Origin of the Species is the final arc on this Brand New Day era of Spider-Man, and the team of Mark Waid and Paul Azaceta are going all out with this one.

Review: Green Lantern Corps #53

Bedard's "Revolt of the Alpha Lanterns" arc just finished last issue, and it proved Bedard to be a great writer for the book. Here comes the first chapter of his new arc, "The Weaponer," and it doesn't fall short to his previous story.

The issue focuses more on the tandem of Kyle Rayner and Soranik, who's role would be essential to the story later on. Judging from this issue, the story seems to build up from the "Sinestro Corps War" as it focuses on Sinestro's relationship with the Weaponer of Qward.
