Beware my power-John Stewart's Light!!!
Scans and summary here
The Good
Art- the dynamic colors give the less than realistic pencil work pop right off the pages. It’s a visual treat for the eyes!
Cover- Both covers are lovely. The standard has both lanterns in a hailstorm of green lantern rings, the alternate shows our earth lanterns minus Kyle is an almost cg scene with green light so bright it fades to white. Lovely!
Characterization- Kyle remains ever the optimist, hoping there is another way to deal with the problem at hand, John is a hard ass knowing that touch decisions need to be made and he does it. The difference in our protagonists really sells the issue at hand.
Action- John gets great spotlight with some nice fight scenes and that last page where he destroys mogo? Badass moment! But one that will drive a huge wedge between him and Kyle’s years of friendship
The Bad
Blue ring- It has served no purpose thus far in the story….lame.
Kyle- Kyle fans will lament his uselessness in the overall story.
The Ugly
4/5
