The “Wrath of the First Lantern” is taking a familiar path in this issue, as he explores the life of John Stewart, feeding on the emotions of what might have been if key decisions had been made differently. While the idea is getting played out, it does allow for writer Peter Tomasi to look deeper into Stewart’s life than we’ve seen before, and that’s not a bad thing. First Lantern is rather a one-dimensional villain, but the Lanterns he’s torturing get to shine. The art is by Chriscross with Scott Hanna this time, and works well, his John Stewart is convincing.

Recommended.
