This issue should carry a warning: "Now with 100% less Green Lantern content!"Of course, Hal Jordan is busy right now fighting for his life over in the Blackest Night mini-series, so this issue (which also ties into that series) focuses on some of the other colorful Corps stories, with special emphasis on Sinestro and Star Sapphire (Carol Ferris).
Written by Geoff Johns, the issue features some good moments, but is largely focused on moving all the pieces into place, as the Black Rings continue to seek out more dead heroes and villains to resurrect.
The art is excellent under Doug Mahnke, with some strong moments here. He's rapidly moving up on my "favorite artists" list.
There's not much else to say about the issue without giving away important story elements, but it's not all grim events - there's a funny moment with Larfleeze (Agent Orange) that should get a laugh.
This issue isn't crucial for following the Blackest Night events, but as always, it couldn't hurt.
