And Then I Read: GL EMERALD WARRIORS 9

First I'd like to take note of the cover design. I find this a very attractive action shot, with four figures filling the four corners being blasted or impacted by a huge lantern symbol. The logo is centered over that symbol, but is in front of two figures and behind another.  If they had made the logo bulge outward from the center, it would be even better!

Inside we find the four Earth GLs, each using a power ring of another color, being blasted by the rest of the Corps, including the planet-sized GL Mogo (created by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons). The only escape for them is to tunnel deep into the planet of Oa itself, and that makes for an eye-opening journey. Like many old people, the Guardians have a lot of interesting junk in their basement! Then there's the ongoing discussion of what these heroes should tackle first: the Parallax power in the master power battery allowing Krona to control the rest of the Corps, or Mogo, who has them stymied.

The art by Pasarin and Smith is excellent, and they once again do a fine job depicting dozens of GLs of all sorts. They handle the action well, and keep the tension up during the quieter moments with dramatic lighting and good character acting.

I'm continuing to enjoy this storyline. Recommended.
