Green Lantern: Rise of the Third Army
by Doug Mahnke, Peter J. Tomasi, Fernando Pasarín, Geoff Johns, Peter Milligan, Miguel Sepúlveda, Tony Bedard, Aaron Kuder
Pretty solid event dragged down a bit by having too many crossover books into one.
Crossovers are meant to push new storylines for the future. They're also a tool companies use to sell more issues of a series not doing too well. I don't know how well Red Lantern was selling at this point but I really wish they weren't in this collection.
Basically you have the main green lantern story focus on Simon and how he becomes a Green Lantern. This is really solid stuff. Then you have the Green Lantern Corps mostly focused on Guy, and his decent into near madness when losing his crew and ring. Then have New Guardians dealing with all the other ring weilders, and more importantly, Kyle's ascending to a new form. Last you have Red Lanterns who basically just yell at each other and do nada.
I enjoyed the Green Lantern stuff alot. Probably most of all I enjoyed Green Lantern Corps stuff because of Guy's fall and push back. John is in the background too but you can feel he'll be bringing some big stuff soon. Kyle's story seems distant from the rest but it's great to see him become a badass once more. Red Lanterns story is pretty meh.
Overall a 3.5 out of 5.
