Green Lantern Corp #12 - DC


Nobody bounces around more in their career than Guy Gardner. He goes from working with the elite Green Lantern Corpse last story-arc, to being at the bottom of the barrel, because he's being framed for murder, this story-arc. He goes from being an elite Honor Corps Guardsman to being hunted by everyone and everything he loves. They haven't tipped their hand yet, but I believe this has something to do with the Sinestro Corps. The Lanterns and the Guardians don't even know about them yet. The only reason we do, is because we're getting back-up stories, to build up characters and to get us aquainted. Also, it seems that something has either gotten to, or is affecting, Mogo. Because everyone that goes their for counseling, including Kilowog, have come back with this warped perception of things. Almost like Mogo is opening up wounds on purpose. And I think that a dissension in the Corps members is on the horizon because of it. Well that, and I think that this whole thing with Guy is going to split the ranks also. We're getting to know a whole lot more of the members this time around. Which is a good thing. There's a huge variety out there, that we've never been privy to. Like Mogo's sector partner. Mogo is a living planet, and his sector partner is Bzzd of Apiaton . . . a gnat. "Scale is only relative, lantern Vath. After all, you are smaller to Mogo than I am to you. And be assured, my will is just as strong as yours. As is my resolve to bring evil to justice." Dave Gibbons is doing a fantastic job writing the stories for this book. He really integrates a wide variety of characters. We aren't just centered around our 4, Hal, Guy, John and Kyle. We're getting to see more of the whole group. In fact our 4 are pretty insignificant when you look at the big picture. Which is what we're doing more of now. I also like Patrick Gleason's pencils. I wasn't a huge fan before, but with this book, his style really fits. So maybe, if we keep the creative juices flowing, and the hype growing, our group here may be able to obtain something the likes of the Legion status. The potential is there. Good luck!
