REVIEW BY: Bobby Tilley
Sometimes you get another title come along its just something to cash in on the popularity of a franchise while its hot, and when they announced Emerald Warriors I was excited on two fronts. 1), Peter Tomasi will continue to write Green Lantern Corp. stories and 2), I get less of a gap in my Green Lantern universe because there is another title to keep me happy. This new title has hit the mark two months in a row now and every time it ends I'm gutted!
Now nothing major actually happens during the issue other than following Guy on the beginning of his journey to the unknown sectors. We originally thought this was a solo mission but the Kilowog and Arisa will be joining guy (they don't realise its a secret mission with Ganthet). Sandwiched in between this plot is Arisa's continued guilt and loss of Sodam Yat in the Daxam red sun (not aware of his escape in issue one). There is a gruesome nightmare scene with Sodam melting in front of her!
We also start to see the plans unfold of the alien Zardor, who is kidnapping psychic aliens to build what looks like a giant cosmic eye.
Back to the trio and we see an amazing splash image of Guy, Arisa and Kilowog charging their rings.

| GUY, ARISA AND KILOWOG PREPARE FOR THE JOURNEY AHEAD |
A little bit of tension is seen between Guy and Kiliowog, when his confront him about his little detour to Odym the Blue Lantern planet because he is concerned about the Red blood his spitting up and want to purge it from his system. The issue ends with Guy getting attacked by Bleez sent by Atrocitus in #1.
The story is very well paced and the artwork clean, the coloring continues to elevate the artwork.
SCORE: 4.5
