Sodam Yat = Space Jesus
The Good: The continued atrocities of Sodam Yat's horrible father and planet are always an interesting group to be explored. The entire idea behind the society of Daxam is always an interesting read.
Sodam Yat's character development of his own is a huge surprise and a really interesting development. I absolutely can't wait to see where it leads.
Guy Gardner's torture is fantastically hilarious. You have to suspend disbelief a heinous amount with the whole 'breathable, unbreathable' thing, but it's too damn hilarious for me to care enough.
Emerald Warriors tackles the daunting task of weighing the Green Lantern Corps' morals. The conversation between the 3 at the end raises a whole drum full of philosophical worms in the ongoing debate of the future of the Corps.
The Bad: The whole idea behind Rakkonium is entirely too convenient. It's a big glaring 'plot advancement ticket' that just bothers me.
Sodam Yat's personality seems to have changed just a hair too drastically to be completely believable. Yeah, I know, he got betrayed by the Guardians and flew into the sun, but still. Something just doesn't seem right. He accepts being 'a god in the flesh' just a bit too easily.
Guy and Arisa's argument also seems to spring up far too quickly.
In Conclusion: 4/5
The biggest problem is that too many things in this issue feel sudden and too convenient. That said, in the long run, these are all minor issue. Emerald Warriors is still a fantastic read, and the plot developments here are pretty awesome. I love how deeply Tomasi is digging down into the moral questions about the structure of the Corps without losing sight of the Sci-Fi Action nature of the series.
