And Then I Read: GREEN LANTERN CORPS 16, GLC ANNUAL 1

Guy Gardner is definitely in a bad place. Lost his ring and Corps membership, thrown in jail by his own family here on Earth, and the Third Army is about to attack. Think he can turn things around? If there’s one thing we know about Guy, he’s stubborn. I wouldn’t bet against him. Meanwhile John Stewart and Violet Lantern Yrra are trying to get Mogo, the planet-sized Green Lantern back together again, while fighting terrorists. Things are moving right along to the conclusion in…

See, it says right on the cover, “Conclusion.” Handy, that. All the Earth Green Lanterns are present and kicking Guardian and Third Army butt, except for Hal Jordan, still missing. Many other familiar Corps members are here, too. The Guardians should have no problem with this, but seemingly they’ve pushed their power source to its breakout point. In other words, that power source is about to turn on them as well.

This was a pretty good storyline overall, a few slow moments, but quite a few good ones. My biggest problem with it is…no conclusion. There is no resolution at all here, just the beginning of another (probably crossover) storyline. This seems unfair to me as a reader, and a case of false advertising. Hey, I’ll be reading the next storyline, but couldn’t there have been room for some closure on this one first?

Mildly recommended.
