Green Lantern: New Guardians #3

Well I guess there is a colored Lantern that contains all the colors, and its kinda gray instead of white or black. Interesting.

I enjoyed this issue. Besides some weirdness with the art that went through the issue, I really felt like there was something that was at stake in this issue. We get an explanation for why the Orange Ring wasn't all well represented in the last issue to the degree that I took issue with. And I personally think that Glomulus deserves the new character of the year award.

This issue also makes the Guardians seem even more evil by making them as power hungry as crack addicts. They just need more and more and more. The art does a good job of making them look like creeps. Serious creeps.

And just when things look totally down, we get Larfleeze back into the picture. If there was anything that would guarantee that I buy the next issue, then this is the way to do it. I loved the Agent Orange character so much before and have been waiting to see him make his appearance again in the new 52 universe. It won't be Geoff Johns writing the character, but I think that Larfleeze is such a good character to write that there will be little that a new writer could do to screw him up.

My one complaint about this issue is the fact that you could tell when the art took a turn for the worse. I hope that things get worked out by the next issue. It can be strange to already look at alien creatures and get the idea of who is who, but when the art changes and you see what looks like the same character later in the issue but has definitely been drawn differently and you couldn't tell at first if it was really the same character...well then you know you have some problems.

Words: 8/10

Pictures: 6/10 -one artist per book please, unless there is a dream sequence or some other fundamental difference in the story that having a different artist makes sense.

Recommend: You would need some info from the previous issue, but there isn't much out of the ordinary that you wouldn't already know. The story does an excellent job of getting newbies up to speed.

Buy Next Issue: With a cliffhanger like that? You bet!
