Picking up where the last volume ended, readers will find the Green Lantern Corps on the losing side of a war that will likely change the way the galaxy deals with justice. The Sinestro Corps, a group that has similar powers to the Green Lantern Corps with a focus on fear rather than order, has set about to destroy the corps in order to take over. Sinestro, once considered the best of the Green Lanterns before he was booted out because of his over-emphasis on fear and violence is out for revenge on a grand scale.

Current and former lanterns jump up to try and prevent Sinestro from getting what he wants, but the cause is quickly looking like it might be lost. Well-known characters in the Green Lantern Corps team up and fight to the death in order to prevent the worst from happening. The question is whether they will have what it takes to stand up to the Sinestro Corps, whose members are willing to do everything to slaughter the enemy and get what they want.

The result will be something that changes what the Green Lanterns stand for and sets up events for the Blackest Night series that was to affect the whole DC Universe in the coming months.

I thought this was a really great ending to the story started in the previous volume. This is another instance in which I am not sure why the publisher didn't just place the whole story in a single book because it could have been handled that way. That doesn't detract from the quality of the story, but it did mess with my patience.

I really liked my introduction to some of the Green Lantern Corps members I wasn't familiar with. I am not as up on this aspect of the DC Universe as the more Earth-based tales, and I thought some of the newer recruits were interesting and complex, which made the story much better. Overall, the two books together really made me have a greater interest in the Green Lanterns as a whole, which I usually saw as being too powerful and a bit boring.
