    This is the final issue of the Revolt of the Alpha Lanterns story arc, and after doing a decent job of building to it for 4 issues, this one kind of fizzles.  On the surface it is not that bad, just the combination of all the little parts sort of detract from the combined effort.  I appreciate the presence of Soranik here as always but she is almost ignored.  The other Lanterns don't receive particularly good treatment either, resorting to a drawn out battle sequence.  The real weakness though here is the portrayal of Boodika and Ganthet.  They both seem out of character and almost seems like this entire story arc was to set them up for another one later.  It sort of takes some of the edge off of the story arc, but overall it still had a lot of fun parts.

      Okay, I can honestly say I was not impressed with this issue.  'Revolt of the Alpha Lanterns' was wrapped up way too quickly.  There was easily one more issue of story left to tell.  I think the only saving grace was that part of the issue was told from Boodikka's perspective.  'Revolt' is clearly a tale trying to mix the action of the Green Lantern Corps with the philosophy of transhumanism.  Don't get me wrong.  The first issues of this story arc were great, but I expected more from the ending...
