We have a new creative team on the book this issue. I don't know if they're here to stay, but I would guess that they'll at least be around for this story-arc. It's Sterling Gates, writing, and Nelson as the artist. They both seem very adept at handling this series. It's a very good issue. This one deals mostly with Boodikka coming to terms with, and learning what it's like to be, an Alpha Lantern. I don't think it's what she, or anyone else, except the Guardians, expected. They now seem devoid of emotion, actually any kind of connection with other sentients, and seem loyal only to the Guardians themselves. I find it interesting that in the actual cover, Sinestro has been removed from the background. We do get a brief glimpse of him once in this issue, but I don't think they want us to think that he really, in any way, is connected to the current path of these characters. We also find out a little more about Boodikka's background and her life on Bellatrix. Of course they have to show us a little bit about the Blood-Sister of Bellatrix, because at the end of the issue, she's going to be coming in to direct conflict with them. And the one she was closest with, Zale, is now a Green Lantern also. She is investigating the disappearance of many ships in sector 1414. She discovers that they're all ending up on Bellatrix. When she flys down, she ends up right in the Blood-Sister's base. I'm not familiar with either of these characters, but I thought they did a fantastic job with this book. This book has grown to be a very essential part of the Green Lantern mythos. I'm even thinking that they may have to get a third book going if we're ever going to see Kyle, John or Guy in their own stories. Can we, Please?!
