As the Green Lantern comic continues to thunder toward the Blackest Night story, in this issue we meet the last (at least I think it's the last) of the colorful Corps - the Orange Lanterns.And they're (its?) shaping up to be an extremely powerful opponent, although their true nature is something of a mystery.
But Hal Jordan has his own problems to solve - he has a blue power ring on his finger (in addition to his usual green ring), and it seems to leave him at war with himself - and his dedication to the Green Lanterns.
This issue is mostly about setup, so it's not particularly outstanding on its own - but I'm anxious to see where the story is going from here.
Writer Geoff Johns has set up an amazing framework for an intergalactic battle, and it's (hopefully) going to be a wild ride.
Artist Philip Tan turns is some strong work, here, although a few pages are difficult to sort out - for example, I'm not really sure what's happening in the first attack by the Orange Lanterns.
This comic continues to hold its spot near the top of DC's line, and now that the pieces are all in place, the fun can begin.
Grade: B
