I am so happy I picked this back up again. This run does an excellent job of introducing the important aspects of the Green Lanterns Corps and making you love the members even if you're unfamiliar with them. We get to see the Yellow Lantern Corps work together with the Green Lanterns in the middle of a crisis. Soranik makes an excellent leader for the Yellow Lanterns and complements John Stewart's leadership incredibly well. We get hint of her past romantic relationship with Kyle Rayner and I thought that was interesting. He gets some excellent character development in this volume and so does Guy Gardner. Guy and Kyle both make sacrifices for the sake of the Corps and really shine in their loyalty to their friends and strong willpower. The ending of this arc was quite a surprise and I'm sure Kyle is going to have to sift through a lot of things emotionally due to the new information he found out at the end of the battle against Sarko. I'm looking forward to it and hoping for the best. I've also grown a giant soft spot for Guy Gardner and I can't wait to see more of his friendship with Arkillo.
