The calm
before the storm……
Hal and the
rest enjoy a moment of reflection until the final battle begins. With almost
the entire universe at odds with the Green Lantern Corps, Hal decides to visit
Earth while finally getting off his high horse on Mogo.
The dialogue
is strong, through content continues to be filler even at this late stage of
this event. The artwork is patchy at time, but the primary visuals continue to
be excellent.
SPOILERS
FOLLOW……………
On Mogo, a
fish lantern discovers a case with vials located far from the Green Lantern
headquarters.
Elsewhere,
Hal Jordan pays a visit to his brother Jim (no glasses?) in Coast City and
places his family under Baz’s protection. We get a reminder of Hal’s bargain
with Guy (during Lights Out) about handing over the reins of Space Sector 2814
to Guy and his Reds.
As Mogo
hurtles through Space to reach Hal’s designated war position, Saint Walker and
Mogo discuss Mogo’s ability to move so freely and his own loss of hope.
At Base,
Salaak makes some comments about the draining mechanism being more sophisticated
than Relic’s iteration when Hal comes in and requests some hard advice on how
to handle things.
On Gwottle
in Space Sector 0487, the native mechanics help the Khund in building their
weapons cache when the Green Lanterns, led by Hal, arrive.
Thanks to
Lantern Gorin-Sunn, they’re able to stop the Khund and company. Imprisoning the
Khunds, Jordan orders Vath to clear the Gwottens and destroy the weapons
facility.
Back on
Mogo, the Durlan ‘spy’ apparently is the owner of the vials case but seems
unnaturally queasy.
Some good
character moments and Hal comes off his high horse for once. Walker’s progress
though the stages of grief continue though the whole ‘Durlan War’ thing seems
to have slowed down until the next salvo.
SPOILERS END………………
The artwork
is okay, and even though the plot slows down, we get some nice quiet moments
for Hal, Walker and the rest. The next stage of war is approaching and the
story seems to be going through the motions right now.
So, I give
it 7.5 out of 10.
+Some nice
artwork
+Hal gets some little character moments, as does Walker
