Art: Fernando Pasarin
Peter J. Tomasi left "Green Lantern Corps" and went on to write another new Green Lantern-related title, "Emerald Warriors". The title features three main characters - Guy Gardner, Ganthet, and Atrocitus - but we get our hands on Guy for this launch issue. But is it as good as the "Green Lantern Corps?"
Unfortunately, it's not. In "Green Lantern Corps" we get to see pretty much the whole corps. And Guy Gardner works well in that book as one of the many supporting characters for the book.
Here, we get Guy for almost the whole issue. Does this mean he's out of the "Green Lantern Corps" title? Anyway, as usual Guy uses his aggressive and reckless methods as a GL to intercept a threat after recording a message. Being aggressive and reckless is what makes Guy who he is. However, we get to see a lot more of that through the whole issue, and it gets tedious.
Gardner makes a pact with Ganthet and his new buddy, Atrocitus, to head onto the unknown sectors to stop and intercept a threat. But Atrocitus sends out Bleez instead. Sodam Yat makes a quick appearance here, unconscious. We'll see where that subplot goes in the future.
Fernando Pasarin's art looks good. I like his Guy Gardner better than Patrick Gleason's when he was still in "Green Lantern Corps". The opening scene is where his art shined the most in this issue. The action looks very dynamic with a strict attention to detail.
Although Guy Gardner does not really work well as a main character (at least for me), the issue ends up well hinting that something big is gonna come in the future. But still, this is not a good start for "Emerald Warriors".
Rating: 2/5
