And Then I Read: GREEN LANTERN CORPS 60

It's aways sad when a character you like meets his end, and that's the case for me in this eighth part of the "War of the Green Lanterns." It's not too surprising; a war means someone has to die, after all. Here it's what I consider the most original and thought-provoking member of the GL Corps. Of course, in comics no character stays dead if someone wants to write about him, her or it. I suspect this character will not be brought back any time soon, though. We'll see.

Kyle and John take center stage for much of this issue, using the blue and purple rings as best they can, not having been trained with them. They're trying to prevent an increase in the army of Green Lanterns under the sway of Krona, and along the way they encounter remnants of the Black Lantern force.

The art by Kirkham and Batt is fine, and as in all the Green Lantern books, the color is a great help to the story; by Rod Reis and Nei Ruffino in this case. In fact, this entire series would never work now without great color and subtle computer color effects impossible in the comics of past decades.
