Green Lantern Corps #35

The tension continues to build on Oa as the Green Lantern Corps has to deal with a jailbreak, and some of the universe's most disgusting creatures look for revenge.

At the same time the Sinestro Corps - as led by Mongul - is setting up shop on Daxam, and two members of the GL Corps find themselves facing overwhelming odds.

All this is building toward the next big story - but even with the "Prelude to Blackest Night" logo on the cover, I only saw one frame of art that seemed to link to that story.

As always, the story by Peter Tomasi is well managed, if a bit gruesome in places, and the art by Patrick Gleason is quite good, with some really striking images in there.

But all that aside - what's the deal with the ad DC has at the back of the issue?

Wait, let's get the grade for this issue taken care of:

Grade: B

Now, then - take a look at this ad for the upcoming Justice League of America: Cry for Justice.

I'm assuming the art is just cropped oddly - but for all the world it looks like the heroes - The Atom, Green Lantern, Green Arrow and "Captain Marvel" are staring at Supergirl's chest.

I guess you can hardly blame them, since her, uh, "S" logo is so prominent - but since she's a teenager, it just seems a bit unseemly. I'm just saying is all.

It's just Ollie staring at her chest. (The cad.)
