Green Lantern Corps #38

Man do I wish I had jumped on board with this title sooner. Well Green Lantern seems to be stuck in the mud in the run up to Blackest Night, Green Lantern Corps has been on cruise control.

One of my favorite things about the book is how well Tomasi balances a number of different plot threads, always seeming to know exactly when to switch gears. So, while I still enjoyed the hell out of this issue that knack for balancing the stories was somewhat lacking here. For my tastes Tomasi spends too much time on Oa in this issue; Soranik receives two relatively text heavy pages but what really bothered me was the Daxam situation showing up for only a two page splash. Not that the scenes on Oa were bad, but I think some fat could have been trimmed from them which makes the reduced coverage of the other situations that much more annoying.

No complaints at all when it comes to art though. Gleason as well as the inkers and colorists have a greated a look which fits this story perfectly. In a word, fun.
