Emotional Color Spectrum

Well I don’t know what to really say about this issue. I am loving the Sinestro Corps back-ups but the main story was just okay. I don’t know if I like the idea that Carol is divorced or not. Hal Jordan is the most boring of the GL’s I have realized. Oh well, he is the star now I guess. The Zamarons were visually stunning. Acuna’s art was suited for this type of story but he should not be the regular artist and luckily, I don’t think he is. I am excited for the Sinestro Corps special and the the Sinestro Corps War. It looks like it will be a lot of fun. Also, seeing the colors of all of the emotional spectrum was pretty cool. I wonder which was which? I know Green is Will, Yellow is Fear, and Pink is Love…but what are the rest? Maybe Johns will reveal that someday but until then we can just guess.

The Origin Of Star Sapphire

I enjoyed Acuna’s art this issue for some reason. That was odd. I also really am enjoying this arc. Hal Jordan might not be my favorite Green Lantern, but they mythology of the Green Lanterns is always interesting. This issue, we delve deep into their mythology when Carol Ferris recites the origin of the Star Sapphire. I remember reading somewhere that this was a retcon, but I don’t see it as much of one. I mean it is pretty similar to everything I have read when it comes to the Zamarons creating the Star Sapphires. I think the only retcon is the idea that the Zamarons do it to establish love in the universe. I do not quite understand that. They think love is putting a world in suspended animation? That makes no sense. Hopefully, this idea will be more clear in future issues.

The Return Of Star Sapphire

One of Green Lantern’s most famous villains, Star Sapphire, returns in this issue. Once again possessing Hal’s old flame Carol Ferris and eventually possessing his current flame, Cowgirl. This was an okay issue. Nothing really to write home about. The costume on the cover is hideous, luckily inside it is not the same artist. Acuna’s art is weird though but you get used to it. I think his art fits Green Lantern better than it fits anything else. I hope Carol doesn’t become a permanent member of Hal’s supporting cast again because Carol and Hal are one of the few comics couples that have managed to move on from eachother. That is all that can be said by the main story. The back-up is a lot more fun and deals with the new Sinestro Corps. The art is much better because well, it is Dave Gibbons and not Daniel Acuna. Plus I mean an evil sentient virus as a member of the Sinestro Corps….Geoff Johns, you rule!
