Green Lantern Corps #16 - DC


We are definitely in the heat of the war with this issue. Ranx and the Sinestro Corps launch an all out assault against Mogo. They figure if they can take out Mogo, when they kill the Lanterns, there won't be anyone to direct their rings to the new owners. But their Daxam Lantern, Sodam Yat, delivers the killing blow to Ranx. The Guardians call for Yat to be pulled from his mission on Ranx, because they don't want him killed. They have plans for him. I'm guessing because he's going to be the next Ion. I may be wrong. But that's my guess. Anyways, the Lanterns turn back the tide against Mogo. Of course it helped that the Guardians changed the rules, and as of now . . . lethal force is allowed against the Sinestro Corps members. But, as Hal sends out a desperate plea . . . he's discovered that Mogo wasn't their real target. It would've been nice to have that win, but at the very least it would distract the Corps from coming to the aid of their real goal . . . . . Earth. And during all of this . . . . where is Guy Gardner? Man this is an awesome story-line. Dave Gibbons is doing a fantastic job, as usual, with the scripts. And, surprisingly, Patrick Gleason seems perfect for the art on this series. He's someone I always knew had talent, but . . . he just never really stood out. But now . . . with this series . . . he seems to be getting better and better every issue. And his take on all these different aliens . . . is just sheer perfection. He may not be one of the "super-star" artists, but right now, this series, is in the best hands it could be. An incredible job by all involved.
