    It's not love, it's all of them together!

    After months of dragging and boring issues of the Green Lantern franchise, finally a homerun and don't kid yourselves, there's not big secret or magic in display here, no sir, just old fashioned 100% good writing and art from the heart! Lantern Kyle Rayner has been one of my favorites from a long time and I wasn't very happy at what Bedard had been doing with him since the new 52, this whole "New Guardians" was a mess, very confusing and no point at all, but if everything we suffered was to lead to this conclusion (and I hope it sticks like that for a little while and not become just a provisory solution) I guess it was worth it (or maybe not, meaning, if you're interested pick up from here, no harm done). This issue shows us a warm happy flashback, when times were merry and all Green Lanterns get along with the Guardians, good time those, just to break the harsh new reality in our laps with the main event of the year: that's right, talking about Ganthet Vs Kyle Rayner, let the best ring wielder win. Aaron Kuder did a fantastic job here in the action/battle scenes, also fantastic colors from Will Quintana, Ganthet Vs Kyle is memorable to enter the History of the Green Lanterns, perhaps one of the best scenes ever of the Green Lantern comic books, I kid you not! The coolest thing is that battle is raged not only in the physical plane but also with wits and words and Mr. Bedard really nailed in their dialogues too! Also, one of the most important things here is their relationship: Ganthet always believed in Kyle and now it's Kyle belief in the blue little man that doesn't let he quit on him, he doesn't stop believing that Ganthet can be saved, turned back, that's really interesting! Ok, this issue is worthy for this battle, 'nuff said!

      This issue has a fantastic cover, after seeing Kyle in various situations with other New Guardians, The Third Army completely takes over this cover, getting closer and closer leading into a grotesque close-up right in your face, eyes staring daggers into your soul.I like Aaron Kuder's artwork a lot. He's got a style very different from the other Lantern titles, helping to keep a sense of variety between them all. Matching the multi-lantern nature of the series, Kuder's artwork is very bright and...
