Green Lantern Corps #44 - DC

Well, it looks like Mogo has stepped up and saved OA and the Central Power Battery. It seems, at some time, he was given a primacy directive by the Guardians. Basically, he pulls himself into close proximity of OA, and then increases his gravitational force exponentially. In order to do so though, he has to temporarily interrupt the power-rings of all the Green Lanterns that are trying to defend the planet. Every living thing is pulled off of OA and sent on a collision course with Mogo. It looks like everyone is in a hazardous descent towards the planet, but . . Mogo stops the Green Lanterns re-entry shortly before impact. The rest of the Black Lanterns? They're absorbed into Mogo's surface. 'All the Black Lanterns will be pulled through each stratum of my being. They will be torn asunder and diffused. Sifted into atoms. Until all that is left of them . . will be drawn to the center of my core . . where they will forever be superheated and prevented from re-forming. In other words, my fellow Lanterns . . they will burn for all eternity.' Well . . I guess that's one way of getting rid of the infection. However, while all of this was going on, Guy still has a Red Lantern Ring on his left hand. Kyle tries to talk to him . . let him know that he's not dead. But Guy appears to be to far gone. He won't believe what he's seeing. And he can't get past the rage that the Red ring is feeding him. But Kyle refuses to give up on him. Next issue the Green Lantern Corps needs to get to the task of rebuilding OA and the Central Power Battery. However, it looks like they're all going to have to take on Guy before that can happen. I think Peter J Tomasi is doing an incredible job with this series. I love his take on these characters, and this army. I also love Patrick Gleason's work as the penciller. I definitely don't think this guy gets enough credit. He draws some incredible visuals for this book. And . . we're getting near the end. Blackest Night is almost over. Only 2 more issues. And then? . . . Brightest Day! But I don't necessarily think that's the end. I think it's more like the beginning of the rebuilding. Plus . . we're going to get an awful lot of stuff in the next 2 months. Buckle up. I think the ride is about to get extremely bumpy.
