhunter planet, led by Hank Krenshaw, the Cyborg Superman. They've also found about 2 dozen Lanterns that everyone thought was dead. Including Arisia. It turns out Hank has been syphoning enery from OA. He has these new large Manhunters, called Highmasters, that are each capable of destroying a planet. The problem, they need a GL to fuel them. How busy has Hank been? The planet is populated with 40.3 million Manhunters. Also, in the process there's a secret that Hank has learned from the energy he stole from OA. Well Hal, Guy and team break free of the planet, and end up using one of the Highmasters to destroy it. They watch Hank melt down, but, you know his consciousness is still floating around out there somewhere in the Manhunter sector. Upon their return to OA, Hal asks that a Lantern be assigned to that sector, but the Guardians refuse because they don't want anyone to discover the path in space sector 3601. What's that? Only the Guardians know. Also Guy was given Prime duty. What's that? They have Superboy Prime locked up in a special cell that is surrounded by a miniature Red Sun. Guy has to guard him for a month. I'm telling you, this book is fantastic.
