First of all, check out these 2 amazing covers. The one on the right is by Patrick Gleason, and the one one the left is by Glenn Fabry. They're both phenomenal. Peter J Tomasi is really doing an incredible job with this series. This issue, the break-out at the sci-cells is pretty much wrapped up, and the Alpha-Lanterns are taking all of the escaped prisoners of to new quarters. Meanwhile, Kilowog, and the rest of the Lanterns are left cleaning up OA. It's buildings and it's people. The problem is, right now, everybody is pretty shaken up because the battery-shell around OA has been shaken apart by the children of the white-lobe. Kilowog has to be the voice of reason and try to get everybody back on task. Meanwhile, on Korugar, Soranik is trying to deal with her recent revelation that she is the daughter of Sinestro. Her and Iolande are trying to figure out how she's going to deal with this information. And on Daxam . . with the recent power spikes in it's inhabitants, thanks to Sodam turning their sun yellow, Mongul has decided that maybe it's time to retreat. "Due to this . . unexpected resistance, I think we need to reconsider Daxam as a base of operations. I do believe there's a planet that may fit our requirements and serve the symbol of this Corps in a much more fulfilling way." But the real 'meat and potatoes' of this issue is when the Guardians, upon their return, have instructed the Alpha Lanterns in dealing with the escaped prisoners.
"The Guardians have ordered that all prisoners are to be executed. We are carrying out their decree." Kyle and Guy find this out, and are intent upon stopping it . . even if it is in direct violation of the Guardians. They can't believe that the Corps has stooped to this level. It's not at all what, to them, the Corps stand for. The Guardians save the 2 that Kyle and Hal promised they'd protect, Bolphunga and Kanjar-Ro, but then they dispatch the 2 honor-guards back to Earth, where they are to learn to keep their emotions in check, and to wait until a formal inquiry is launched. On the final page, we see some asteroids collide . . with various spectrums in the background . . Green, Blue, Orange, Red, Yellow, Violet . . and out of the rubble comes hundreds of Black rings, and then . . a giant symbol of the Black Lanterns. Something nobody realizes yet is that Scar, I think, is trying to strengthen the Black Lantern Corps. So, with the execution of these prisoners, she's actually making them stronger. It looks like in the next issue of both of our books . .
Blackest Night begins. This is a fantastic book. Peter has been doing an exemplary job, and I'm still thrilled with Patrick Gleason's pencils. I love the way he portrays all of these various alien races. And next month . . next issue . . ooh, I can't wait!
