What an amazing book! Before I say anything, I gotta tell you, if you haven't picked up this book yet . . . . get the hell out there and get it. This is going to change everything! Literally! Geoff Johns writes it, and Ethan Van Sciver does the art. And they are both . . incredible. But they aren't even close to being the best thing about this book. I don't know if I can even tell you it all. There's a boatload of revelations, in this book alone, that are going to blow you away. And I'm sure when this whole mystery unravels, we're going to find out a whole lot more. Where do I start? Well you know how Parallax wasn't really Hal Jordan? He was some kind of entity, that because of Hal's fear and anger took residence inside of him. So he literally wasn't responsible for his actions while he was Parallax? Well . . . Ion isn't really Kyle Rayner. Ion is also an entity that the Guardians have placed inside of him. They claim it's an experiment. But it's not malicious as Parallax is. I believe it, or the race of beings where Ion and Parallax come from, is actually the source of the Guardians powers. But I'm just speculating here. And while I'm speculating, both these beings are yellow. So I'm guessing that's where the weakness to yellow came from. They probably put it in the Guardians rings, so that the Corps could never rise up against them. Again . . . just speculation. Anyways, Sinestro has removed Ion from Kyle, and replaced it with . . . . Parallax. Not a good turn of events. He has Ion in some kind of . . . "cell". We also find out who Sinestro's co-conspirators are this issue. He's being aided, or led (?), by the Anti-Monitor and the ManHunters. And besides getting Kyle, and turning him in to Parallax, he's also got Superboy Prime, the one from the Crisis that was being kept in a sciencell on OA, and Hank Henshaw, the Cyborg Superman. A formidable force, in and of itself, but remember he's also got his Sinestro Corps. Hundreds of ring-bearers, much like the GL Corps. But . . . they're dedicated to instilling fear. And honestly, that's just the tip of the iceberg. You really should pick up this book to find out everything else. You will not be disappointed. This is just the beginning. The beginning of the story that's going to shake up the Guardians universe. Fasten you seat-belts, and get ready for the ride.
