If you have not been reading the Green Lantern titles, you may get lost in this review, but let\u2019s see if I can catch you up to speed. \u00a0\u00a0In the past nine issues of the Green Lantern Corps, they have been in a fight for survival from the \u201coriginal\u201d keepers of the lanterns.\u00a0 It was during this mission, that some of the Corps members where caught and tortured.\u00a0 Two lanterns that were captured would change the course of this title to depths I never imagined.\u00a0 These lanterns are known as John Stewart and Kirrt Kallak.<\/h4>\n

During their captivity, Lantern Kirrt couldn\u2019t take the pain from torture anymore and was about to let their kidnappers know how to break through the Guardians force field on OA (issue 6).\u00a0 Before Kirrt could explain, Lantern Stewart was forced to make a decision.\u00a0 He had to silence Kirrt to save the lives of millions.\u00a0 How did he do this you ask?\u00a0 He broke Kirrt\u2019s neck and silenced him forever.\u00a0 I couldn\u2019t believe what I had just read.<\/h4>\n

In issues 8 and 9, we see that John cannot handle this burden or secret if you will.\u00a0 He attends Kirrt\u2019s funeral and lets his family know he died a hero.\u00a0 He wanted to tell them right then and there that he killed him, but he couldn\u2019t bring himself to do it.\u00a0 Well, the guardians knew about this injustice and activated the Alpha Lanterns to bring justice back to the corps.\u00a0 When they arrived to arrest John, he went willingly and confessed to his deeds.<\/h4>\n

It is in issue 10 that he is sentenced to death.\u00a0 Of course lanterns that were close to John like Guy were furious with this decision. \u00a0\u00a0The Alpha Lanterns even tried to get others to do the execution but Guy wouldn\u2019t have that. He told them they need to do their own dirty work and the Guardians agreed.<\/h4>\n

Towards the end, Guy and other lanterns help Stewart break out of the prison.\u00a0 Problem is John doesn\u2019t want to go, so Guy had to knock him out and carry him.\u00a0 Well, a battle between the Corps and the Alphas was short lived because the Alphas cut the lanterns off their power supply and their rings started to drain. That is how this issue ended.\u00a0 I know I cannot wait until issue 11.<\/h4>\n

This issue left me wanting more.\u00a0 Not only that, I was finding myself getting angry at the decision to kill Stewart myself.\u00a0 I feel he did what he had to do to protect lives. Tomasi\u2019s writing is brilliant.\u00a0 I was pulled in this story from page 1.\u00a0 If you are not reading any of the lantern titles, you need to.\u00a0 Just like with the Batman titles, DC has a hit with the lanterns.<\/h4>\n
