We're getting closer and closer to Blackest Night. As we move in that direction, we also seem to be expanding on this war of lights theme. This issue we see that the Zamarons are pushing their power limits. They've attracted the attention of the Guardians a couple of times now. And with this issue we see their newest recruit . . Miri Riam of the planet Lartnec. She recently lost her newlywed Kered when her ship was savagely attacked by Mongul. She's recruited in much the same fashion that most of the Lanterns are. Meanwhile Kyle and Natu are on a mission to find the person responsible for the threat against the new recruits families. They want to take away the fear that's trying to be instilled. Guy and Tora are trying to sort out their long distance relationship. But it looks like that's a work in progress. Also the Guardians are going to try a diplomatic mission to Zamaron. Peter J Tomasi does a great job of keeping track of all of these characters. This book is miles beyond it's previous incarnation. If you think about it, it kind of actually reads like a soap-opera. A grand, epic outer-space opera . . but, a soap opera none the less. And as usual Patrick Gleason is the penciller of this issue. I really dig this title. I thought it started out well, and then . . we had then we had the whole thing with the Sinestro Corps. Which was fantastic. Shortly after that . . Peter took the creative realm. This book has been going full steam ever since. However, I'm thinking . . with all of these various Corps popping up . . all the colors of the spectrum . . we may need another Green Lantern related title. I'm voting for the Quarterly book. I really liked that concept. Oh wait . . we already have one coming . . from the Final Crisis mini-series . . . Rage of the Red Lanterns. Fan-frikkin-tastic!
