Green Lantern Corps #30

Back to Blogging! Most of the heavy work is done, boxes are packed and stuff is in storage. Of course now I have to UNpack everything, and find places for all this stuff. On the plus side however, I am now the proud possessor of a melon baller and a lemon zester.

But onto Green Lantern stuff.



There are two plotlines running in the latest issues of Green Lantern Corps, and as is proper with a title such as the Sins of the Star Sapphires, Love is the main theme. We have renegade Sinestro Corp member Kryb still running amok and murdering Green Lanterns and stealing their babies. We also have the Guardians deciding that now would be a good time to go over and have a little talk with the Star Sapphires and see what it is that they are up to. Naturally, they pick Guy Gardner, Arisia and Sodam Yat as their escorts. What could POSSIBLY go wrong?



LOVE the sunglasses. And the way that Guy is ogling the behind of the Zamaron that they are following. He really is incorrigable.

The Zamarons take the Guardians and Lanterns past a whole passel of Sinestro rings that are being drained of their powers by their own violet crystals...just as a way of rubbing in the fact that they are busy too. The Guardians are getting a little huffy at this point, and our favorite crazy Guardian, Scar is busy whispering sweet nothings in Yat's ear...such as if things go haywire, he's supposed to blow up the violet battery and surroundings.

Anyway...Queen Aga'po shows up and there is a bit of preliminary posturing. Soon enough however, they decide to dispense with the pleasantries and get to the nitty-gritty. The Guardians are pissed that the Zamarons are throwing their weight around. The Zamarons are getting just a tad fed up with the "emotionless" jihad of the Guardians. The Guardians neither understand nor trust love, and Queen Aga'po makes a salient point when she points out that the Guardians own corps are all willing to love.



She also points out that the Guardians previous ventures with the Manhunters didn't exactly turn out too well, and that the whole idea of the Alpha Lantern is a little demented as well. The Guardians huff and puff and bloviate for a bit. Then the Zamarons show them that they've captured several of the Sinestro Corp female baddies, have encased them in crystal and are trying to "show them the light". The Green Lanterns are justifiably a bit skeptical of this whole idea. It all ends of course with the Guardians telling the Zamarons to knock it off, and the Zamarons telling the Guardians to stuff it. Meanwhile, Kryb is up to her old tricks, murdering GL's and stealing their babies. Kyle, Amnee, Soranik and Mr. Amnee are hot on her trail. For some bizarre reason, their response to Kryb is disturbing to the Guardians who seem to have been drinking a whole LOT of stupid juice lately.



Banning physical relationships and love between Green Lanterns? Oh THAT'S going to go over really well. What's next, not having families? Parents or siblings? What about the Lanterns that are already married? For the Love Of God, What About Hal Jordan, and his Loins of Desire? Or Guy and Ice?

The Guardians are about to have the biggest strike on their hands in their entire four billion year history.
