This issue may be my favorite yet of the whole Blackest Night event. From the team-up of Carol, Hal, and Sinestro, to the reveal of Khufu and Chay-ara as the heart of the Zamaron's crystal I was blown away. The Mongul and Sinestro confrontation that had been building for almost a year was executed perfectly, with the perfect resolution. This story is turning Sinestro into the Magneto of the DC Universe. He is a villain that I can sympathize with and yet at the same time know that he is wrong. I hope that at the end of this story that he is reinstated to the GLC. Doug Mahnke's art is amazing. He brought this giant space opera to life in a exciting style that makes the reader feel all the confusion and speed of the War of Light. This issue was incredibly dense with its reveals and developments, and the last page cliffhanger raises the stakes, and even makes Sinestro truly realize the horror of the BLack Lanterns.
Story: 5 - Excellent
