3.5. Really cool ideas like the Corpse. Some nice mind-bending plot in the end.

The first story in this book is about Guy and a new Lantern meeting a member of a secret black ops faction of the Corps, and the three of them infiltrating the Dominators. There were some pretty confusing parts. I'm not really sure what happened to R'amey Holl near the end of it. But maybe I just missed something. The best thing about this arc, though, was the introduction of R'amey. She's adorable and has a really cool design.
The second part was about a yellow virus on Mogo. This arc was interesting and leads directly into the Sinestro Corps War.

My biggest problem with these comics are the villains. They just are too boring for me. But I have found out that I actually kinda like Guy Gardner so that's interesting.

I'm reading a bunch of Lantern books that lead up to Blackest Night, which I loved when I read while it was coming out. So far, the Geoff Johns books have held up. I like the slow build to the event, and the evolution or de-evolution of the Lantern Corps members and guardians.
This volume, however, was written with some heavy macho dick. An attractive female Lantern has Guy Gardener turn into the cartoon wolf with his eyes popping out and his tongue unwinding into a puddle of drool. And this heavily distracts from the story Gibbons is trying to tell, which is otherwise a perfectly fine preamble to the coming event.
I'm not against the idea of intern-Lantern shenanigans, and Gardener is definitely the lantern most likely to be a misogyinst, but it feels less like an examination of a problematic character, and more like the desperate sexualization of women by a Lonely Man author.
There was more to this story than her sexualization (what was her name? who can remember, she was the sexy lantern who sexily ensnared Guy Gardener with her sexiness). A story about parasites on ongo allowing Corps members to be brainwashed into destroying the Corps from the inside, and ...uhhh...the thing is, every time I try and think of the book, just two or three days after reading it, all I can think of is how poorly written the female character whose name wasn't used enough to stick in my memory, was.
Of the books I've read so far about the buildup to Blackest Night, it is definitely the worst. Skip it, hopefully the next volume will start with a "Previously In" section that renders this whole volume unnecessary.

Lo que lleva haciendo hasta acá Gibbons, sumado a lo que paralelamente escribe Geoff Johns en la serie principal, me parece sumamente entretenido.
No hay muchas dobles lecturas ni nada por el estilo. Simplemente diversión pura y dura, se comienzan a ver retazos de la inminente aparición del Sinestro Corps que poco a poco está enviando a algunos de sus miembros a hacer mella en los Linternas Verdes - específicamente en Mogo- y genera unas cuantas caídas en este bando.
Una sumamente buena continuación de [b:Green Lantern Corps, Vol. 1: To Be a Lantern|645871|Green Lantern Corps, Vol. 1 To Be a Lantern|Dave Gibbons|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1306036517s/645871.jpg|632023] y que ya se encamina al evento principal de esta pasada.

Following Geoff Johns Green Lantern run based off of this list:
https://comicvine.gamespot.com/forums/green-lantern-262/how-complete-are-the-geoff-johns-omnibuses-1800149/
And I'm at the point where GLC issues #7-13 come into it as the set up for this Sinestro Corps war happens. And it's actually pretty good, the writing is consistently surprising. First off, for making me like Guy Gardener, second for keeping the other Lantern characters relevant and interesting, which I was surprised with after the second volume. And third for setting something up (it seems) without beating me over the head. It leaves me very excited for whats to come and I wish my omnibus was here with me right now.
The art is mostly good excuse a few faces that look really honky, and when Gibbons is the one drawing it is much more a classic muscles and boobs style that you may or may not have a problem with.
Overall the first few issues dealing with the corpse section of the Corps were great and the rest was good.
4 stars.
Overall I'm just happy my semester is over and I can read again.

This was one of the better Corp books I've read. Less focued on Guy this time around. Intersting story with Mogo. Pretty enjoyable as a whole.
