Green Lantern Corps, Volume 2: Alpha War by Peter J. Tomasi

4.0

The Alpha Green Lanterns are mega dicks and they are about to use their sense of "justice" to kill one of the biggest Green Lanterns.

In reality this is really a story of setting up the big final crossover event coming next. The wrath of the first green lantern. This has John on trial for killing one of the members of the corps. BUT he did it to protect them. However, the Alpha squad look at it as black and white only. So they sentence him to death! Guy isn't having that though.

The guardians are really pieces of shit. All plotting to get rid of the central members of the Green Lantern corps to make room for their new creation. It's actually frustrating to see what they're doing in the background but it's nice to see how easy a government can use their people and throw them away, makes you realize how they do it in real life so easy too. I also think the fights here are pretty brutal and a great ending. The art can be a little sketchy at times and some ugly faces drawn here or there.

Overall, this is solid build up to the next crossover. Peter writes the corps good here and it's no different. 3.5 out of 5. Round it to a 4.
