Hal Jordan may be Earth's best-known Green Lantern, but he's not alone. He is just one of the Green Lantern Corps, an intergalactic police force, each of whom protects his or her space secret from evil with the aid of a power ring capable of anything its wearing can imagine.
In this new GREEN LANTERN CORPS volume, the powerful and beauteous Zamorans, led by their queen, Star Sapphire, have a new mission: to "cure" the evil Sinestro Corps by forcibly infusing them with love. |

| With the Sinestro Corps war having ended, we can move onto more important things, like Guy Gardner and Kyle Rayner opening an intergalactic bar on Oa (called Warriors). However, the yellow-ringed Sinestro Corps still wander the universe and strike at the Lanterns' families. A new corps, the Star Sapphires emerges, from the Zamarons, immortal beings who split from the Guardians millennia ago since they believe in the power of love to heal while the Guardians value logic and reason and seek to shut out the emotional spectrum entirely. Yellow Lantern Kryb appears, and she's far scarier than the Quintet seen in the "Eye of the Beholder" storyline. The third law is enacted, forbidding romantic relations between lanterns, and this potentially will affect Kyle and Soranik Natu, Guy and Tora, Hal Jordan and...everyone else. |
Art, once again takes away from story!

| I know I'm in the minority because I have read many positive things about Patrick Gleason's art work on Green Lantern Corps, but I have such a hard time enjoying it. It is sometimes so difficult to distinguish who is who in panels and the action is way too hard to follow at times, and that's a shame because Peter J. Tomasi's story here is really good. The Sinestro Corps member Kryb is disturbingly creepy, and the Star Sapphires are becoming more and more interesting each time we see them. My only beef with the writing is my dislike for Guy Gardner, but that's not Tomasi's fault. Overall, the book is good but could have been great with better art like Luke Ross's to start this collection. |
Nice Prelude

While the Green Lantern Corps can be an action movie in print form, this is not one of those times.
The bottom line is this. You are interested in this book because you are a Green Lantern/Corps fan already, or you are interested in the ongoing/upcoming event that is "Blackest Night"
"Sins" is by NO means an action movie. Instead it almost tells the tale of not one but two noir detective thrillers in space. Being more of a whodunit than "explosions everywhere" can make any outer space epic slow down, but this one is well done.
It gets pretty thick with the Sapphire ideology of love at times, and if you don't otherwise know the character back stories it might be hard to follow along.
As far as Blackest Night, it does little to advance/build up that story in the slightest, aside from showing you the Sapphires conversion to an official ring-wielding corps.
