Green Lantern: New Guardians Vol. 1 & 2: In yet another corner of the Green Lantern universe we find Earth Green Lantern Kyle Raynor has suddenly been given a power ring from each of the other corps (It's a long back story, but there's a bunch of different corps with different emotions powering there ring like love and rage and hope and greed) What eventually come to light is that an unknown entity is trying to get a new team together made up of lanterns from each of the corps. It starts out a little jumbled and sloppy, but what eventually comes to light is an interesting new team of 'heroes'. In the deeper plot of the book, we are given more clues of a massive change looming for the Green Lantern universe as the Guardians plot the destruction of the corps.
6/10
Green Lantern Corps: The Alpha War - The quality of all the Green Lantern books is consistently good, but this one might be my favorite. John Stewart and Guy Gardner make a great duo and the action is gritty and intense. In this volume, we get rebellion and a major power in the Green Lantern Corps is eliminated, which only signals very, very bad things to come. So far, these Green Lantern stories remind me of the Star Wars prequels with the looming darkness, but without all the really crappy storytelling.
8/10
