    Fire in the sky

    After a mostly good buildup, this story arc finishes not quite as well as it should have.  A series that lives by action suitably depends on it for its success, and while the action here is fun there is little which is especially groundbreaking.  With a relatively average level of action there series thus depends on the plot, which also leaves a little wanting.  The interjection of Firestorm does not really make sense, and other than the ultimate resolution of the story, there is not much here to grab hold of.  In the end it is still a decent enough ending the the story arc, but the series has done so much better before with self contained story arcs, so this one feels weak in comparison (especially as it is so close to the end of the series.)

It's the final battle, and it's on an epic scale. One of my favorite things from this issue was the constructs that Sinestro creates. It's very imaginative, and if it were actually real, it would be incredibly creepy. The Weaponer has quickly become one of my favorite non-lantern characters in t...
