Why I Bought It
For the conclusion of the Secret of the Indigo Tribe.
What I Liked
The very end of the comic. It brings back a character in a fashion that makes sense. But that was about it of what I liked.
What I Didn't Like
The story is a somewhat conclusion, and it got there by a way that didn't make sense to me. Here you have a band of killers and criminals who just got "offline." Why would their first instinct be to attack the Green Lanterns? Wouldn't they go after the person who held the keys to the prison, Natromo? Maybe it is just convenient that the Green Lanterns were there and why not just go after the person closest to you.
So Natromo can't just start back up the Indigo battery without some sort of spark of compassion from someone who once wore an Indigo ring. Enter Iroque, "the child killer" as she is referred to. She says she feels sadness for what she has done and that is the spark that turns everything back on in an instant for the Indigo Tribe. Now this is weird to me. She would know that the actions she takes would mean that she is enslaved in some regard to the Indigo light. So I'm reading this as her taking the choice of being a slave instead of staying consciously awake of what she did. She is choosing to be ignorant and is only sad because she is remembering the guilt.In fact, the more I think about how this corpse works, the more I just am finding it confusing. Maybe taking a second look at it will be better for me to see the overall picture, but I'm just not getting it.
Also, the Combo-Pack is a little more than just a change of colors. It completely switches around two characters from what the regular cover has versus this cover. I just don't get it, and I'm tired of these combo-pack editions.
Panel to Remember
The very last one. Its the return of a decent character, but more a return of an old event. I'm iffy about it, but the reason why I remember it is because he looks so beefed up that it is funny. I don't get why he would pose like that. And it just doesn't make sense. He looks really awkward.
Grades
Words: 6/10
Pictures: 8/10
Recommend: As a single issue, the only good part comes at the end. As an overall story arc, this is something that can be skipped without any regrets. That's just sad.
Buy Next Issue: If I can only get a combo-pack, then I will be waiting to possibly buy it digitally later on down the road. It is better to read this comic in a trade form, and it shows from single issue to single issue.
