Green Lantern #38

Continues where the last issue left off. As The Red Lantern’s influence takes over Hal Jordan’s mind, Atrocitus explains that without a Green Lantern around, The Blue Lanterns are left defenseless. But Saint Walker proves him wrong by showing his willpower of dodging the ensuing battle by giving Jordon a blue ring to counteract The Crimson Fire. Crossed between two power sources, Hal uses them against The Red’s leader. He asks what’s happening to him to which Walker has no answer.

A subplot on Earth involves Jordon quitting Carrol Ferris’ airline business. She flys off in his craft to be alone, but is taken over by The Star Sapphire once again.

Another sidestory is survived Guardians, that were presumed dead after the Sinestro War, are planting the seeds for Blackest Night. One continues to bleed into The Book of The Black fortelling the future while another has taken hold of an orange ring, setting up the next comic.

Good read from Geoff Johns as always. Time is still there for anyone who’s not following to jump onboard before the big event happens.
