Attack of the Third Army
In this issue we finally get to see a bit more of the Third Army. This arc has, so far, been really slow paced and, to be honest, this issue isn't much different. Baz is a very interesting character and has the potential to be one of my favorite Green Lanterns in the future. Here he finds the one person responsible for the explosion showed in the #0 issue. Inside the man's house his ring's battery ends, so he is as helpless as a mere human. It was nice to see him trying to fight off the Third Army, although he didn't have his powers.
The art is absolutely gorgeous. I couldn't find a single panel in which the pencilling was inconsistent. It was detailed and the facial expressions looked real.
This issue is also full of action... scratch that. It's not really action. It's more of, what I'd call, Simon Baz and an agent from the FBI running from soldiers of the Third Army who are trying to kill them. Yeah, that sounds better. Anyway, we get nice shooting and explosion scenes, as you may have guessed by the picture.
The comic also shows Hal Jordan and Sinestro who were trapped inside that decaying place by Black Hand a few issues ago. Well, we don't really see much of them. There's just one page containing beautiful artwork and dialogue. Nevertheless, the cloaked man/woman does not have his identity revealed.
Overall, this was a great issue with a fairly nice amount of "action" and exceptional artwork, although the pacing still proves to be rather slow. And by the end, a Squirrel Lantern is shown! Green Lantern #15 gets 8/10.
