Green Lantern Corps, Volume 3: Ring Quest by Peter J. Tomasi, Peter J. Tomasi, Peter J. Tomasi, Sterling Gates
4.0

Damn sure when Peter J. Tomasi enters a title I get fucking excited because man oh man, he brings it almost always.

So Kyle is back after the events of Sinestro War. He's trying to get back to his regular life as a Green lantern. Guy and Him decided to leave earth and live within the OA. In doing so they will be on a lot more space adventures while John and Hal stay on earth. In doing so we get Mongul going around the universe collecting all the yellow rings to use as a power source to...well rule the world because he is insane. So now we get multiple green lantern characters, with the two main focuses being Guy and Kyle.

Good: Loved the hell out of Kyle and Guy's character development. David did a good job last run making me like Guy but Peter gives me a reason to really embrace the character while keeping true to his obnoxious ways at times. Kyle easily fits into the partner role for Guy to make two very interesting main characters. The art is great, and the universe and fights never looked so good. Oh, and how awesome was it to see the Lanterns go all "FUCK OFF" and blow a villains head right off? Yeah. This is the Green Lanterns I've been waiting for.

Bad: Sometimes I got confused who was who again for the Lanterns. There's so many, and some get so little screen time, that when something horrible happens I just go "Who was that again?"

Overall, great stuff. Very fast paced, fun, and a lot of heart. The fights are bigger, bloodier, and more badass than before. I hope Tomasi run stays this good! 4 out of 5.
