Great Read August 12, 2008
The story was amazing and the art was even better if that is possible. The character development is great, you learn about and from them, and begin to feel them. The entire scope is absolutely universal. This is definitely one of the best graphic novels in recent years.
Bloody Conclusion to the War August 20, 2008
The Sinestro Corps war heats up with the arrival of Cyborg Superman, The Anti-Monitor and of course Superboy Prime. With a plot based on a prophecy from a 1986 story by Alan Moore, the story continues with the emergence of the Daxamite lantern, Sodam Yat. Imagine Superman combined with Green Lantern and then suped up after becoming the host of ION (some kinda whale looking entity that grants even greater power to one lantern member). The centerpiece of this book is the titanic battle between Yat and Superboy-Prime and it's a barn burner. (just as an aside, Superboy-Prime is now referred to as SuperMAN-Prime because of legal reasons but clearly he is being written as a boy so I refer to him by his old name). In this book Superboy-Prime reestablishes what we learned in Infinite Crisis, that he is just about the nastiest, toughest SOB in the DCU.
It's funny that it's called The Sinestro Corps since Sinestro is probably the weakest of the four top villains. I can't imagine he's more powerful than Superboy-Prime, the Anti-Monitor or Parallax, maybe Hank Henshaw. I would consider this series to be the natural follow up to Infinite Crisis particularly since it features Superboy-Prime heavily and it has a big event feel to it, much more so than 52. The art is very well done and again has that event look with panels jam packed with action and characters.
If I have one complaint about the book it's that it can tend to be a bit overly sappy and some of the moments had me groaning. I suppose the attempt was to balance it out with the extreme violence particularly the blood soaked fight between Yat and Prime as well as the slaughter of Sinestro's Corps by the now unrestrained Green Lanterns. There are hints at an even greater cataclysm yet to come called the darkest night. I always love the interview section that DC has been adding to the end of these compilations and this one is top notch. All in all a well done series.
