Green Lantern Corps #37

Oh the plot thickens. It thickens SOOO nicely. Several plotlines are all becoming tangled as well plummet down towards Blackest Night.

Firstly, Sodam Yat has plunged into the red sun of Daxam, and managed, with a little help from Ion, to turn the sun yellow. Needless to say, this has a rather remarkable effect upon the good citizens of Daxam, and they are just dying to go out and kick some Sinestro Corps butt. Fortunately for them, Arisia manages to keep her head, and point out that new powers or not, that's just suicide. Guess we'll have to wait around and see what happens with THAT little story.

Meanwhile, Lantern Saarek has met up with Lantern Ash, in the corpse of the Anti-Monitor. They are both comparing notes, and expressing a tiny bit of concern about the motives of the Scarred Guardian. I have a feeling that these two are going to figure heavily into the Blackest Night epic.

And, without a chance to catch their breath, the various Lanterns on Oa are still trying to quell the riot, with some surprising allies. Guy of course, is winning hearts and minds in the most unlikely of places...and people. And our favorite raconteur, Lyssa Drak busts out, and unfortunately for her, her love of books leads to an...unnusual fate.

Scar has decided that this is just a peachy moment to come out of her shell, and so she decides to destroy the protective shell that the Guardians had spent a year erecting around Oa. Won't THAT be nice?

Beautiful art as usual, the pace is frenetic,and juggles its multiple storylines quite neatly. So read it, and enjoy it.

Oh, and just to keep the theme going, here is a lovely picture of Hal getting slapped around by the Lamplighter, from my latest Showcase. Now THAT'S a villain that should be revived by Geoff Johns!



Unlike poor Jonah Hex, who is being thumped in the head by various Natives, Hal is stopped by Air Molecules made Solid! And he manages to show off his magnificent behind for our pleased edification as he does so.

Hal believes in going just that little extra mile.
