The Good
Villain-I love Cybrog Superman! He’s actually a better villain for Green Lantern than he’s ever been over in the superman books. That red and black costume, Sexy! Here he’s commandeered the entire alpha lantern Corps which while predictable does make for a cool tale.
Humor- Kyle, Kyle, Kyle. Shoot me I love Kyle! Anyway 😛 his dream of Jade and calling out her name while sleeping with his new girlfriend was right up there with other great Kyle Moments like kissing Donna while with Jade LOL some situations only work with some characters and that was a completely Kyle Moment! Natu’s reaction was hilarious as well!
Action- John’s fight with the Alpha Lanterns and the drainage on Natu, Kyle and Ganthet are preludes for what I’m hoping will be a great battle in the issues to come.
Art– Great colors and ink work, glowing lights and bright greens make for a great looking comic.
Covers- Both covers look great, one has the group the other with just Boodika and John, Lovely!
The Bad
Predictability- Everything was predictable, from the Cyborg Superman take over of the Alpha Lanterns. Seriously no one saw this coming when Alpha Lanterns were introduced? Yup we all saw it coming!
The Kyle and Natu drama was also too cliché and too safe, it was alas predictable territory for the character of Kyle.
The Ugly
3/5
