Art: Fernando Pasarin, Cam Smith
I guess the cover of this issue says it all - Sodam Yat is back! He gets a major development in this issue but it pretty much doesn't meet up with the what the cover says.
Tomasi's work on "Green Lantern Corps" was really outstanding. But I gotta admit his work here is not that good compared to that. He gives most of the book to Guy Gardner, trying to make him likeable. But that's the downside of the book, sadly.
To be honest, Guy Gardner does not really appeal to me as a lead character. He works better in "Green Lantern Corps" because he's just a support type of character. Anyway, Guy and the gang goes on a side trip to Daxam to look for Sodam but to no avail. So they go continue on their journey to look for the "source" of their powers getting drained.
They arrive in planet called Rank and beat up a bunch of aliens. Now, Fernando Pasarin's art is good. However, his aliens don't really look that alien-y. As I've read in another review, his aliens look too humanoid, where the alien-y features are left out to conform to a more humanoid form.
So far, the main story of the book (i.e. draining of their energy) is not that striking and interesting. I'm interested more in Sodam's subplot than the whole plot of the book. Maybe when we finally get to that part this book will become more fun to read.
Rating: 2/5
