This issue actually picks up immediately after Green Lantern #25. I didn't read them in order, but, that's ok. That's what I love so much about this medium . . . minor transgressions are forgiven. Or . . at the very least . . they don't f@#$ you up too much. Anyways, now that the wars over, all's that's left is to pick up the pieces and get back to the business of life. Kyle has been assigned to the Honor Guard of the Corps, and specifically as Guy's partner. This could set the stage for some interesting stories. Anyways, they have a little bonding moment on the top of the Statue of Liberty. It's touching. Really. And they Guy tries to go and get things back in order with Tora. She's a bit reluctant, after just returning from the dead, so they decide to take it slow, he'll give her some space, and they'll start over with a first date in a month. It seems like Guy's changed a bit already. We then get some brief spots on some of the rest of the Corp, and a view in to what they're each doing to cope, or just get back on with things. The creepiest one, is actually the most normal one. Kilowog is on Mogo and he's attempting to offer him a family moment. But, obviously, Kilowog's family is all dead. But he's sitting at the table, chatting and eating with them like they're right there in front of him. We finally end up with a member of the Sinestro Corps who's on the verge of dying after he crash landed on this planet way out in who knows where. Finally a traveller stumbles upon him. He wants to tell him about his adventures and offer him his ring, but the traveller gets bored with all his talk and snaps his neck. He takes his ring . . and transforms. It's Mongul! This could be an interesting development. I really like the approach that Peter J Tomasi took with this story. After this whole big war story-line, it's nice to see the individual Lanterns in their own private moments, coming to grips with everything that they've gone through. And, as usual, Patrick Gleason's pencils set the perfect tone for the book. This is another series that, after the way the last incarnation ended, I really didn't expect to much out of. But it's proven to be so much more. This series has already had some pivotal moments in the history of the Corps. And my feeling is, there's going to be a whole lot more.
