DC has apparently decided that each month their comic line needs some kind of marketing hook. Last month it was "Faces of Evil," as the cover and the title was taken over by a villain.
This month, it's "Origins & Omens," as each comic features a short back-up that focuses on, well, origins or previews of the stories coming up.
With this issue of Green Lantern Corps, the backup is definitely in the "Omens" category, as we get a teaser for the upcoming (and much-anticipated) Blackest Night story.
And that's a pretty good reason to pick up this issue, but it also includes several vignettes focusing on different members of the Corps, and starts moving the pieces in place for the upcoming story.
We also check in on Mongul, who's taking over the Sinestro Corps - but he faces a major obstacle first.
With a strong story by Peter Tomasi and excellent art by Patrick Gleason and Rebecca Buchman, this is definitely a series to watch - especially as "Darkest Night" continues to unfold.
Grade: B
