Green Lantern Corps #47

Here we have a good example of a "mopping-up" story, as this issue of Green Lantern Corps deals with all the loose ends left behind after the conclusion of the Blackest Night series (or at least the Oa-related ones).

So we see lots of clean-up, memorials, mending fences, new job assignments, a few confrontations and some general housekeeping.

As such, this isn't the greatest jumping-on spot for new readers (although the next issue should manage that nicely), but it does supply a good finale to the run by writer Peter Tomasi.

The art by Patrick Gleason is also very good, though a bit uneven since four different inkers worked on his pencils. But I really like that splash on page two.

So, a solid issue, everything's ready for the next round of stories, and the Green Lantern Universe is getting ready to add yet another title: Green Lantern: Emerald Warriors.

So thanks to the Blackest Night and the ongoing GL title, business is obviously good in Oa.

Grade: B+
