Green Lantern Corps #4 - DC


We get a rare treat this month. Dave Gibbons has been writing this book. But this month be writes, draws and does the cover. And, on top of that, Michael Bair does the inks. I'm not sure if you're all familiar with Gibbons' art, but his lines are pretty crisp. And if you have a penciler that overshadows it, it can take away from the overall effect. But Mr. Bair, has some really crisp crean lines. The overall product is very clean looking. Anyways, Guy has gone to Restoria for a little down time. He spends most of his time in the company of 3 Tigra looking women, whom we find out later are robots (?) and are being paid by someone (?) to keep him company. But this mercenary looking guy, Bolphunga, crash lands on the planet, because he has come looking for Guy. We also see Natu, who has gone to report Myrrt's passing to his parents. On Thanagar, Vath has gone searching for his partner Isamot, who came her to help terraform, but then found his soul mate. Meanwhile, the Citadel has sent an attack fleet to Thanagar. Vath wants to fight, but he can't do it alone. Isamot's mate however is ready to mate, and if she doesn't do it now, her time will have passed and she won't be able to again. So Isomat has to chose between helping Vath, or propogating his species. Guy is up to some problems of his own. He is doing his best to keep Bolphunga at bay, but when he finally makes it to the hotel safe, where is his ring?? Apparently this planet isn't what it's supposed to be, or someone is really out to cause Guy grief. Someone beside Bolphunga. Cool book. Great characters. And the way Dave writes, we should meet a lot more of the myriad of Green Lanterns over the course of his run on this book. Thank you!!!
