I'm really enjoying the work that Peter J Tomasi is putting in to these stories. I already thought the book was pretty solid, but ever since Peter came on board . . I really feel that it's stepped up a notch. Also, this issue, we get some fantastic pencils by Luke Ross. He really did a great job on this issue. This issue is actually mostly about Lantern Saarek. He's the one you see on the cover there. Besides his abilities as a Lantern, he also has the ability to speak to the dead. Which is perfect as someone has recently dumped the eyeballs of all of the recruits families onto the surface of OA. As expected it has to do with the Sinestro Corps. From the eyeballs Saarek get a picture of their killer. It turns out that its a group of Corps members . . a family actually . . that calls themselves Quintet. Of course the GL Corps finds them and brings them in, but really, they're only a very small part of the Sinestro Corps. Who's to say that they won't try it again? But the real revelation this issue is at the end. Saarek is asked in to private counsel with one of the Guardians. He wants Saarek to take on a special mission for him. A mission that he can't speak of to any other Corps member. "I need you to locate and communicate with . . . the corpse of the Anti-Monitor." I'm not really sure what that's all about, but it can't be a good thing. I really like the way they're handling this book, and all the attention that they're bringing to the other Corps members . . especially the one's that are not of Terran origin. With all of these 1000's of Corps members it just seems natural that we should see more than our usual 5 or 6 members. Know what I mean?
