Another month, another darn good issue of Green Lantern.I'm not sure a new reader could follow the story that continues to focus on the different hues of emotion and the Lantern Corps that has built up around each one, but for the readers who have been following along, writer Geoff Johns is building up another epic conflict along the lines of last year's Sinestro Corps.
This issue tells the story behind the origin of the Orange Lanterns - which are apparently an army of one. At its heart is Larfleeze (who also goes by Agent Orange), and this issue should probably be titled "My Dinner with Larfleeze," as Hal Jordan has an interesting (and somewhat disgusting) dinner conversation with his host.
The art by Philip Tan and Eddy Barrows is good, although a bit dark and murky in places (of course, given the topic, one assumes it's intentional).
The story builds up to a rather shocking ending, which we won't give away here - but it'll be interesting to see what happens next, and how it all leads in to the upcoming Darkest Night story.
Grade: B+
