Green Lantern Corps #22

I was all set not to like this issue. I didn't care much for last issue and felt that the Boodikka/Alpha Lantern story had been shoehorned into "Green Lantern Corps" breaking up the upcoming Mongul arc. This issue brought a few good elements to the Alpha Lanterns and somewhat finished up Boodikka's Alpha Lantern origin story. While the design of the robot-like Alpha Lanterns is certainly creepy, it doesn't mesh well with the Guardian's history. They know the folly of creating the Manhunters. One would think that they wouldn't go this route again. The end of this issue dovetails well with the ending of last month's "Green Lantern". I'm looking forward to the return of Peter J. Tomasi and the Mongul arc.

This story line didn't really do anything for me. If you're looking to pickup "Green Lantern Corps", next issue looks to be a good jumping on point.
