Pleasantly surprised by this one! The Guardians are trying to contain the amount of active Sinestro Corp rings until The GL Corp is strong enough again for a full on assault, so we get to see the aftermath of The Sinestro War on everyone’s lives as the surviving Green Lanterns go on the hunt for new Sinestro members. I really like the brotherhood Tomasi establishes between Guy and Kyle here. Their conversations about why they each wanted to leave Earth for Oa felt really genuine and endearing. It’s done more to make me like Guy Gardner than anything Geoff Johns has written in the main Green Lantern book.

While I initially rolled my eyes at another Mongul Jr. story, I really did enjoy the additional lore we got about the infamous Black Mercy plants, as well as the introduction of Mother Mercy. She played a great part in showing the characters’ fears after what they all experienced during the Sinestro Corp War and adds another act of cruelty to the long list of atrocities the Mongul family has committed. Pleasantly surprised by this one! Recommended to all Green Lantern fans.
