The Sinestro Corps

Writer Geoff Johns and artist Ethan Van Sciver, the team that brought you "Green Lantern ~ Rebirth" the triumphant return of key Lantern Hal Jordan, are really shaking up the DC universe with there one shot "The Sinestro Corps." For those who have not read this issue, beware this is going to be a major SPOILER ALERT.

Sinestro's sinister return is not only going to threaten the Lantern Corp, but all of the heroes of DC. What has happen thus far is that Sinestro has recruited his own Yellow Lantern Corp, and villains from all over the 52 multi-verses are now in league with the John Waters look-a-like. Recruiting everyone from Cyborg Superman, the Anti-Monitor and a failed attempt at Batman, Sinestro's most genius enlistments was Superboy Prime and believe it or not Kyle Rayner. If you read the Infinite Crisis, you might remember that the whole Green Lantern Corps. took on Primeboy and couldn't stop his reign of terror, resulting in the death of 32 Lanterns. It took two other Supermen to force Prime into Rao, the red sun of Krypton, to give the
Lanterns another opportunity to capture him in a containment field. Unfortunately, Sinestro and his Corp. broke Prime out of Lantern prison and another dozen or more Lanterns are dead.

Rayner is a little more complicated. He wasn't actually recruited but more kidnapped and possessed by the Parallax entity. Pictured below is the new Kyle Rayner/Parralax:



Damn right, cool!

We are sold out of the first printing of the Sinestro Corp one shot, but are expecting a second printing, especially with how monumental this event has already become for the DC universe. Green Lantern 21 continues the saga, with Geoff Johns furthering what will perhaps become his greatest Lantern achievement.

A quick shout-out to my roommate and co-creator of Ghost Rider Munny Keith Parson is necessary. I guarantee Keith is the biggest Green Lantern fan in St. Louis and he has got me really interested in a series I don't normally read. Thanks buddy!

Finally, I leave you with Sinestro's new oath:

In blackest day ... In brightest night ...
Beware your fears made into light.
Let those who try to stop what's right...
Burn like my power ... Sinestro's might!
