      A very interesting issue, and influential on what's goin' on in today's DCU. The Lantern's are routed by Krona, and it's down to Hal to save the day. This sorta lays the standard operating procedure that Nekron uses, being that he sends his agents into the DCU reality (universe) facilitate his arrival. Surprisingly (sarcasm sarcasm) the guardians are to blame for yet another massive major reality ending event or entity, and ol' Hal is there to bail them out to a certain extent. How much weight the issue will really have on Blackest Night has yet to be seen. One very interesting use of Hal's ring in the story stuck with me, which my gut says will some how be applied in the final showdown in the blackest night, but i would have to "spoiler" this up to say it.  Also we get our first taste of dead & hungry GL's although they are Robbie the Robot compared to the Black Lantern's T-1000. All in all its a solid issue, and its collected in a Tales of the GLC trade, which may eventually provide some valuable context to the final act of blackest night.
