    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

      At least practice it 0

      Despite the fact that some of my favourite series mainstays have been absent as of late in this title, I still find that it has generally had the better overall writing in this story arc (which can be said as a whole of the entire series as opposed to Green Lantern.)  With only really John and Kyle against Mogo here the action proceeds almost as expected here, until it doesn't.  Really in terms of taking on the different ring colours there is a development here that I could not have seen coming ...
