Fall of the Green Lantern Corps
Where to begin? Oh, yeah, Spoiler Warning. With that out of the way, I guess I'll start with the art, and how it is MUCH better then the art in the last issue. As far as the story, well, things are heating up. Just as the the GLC start to push the Black Lanterns back, the undead baddies suddenly turn around and become hellbent on destroying the central power battery. They fail. But they do kill Kyle Rayner. Ouch. On a side note, I was mildly disappointed that Kyle wasn't a little more....disturbed by Jade's return as a Black Lantern. I know it's to show that he's got a strong will and that his love for Soranik is so strong, but....
I just think it would have been a little more dramatic (and cooler) if Kyle was somewhat traumatized with fighting an undead loved one just like everyone else is. But, anyway, with that out of the way, I think I'll stress something I liked about this one: One of the Alpha Lanterns dies. I HATE the Alpha Lanterns. The arrogant bastards. And this one killed a Red Lantern when he was trying to help out against the Black Lanterns. What a complete idiot. Well, it looks like he got his comeuppance. Shame about Kyle though. In all, this was a solid installment of the Blackest Night story, and the best part was of course, Kyle's dramatic demise.
