Green Lantern Corps #20

Issue #20 comes across as an epilogue to the epilogue of "The Sinestro Corps War". The last issue showed the aftermath of the war and now we see the affect on both Guy and Kyle. This issue serves as more a character piece with Guy and Kyle trying to find their place in the world (universe). I like the secondary story dealing with Mongul's new found power with the Sinestro Corp ring. It is too bad that we have to wait until issue #23 for that story to come to the forefront. The art in this issue is a bit inconsistent. Gleason & Rollins cover is exceptional but the interiors aren't up to that standard with some of the pages looking rushed and Guy just not looking like Guy.

I put this book on my pull list at the start of "The Sinestro Corps Wars" and will keep up with it for a few more issues - at least until the Mongul story is complete. However, if Guy's bar is a central point and the series loses focus, it won't stay on my pull list for long.

Green Lantern Corps #19

I am not a huge fan of epilogues, but after the break neck "The Sinestro Corps War", I'm willing to give "Green Lantern Corps" a down issue. Not a lot happens here as the book jumps around to the various Green Lantern Corps members as the return from the war. The art is not that great and looked a bit rushed. While it wasn't an exciting read, almost boarding on boring, the final page provides an exciting jumping on point going forward.

Green Latern Corps #18

Part 10 of "The Sinestro Corps War" has Sodam "ION" Yat going toe to toe with Superman "Ultimate Fanboy" Prime. Of course, the fate of some of the players here have been spoiled over in "Countdown" which did reduce some of the dramatic tension. Writer Peter J.Tomasi does a fine job of interleaving a hard hitting fight scene with flashes back to Sodam's past. The flash backs really provide a good bit of character development on Sodam and show why he's so dedicated to the Corps. The art team does a great job of pulling together both the bloody fight scene and the flash backs.

While the outcome of this fight is truly spoiled over in "Countdown", I felt that Tomasi's story played out quite nicely with good art in support.
