This one is a nail biter. Last issue we learned of the Green Lantern Corpse. It's a very secretive, undercover, black-ops division of the corps. My guess is that's there's even only 1 or 2 of the Guardians that know of it's existence. Anyways, the only surviving member is Durlan by the name of Daggle. When Hal took down the Corps, Daggle and his team were deep undercover. Then with the central power battery down, Daggle was the only one to survive. He took cover until the power came back on, or he was called back in to service. He knew that both were inevitable. So now, he and Guy and a newer recruit that goes by R'amey, have come to the Dominion home-world in search of a meteor. The meteor has the power to evolve whoever possess' it, beyond their dreams. One Dominator has used it to do just that. He has become nye unstoppable. And he has taken a Khund mind reader, which has been locked in the dungeons of their planet, as his acolyte. At the end of this issue, Guy lies beaten and torn on the floor of the former Khund's dungeon, R'amey has been eviscerated by the Dominator to obtain her ring, and Daggle's intestines have been eaten by the Khund. Having accomplished that, the Dominator and the Khund are now on their way to earth, to conquer it. The next issue blurb reads, "The Dominator reaches the earth, and only the Corpse can stop him from destroying it . . . . if only they weren't already dead!". Astounding story by Keith Champagne, and Patrick Gleason's pencils are just fantastic. If the Green Lantern book wasn't as good as it is right now, this one could definitely outshine it. Props to all involved.
