Green Lantern Corps - #37

Green Lantern Corps - #37



Synopsis: Inside the red sun of Daxam, Sodom Yat uses his Ion power to turn it yellow :O Mongol watches while being told by his minions that the Daxamites are now super powerful.

On Daxam, the Daxamites who were with Sodom and Arisia are going out of control with their new powers and Arisia has to encase them in bubbles. Sodom's father tells her that they need to take their revenge on the Yellow Lanterns but she says they have to be patient and train first and then they will retake the planet! :D

In space, inside the boot of the Anti-Monitor (xD), Ash, the vampire slaying Green Lantern, is slaying vampires when Saarek, the GL who speaks to dead ppl, shows up. :O Saarek tells Ash that Ash's wife does not want him running around killing vampires to avenge her death and wants him to stop. Ash tells Saarek to shut up and doesn't believe he's actually talking to his wife. :o They then ask what the other is here for and discover that they both have been sent by the sekritly!ebil!Guardian to find the Anti-Monitor's corpse :O Saarek senses the dead calling from a black desolate place and they go off together...

On Oa, the sciencell riot rages on as GLs try to contain the rampaging Yellow and Red Lanterns :O Guy Gardner is saved from a YL by a RL carrying a giant axe. He then saves the RL from a YL. RL, in Klingon like fashion, declares that he still hates Guy and will kill him later. xD

Kyle Rayner convinces Kanjar Ro to help the GL contain the riot in exchange for Kyle asking for leniency on Kanjar's sentence from the Guardians. :]

In the chaos the Sinestro Corps Bookkeeping Girl gets her ring to find the book of the Sinestro Corps. :o It leads her into Oa where she finds the Big Black Book Of Evil Doom :O She starts to read it but then sekritly!ebil!Guardian shows up behind her and shoves her INSIDE one of the pages, trapping her... :O

Back outside, the GL recruits demand to be allowed to fight in the riot and with their collective willpower are able to break through the bubble encasing them and they rush in only to be met by bloodthirsty Sinestro Corps members! :O Before the YLs can do nething tho, they are killed by the Alpha Lanterns who have shown up! O_O;;

They instruct all the GLs to initiate Phalanx Directive which apparently is to encase all the escapees in a giant green shell xD

Inside Oa, sekritly!ebil!Guardian says it's time and the door needs to be open :o Black stuff flows out of her and the giant Lantern thingie that encases Oa starts to crack and explode! :OOOOO

To be continued >.>;;

Review: That sounded pretty silly actually now that I've wrote it out. xD But it's pretty fun and I think they did a rly good job with the riot and making it look rly chaotic and action packed! :D Plus I ALWAYS love it when bad guys help good guys in these situations xD Esp with Klingon Red Lantern guy xD I just have such a soft spot for those types of chars >.>;;;

"I WILL kill you after I kill all the ppl trying to kill you!"

AWWWWW

*gives him a hug*

Aren't you an adorable warrior cliche? :D

I'm confused about what happened to bookkeeping girl tho :o She got put in the book... I didn't know ppl could do that.. is she dead now or just trapped or like.. coming back as a Black Lantern? o_O;; I guess we'll see! I kinda WANT to like her, I guess cuz she kept being pushed as a fairly major char in the SC War plot, but we never actually did rly find out much about her, but I find her intriguing so I hope she returns :) I guess I kinda want to like her... or.. hate her.. or whatever it is I'm supposed to feel for villains... XD

I rly enjoyed the story tho, and I think part of that is cuz they showed so little of the Daxam plot and so much of what's going on in Oa :D I dunno, I just find Sodom and Arisia boring in general, or at least I'm not interested in their chars as much as I am with like Guy or Kyle or even vampire hunting guy and dead speaking man >.>;; Plus I just found the whole Daxam plotline kinda blah :\ I guess cuz of everything else going on with Blackest Night and the scarred Guardian and all the build up, that it just seems like Sodom and Arisia vs Mongol for the fate of Daxam is like the European Title match on a Royal Rumble card or something (I might be dating myself, does the ET even exist nemore? XD) But it's just like, it doesn't feel like it rly matters... or that it's just kinda filler until Sinestro shows up and tosses Mongol into a black hole xD (I dun find kid Mongol intriguing either >.>)

On the flipside, I did rly enjoy the interaction between Ash and Saarek (tho I would have enjoyed it more if it was Pokemon Ash and Spock's dad XD and an extra A floating around >.>;;; ) XD We haven't rly gotten to know these two chars very well since they were introduced.. at least *I* haven't, I have no idea if they had a ton of characterization before I got into comics xD and it was rly nice to have a quiet moment (esp in between all the chaos on Daxam and on Oa) to have these two chars talk a bit and get some nice character moments. :] I like that they are both kinda loners but are now going to be journeying together on the same quest :D I can't wait to see more of them :)

And yus, the ending was nifty... like, yeah it's the generic kinda cliffhanger, and I dun rly know the significance of the giant outer shell of Oa cracking apart, but I still can't wait to find out what happens b/c I know this is Blackest Night finally starting and even tho yeah, it's another super mega crossover, at least I understand what's going on and it's silly but fun in a summer blockbuster kinda way (which I think it was basically advertised as one) so I can't wait for the funness chaos! :D At least I hope that's what's coming xD After Final Crisis I could use some simple fun action in my Super Mega Crossovers :D

Um... yus.. so that's it I guess... yay! :] As I said, it's a bit silly when I actually write it out and look at it, but it was also fun to read and I thought the riot scenes esp were fun and laid out well :D

Angelwings Rating: 4 out of 5 cliffhangers of OH NOEZ doom! xD

Recommendation: If you're alrdy following the plot, definitely get this :] If not but you want to get into GL and GLC before Blackest Night starts, this is a fun issue to start and also it appears to be the issue that kicks things off big time :D
