Green Lantern Corps #15 - DC


What an awesome book. This whole Sinestro Corps War is turning out to be a fantastic story-line. What really impress' me is that this book is being done by Dave Gibbons and Patrick Gleason. Actually Angel Unzueta helps out with some of the pencils on this issue. But generally . . . it's all Patrick. Now Dave is a comics icon. But the work that he's done on this book . . since it's inception really . . has been tremendous. He's even filled in on pencils a couple of issues. Patrick, who's relatively new to the business, has really blossomed on this book. He's had a distinctive style since he started. But he's really shown some progress as this book has come along. Now if we could just get somebody . . the public . . to recognize his talents. I think that this story-line will bring a lot of attention his way though. He definitely deserves it. Most of this issue revolves around the attack on Mogo by the Sinestro Corps, and Ranx. I really like the variety of aliens that they've brought in to this series. And I like the gradual progression of the Guardians part of the storyline. This issue they've kind of decided that it's time to stop just being observers, and time to take a more direct approach with action. Basically they just don't want to be prisoners of the prophecies of the Book of OA. We also see our covert team that is on Qward looking for information. But their mission may be brought to an abrupt end. On the final page they come face to face with the Anti-Monitor. Obviously this will all be in TPB in the next 6 months, to a year. But you really should get out and pick this up as it goes along. This title, along with the regular Green Lantern title, are really shining right now. And I think the creators deserve all the support and recognition they can get.
