Book Review: Green Lantern: The Sinestro Corps War
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
"There is a spectrum of power unseen in the universe made up of sentient thoughts and feelings. Made brighter or darker depending on the universal emotional state of intelligent life. Today, the universe feels fear."
This book had me going through the emotions. It took me a while to get into it, but once I did, it became un-put-down-able. You know how I love well-written characters, right? Well, Geoff Johns is awesome at that. There's this one panel where the Green Lanterns from Earth (Hal Jordan, John Stewart and Guy Gardner) are in a legitimate battle and they're all just having this bro-centric conversation on the side that should be completely out of place, but it isn't. It's...perfect.
There were several times throughout this story that the world dropped out from under me because I couldn't believe what just happened. Once with Parallax and twice with Ganthet. By the end, I was either smirking or left satisfied with the outcome. Lots of 'to be continued...' happening, too.
The cameos in this book are outrageous. I bet I could flip though it ten times and spot someone new every time. There was a panel that featured both Nightwing and Creeper which, for some reason, made me giddy.
Do you love space-magic adventure stories where good has to battle evil on a world-sized scale? As long as you don't mind amazing art that goes with it, this is highly recommended!
