    Quite a good issue

    I'll admit while I was excited to see John Stewart in a GL book, I was less than enthusiastic to see that Guy Gardner would be joining him. However my hopes were once gain lifted when I found Peter J. Tomasi was writing it.Though as I started to read this, I began to slowly warm up to Guy Gardner. The story is that a mysterious being is murdering Green Lanterns and it's up to John Stewart and Guy Gardner to round a team of GL's to investigate the deaths of the two GL's and are sent to investigate the once water world of Nerro which had it's oceans entirely drained, killing all of it's inhabitants.

    I really do like Peter Tomasi as a writer as it seems that he can write any kind of character from Batman to even the GL's. They choose a team of basically no name Green Lanterns. They're the ones nobody really cares about but that could be a good thing, we'll just to have wait for the next issue to determine that. Reading it all the way through, Tomasi has gotten me interested in finding out the next chapter of the mystery. I never though I'd see him writing a GL book because I primarily know for his work on both the previous and current Batman and Robin series.

    Fernando Pasarin may be an artist I've never heard of but I do like his work with this book. I can say most of these titles that have been Week Two and Week Three so far have had the best artists. Gabe Eltaeb also does a good job with the colors on the book.

    I wasn't sure what to think of this book when it was announced but I can say that out of all the GL titles coming out or ones that have come out this will be the only one I will pick up monthly. I'm still unsure about whether or not I'll grow to like Guy Gardner but as for John Stewart, I'm glad to see him in a leadership position because I really do like him.4/5 Stars

      From the 52, this is the none "accessible" jump in point for new readers.  This book already depends on another book, which was Green Lantern #1 released a week before.  What is nice for those who are using this as a jump in point, it show cases three core lanterns in Guy Gardner, John Stewart and Salaak.  My major problem was with the cover not even featuring most of who is on the cover, so it is a nice way of saying this cover is for the trade.  The same problem occurred with JLA #1, with Wond...

      The Cool Corps 0

      The New 52 is here and Green Lantern Corps is back. Guy, John and several other lanterns are taking on the missions that Kyle and Hal (Sinestro), don't feel are worth their time. Is this series worth your time? HECK YES!  THE GOOD: I really liked that art, but I was expect greatness already knowing it was Fernando Pasarin. The story is really good. I liked it not because of the space police stuff but because we get to see these characters doing what they do normally. I definitely could get use t...
