And Then I Read: GREEN LANTERN NEW GUARDIANS 22

Perhaps there are only so many ways to make a big enough threat to the Green Lantern Corps, but in this title, the new threat: Relic seems rather familiar. He’s a huge thing humanoid that Kyle Rayner and his group of Guardians and fellow Lanterns have discovered at the edge of known space (there’s a concept hard to fathom) who seems somewhat machinelike, in the manner of the Borg from Star Trek or Brainiac, and plays mind games with Kyle much like the recent GL foe the First Lantern. I’m not seeing much in the way of new ideas here from writer Justin Jordan. The art by Brad Walker and Andrew Hennessy is fine. Perhaps a less cosmic, more personal storyline would engage me more, but I don’t see that in the offing.

Mildly recommended.
