Wow! This Kryb character . . one of the Sinestro Corps, is one sick twisted SOB. There's a couple of important things that happen this issue. First of all, the Guardians add another law to the Book of Oa. "Physical relationships and love between Green Lanterns is forbidden within the Corps." That's not to say they can't have families and lives. They just can't do it with other Corps members. I don't think that's entirely unreasonable. Although I would imagine it would be pretty hard to hold down a steady relationship with a whole sector of space to patrol. Next we see a new Sapphire inducted in the Purple Corps, Miri. "Now that you've touched the Pure Heart, you are officially one of us. Charged not just to spread love, but to save love." That kind of seems like an ambiguous credo to follow, but . . it's what they believe. If they can do it . . more power to them. But most of this issue is spent with Matoo Pree trying to protect he unborn child from Kryb. The problem is, when she tries to fight him . . another group of Lanterns were sent after him, but he cover them in some kind of slim that works it's way into their bloodstream and now he controls them body and soul . . . she puts up a pretty good fight for a while, but then she's overwhelmed by the other Lanterns. She's knocked unconscious, and on the final page of the issue, all the other Lanterns are holding her down and it looks like Kryb is going to take the baby himself. Peter J Tomasi is doing a great job with the stories in this book. Obviously with this huge cast of characters, he has to keep many fronts going at the same time. I think he's doing a great job keeping that all straight. I'm also thrilled with Patrick Gleason's pencils. He's been a mainstay on pretty much this entire series, and it's definitely benefited because of him. He really give this book a great feel. He also does a great job of drawing all these various alien races. To me this book is almost as strong as the regular Green Lantern book. And that's saying a lot.
