Sadly this wasn't as good as the last volume. Saying that, it's still fun.

This volume has a few stories, the two biggest being when the Lanterns team up with Batman and then another where Polarity the villain who can control metal, goes a little bit batshit insane. While the Batman story has the Lanterns go to Gotham the Polarity story deals with Simon dealing with his own issues and family.

Good: I always enjoy character development so anything with Simon growing as a character is nice. Jessica had a nice "fear" moment that really helped show how far her character came. I also thought dealing with a villain breaking down was well done.

Bad: The Batman stuff was heavy handed and kind of dull at points. I didn't buy the dialog between Simon and Bruce all that much. I also thought the pacing of this volume was slower and not as exciting as the previous.

Overall while I didn't love this like volume 2 I thought it was still entertaining. I think when Sam focuses on Jessica/Simon growing as people it works best. His villain work sometimes can suffer. A 3 out of 5!
