    Review: Emerald Warriors #5

    The secret of Guy's pact with Atrocitus is revealed just as his unit of Honor Lanterns are arrested by rookies mistaking them for the Sinestro Corps.
     

    The Good

    I'm always impressed by how Tomasi infuses this outer space with such grand emotion and philosophical weight. In this issue, he puts Kilowog into the absolute worst position he could ever be in - - both physically and emotionally - - and that's exactly what a dramatist is supposed to do. Pasarin is just lush, too, and I appreciate his attention to even little details like the GLs' skin getting pressed against the "glass" of their construct cages.
     

    The Bad

    While I love how it harkens back to the entrails-reading of ancient augury, Guy's prophetic vision feels like it's coming too close to the last prophetic vision that foretold Blackest Night. If it's something that's addressed as being a curse that many GLs suffer at the claws of demons of the Five Inversions (Guy seeing it from Atrocitus just as Abin Sur saw it from Quill) then I can buy it but, as is, it feels a little like double-dipping.

    The Verdict - 4/5

    I'm quite excited about seeing how this current storyline with the emotional entities plays out. Thus, I appreciate how this arc complements what's going on in the main Green Lantern title without necessarily being dependent on it. There was some skepticism about this book finding a unique identity as it went along and I can confidently say it has with this focus on the elite GLs - - it is, in fact, my favorite GL book.

      In the word of Killowog, I´m kinda of a newbie in the Green Lantern department. I started reading GL only last year, buying trades from the Geof Johns series, right in the middle of the Sinestro War and I just get caught in this amazing emerald world. I continued reading GL (bought the Origin, Rebirth etc), read Blackest Night and when Brightest Day begun I thought to myself "Heck, I´m already stuck in this, so I might just continue". And so I´ve beggun reading Green Lantern - Emerald Warriors a...

      Emerald Warriors after only five issues is so far a great series. Peter J. Tomasi may not write Kilowog the best, but I love his characteristic of guy. What I liked: The writing was and art were very good, and I liked the whole thing involving the mind controlled green lanterns. I thought that Kilowog's expression, after learning that all of the green lanterns had died was spot on. I liked finding out more about the secret pack between Guy, Ganthet and Atrocitus. The whole glimpse of future with...
