Well...





I thought it was freaking awesome.

I wasn't on the verge of buying this. I was already planning on it.
Now I will buy an extra copy and give it to my Grandmother as a gift.

WOW! I CAN'T WAIT TO READ THIS!

Tiny Titans is awesome!!

Awesome issue! Guy was such a bad-#####!!!







I was really sad that they killed off Vice last issue, though. He was one of my favorite Red Lanterns. I kinda saw it coming, though... since I knew Guy was going to become a Red Lantern and the only Red Lantern ring in the vicinity was Vice's. But how come he didn't become a Black Lantern instantly? How about Chaselon?

The Black Lantern rings are pre-programmed to find certain people, maybe?

I think I am going to write-up full reviews this week. I'm not done reading my stuff, but from the ones I have read, two DC comics really blew me away (HINT: neither were Blackest Night titles).

The rings seek out those who are most able to evoke emotion. Black Lantern Kyle would make ton of GL's feel. Black Lantern Vice? He's just a monster.

I'm happy about this. Killing off A & B listers just for shock value is pissing me off.

Which is why I was very happy that the only "mainstream" DC title I was reading was Justice Society.

So, of course, next year there will be a "JSA: Blackest Night" miniseries. Bleh.

GLC recap: Kyle's dead, so Guy flies off the handle and gets himself a new ring. Christmas Lantern, just in time for the holidays. Munk, Kilowog, and some of the other Lanterns run interference to keep the black rings away from Kyle, which kinda plays out like the old arcade game "Invaders". Kryb and Miri (the Star Sapphire) discover that Kryb's kidnapped babies are black lanterns, and Kryb flips out. Miri traps Kryb in rock candy and flies to Kyle and Soranik.

Kryb still hopes to save her babies, but Guy melts them into baby stew. Kryb's not happy, but she doesn't put up much of a fight before Guy disarms her. Meanwhile, Miri uses a love transfusion from Soranik to save Kyle (Sorry, she calls it an "infusion of love and will," but love transfusion sounds cooler). Kyle revives and reclaims his ring and decides to help recover his bromance with Guy. Mogo shows up to help, which marks one of the first times I've ever seen Mogo take the offensive. Nice.

Also, Guy is using Kryb as a bludgeon in the last shot of him. At least that's what it looks like.

5/5 from me. This issue was tons of fun.

Here's my issue with the most recent GLC. The stated reason that Mogo doesn't socialize is because if he traveled to Oa, his gravity would tear it up. That's what the original Mogo doesn't social story says.

And yet this story quotes the original by saying "I guess Mogo socializes after all." and Mogo goes to Oa. How can you ignore a story by quoting it?


Oh, and Mogo is so going to die.

If he does it plays into my theory that post BN their will be no more "Corps" just a number of Gl's with power but no more OA, Guardians or Central battery

Considering the issue, yeah, they are preprogrammed. At one point in the issue you had about a hundred or so BL Rings screaming, "KYLE RAYNER OF EARTH!" with the other GLs trying to fend them off long enough to revive him.

(And, um, Kryb's arm got shoved slightly into her brainpan by Guy, so I'm presuming she's dead.)

And yet, Nekron's VCR still flashes "12:00".
