[Nathaniel · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'll say after last issue I expected more of a story progression than we got here. Then again, the issue definitely answered some questions I had after last month. The pacing is a little odd - it still feels like we're setting up the premise of the book as opposed to running with it. I did enjoy the callbacks to GL history, the further development of the relationships between the Oa lanterns, and the new characters that were introduced. I'm also hoping certain Lantern casualties that happened off-panel weren't who I thought they were (if they're truly gone, I would've appreciated more of a send off). Still curious to see where things are heading.

I don't know... it's a fine comic, and it advances the broader story. However, the artwork is atrocious. Worth continuing, but not worthy of effusive praise. Hopefully the overall product is better than this single part.
