Green Lantern Corps #50

Wow! We're up to the fiftieth issue already!

Oh yes, the Cyborg Superman is back, and as usual,he has an agenda. I know that he's nuttier than a fruitcake, but really, you have to feel for the poor guy a little bit. All he wants it to be able to die, and John and Guy managed to accomplish that for him back in the Sinestro Corps War, and then those dumb Manhunters brought him back to life. Haw! Then Nekron shows up, and it's like the answer to his prayers except that nobody can see or hear him, because he doesn't have a heart. It HAS to be frustrating.

Still, grabbing a lot of nice Green Lanterns and turning them into Alphas to do his bidding, is just crossing the line. Not to mention trying to do it to John Stewart, who really has been having a bit of a trying time lately. So it's a pretty good thing that Ganthet, Kyle and Soranik all show up to pull his chestnuts out of the fire. Too bad it's a trap!

Cyborg Superman is busy draining Ganthet's power, which is pretty darned impressive, all things considered. Kyle busts John out, and manages to keep Soranik from being skewered, which is nice of him. They all hi-tail it to a cave, which just happens to be full of the planets inhabitants. Did I mention that this is where Stel is from, and they are all robotic lifeforms? With a crazed Cyborg Superman, this could be either really really bad or really really good.

Tony Bedard and Ardian Syaf are doing a decent job in taking over for Peter Tomasi and Pat Gleason. It could use more Guy, but heck, I say that about EVERY book. I look forward to the next issue, and I hope...I REALLY hope that we'll end up with Green Man and Boodikka back being normal Lanterns because I like them and I miss them.
