Green Lantern #20 - DC


First of all, Daniel Acuna's artwork is fantastic. This guy has really begun to make a name for himself. And it appears that he's blazing his way across the DC universe. Also Geoff Johns is doing a fantastic job with these stories. Hats off to both. Of course we're still dealing with the Star-Sapphire here. The Zamarons have brought it to earth to find love and to mate it with Hal. But they're unsure of whether he still wants Carol, or if he's more interested in Cowgirl. At the end of last issue, Hal gave Carol a bit of his power, so that she could help him fight the Zamarons, and Cowgirl who is now Star-Sapphire. Carol breaks the bond between Cowgirl and the crystal, but now it's in a state of flux, because it doesn't know where to go. So Hal, thinking on his feet, decides to turn the tables on the Zamaron's and kisses one. So guess where the crystal goes next? But this is unacceptable to the Zamaron's so they have to make a hasty retreat back to their home to try to fix the situation. Carol, Cowgirl and Hal have an awkward moment back at the bar. After which Carol heads home, and Hal asks Cowgirl out. Meanwhile, back on the Zamaron home-world, where they've decided, " . . . it is time to not only collect love . . . but to combat the prophecy . . . we must collect them all." They are referring to 3 lanterns, or beacons if you will, in their citadel that are flowing out with 3 forms of energy. The first is red, like the star-sapphire, the second is green, like the lanterns, and the third is yellow, like the power Sinestro is tapped in to now. So obviously all these groups, the Guardians, the Zamarons, the Lanterns, the Qwardians, the Sinestro Corps . . . they're all connected. And apparently have a big battle, or some kind of prophecy coming up. Which leads us directly in to the Sinestro Corps, which are building in the back-up stories of this very book. It should be an interesting summer.
