Now THAT is what I'm talking about!

So first volume of this series was fine, pretty cool, but nothing special. This time the focus is far more on Guy. Which, for me, could be a bad thing. I never really liked the Lantern much, he was always with John as more of the ones I gave two shits about. This volume turned me around though.

So first story arc is actually Guy and his new partner going on an adventure in a chilly place. When they land on this ice planet they are right away tricked and beaten. Then it esclates from there when a beast who takes the power of the rings decides to go to earth. The 2nd half is mostly building up Sinestro war here with people becoming infected with the Fear. This one goes further into the universe from characters from the last volume returning. Except Guy is still the main focus and he is now questioned for murder!

Good: The big jump in pacing and stakes is very nice. Never is this volume boring and always intense. I love the first half is like a good old buddy cop episode except when shit goes bad, villains get stronger, and then some secret agent green lanterns? Fucking badass. The expanding of the fear infected people, the murders, and more makes this feel more and more like a police movie/show but out in space, and works really well to play on the strengths of the series. The art, as always, is fantastic and some great fighting moments.

Bad: It is big and there's so many characters. I loved what they did with Guy but the rest of the cast feels kind of meh. I want to feel for those characters but very rarely do.

Overall, great! I really enjoyed this volume a lot. A huge upgrade from volume 1 and looking forward to revisiting Sinestro War before continuing this series with Peter at the helm. 4 out of 5.
