Synopsis : Munk tells Vath that the Black are dominating and destroying all of the home worlds of all the emotional spectrum lanterns. He tells him that that The Sapphire Battery is gone and if they don't work together Oa and The Green Lanterns will be next.
They fight the Corphans and their dead Lantern parents. Munk says that The killings by The Black are to fuel their own battery for a purpose and to increase their army of death. He takes The Green Light and destroys every BL in sight, Munk is badass ! Suddenly we get a shot of 100% Power levels.
Elsewhere, Kilowog's mentor is about to kill Kilowog but as soon as levels hit 100%, he flies off not killing him. That's dumb actually, don't like the way that played out, seems like a cop out. Kilowog gets up and gives a beautiful and stirring speech to The Black Lantern (former Green lanterns) about how death was all a part and all lanterns die. The shot of him in dismay as the Black Lanterns rush to the Power Battery was beautiful.
We are back to Kyle-Jade-Soranik with Soranik's hand down Jade's mouth. She tells him she felt no fear from that puppet light show and it would not destroy with what she..... Kyle corrects her and says "What we have". So Sweet. Jade breaks out and is flying elsewhere. Kyle is surprised and wonders where is headed off to. The answer is obvious.........
Oa's Last Stand.
Guy says that they will die fighting as all the Lanterns including Munk, Kyle and Kilowog get together ready for Final battle ! Salaak orders all the Lanterns to converge at The Central Power Battery for defensive action in order to stop The Black. Guy is happy that with "Indigo Man" help they might be able to stop them from rising after all. The Black Lanterns create a Crazy-Ass Dark Matter construct and try and sever the foundation of the battery. Rayner asks Salaak to release Sciencell 8985. They release Red Lantern Vice and Kyle orders Natu to take Munk away from the battle. Vice destorys The Black with ease but an Alpha Guardian who cant compromise his duty kills Vice ! Damn.
Alpha Chaselon is defeated by The Black Lanterns and before his internal battery can be compromised Kyle takes it from The dead hands of The Corphans. As he flies off a huge army Of Death follow him (which he is hoping for).He creates an Energy dome, The Alpha Lantern is about to Detonate. He tells Soranik that he loves her and tells Guy that he has been like a brother to................
The Alpha Battery explodes as we conclude with..........
Kyle's Sacrifice
Review : Wow, this issue was a very emotional one for me. The Love between Kyle and Natu finally showed itself and I absolutely loved that moment she had with Jade. Damn, I Love Kilowog too, His words and that shot of his dismay while the Black went for The Central Battery showed how his whole life was The Green lantern Corps and how much he loved and respected his job as Trainer. Guy was great too. Salaak finally joined the party. A Little unhappy how The Alphas are always shown to be stupid and arrogant pricks though. The end was very emotional as Kyle is my favorite Green Lantern and I loved how he selflessly sacrificed himself, him saying he loved Soranik was so well done. However I am sure the death wont last , hope they don't butcher what was a beautiful issue. He couldn't even complete his words to Guy. Guy is going Red for sure. Unfortunately, Kyle did not kill anyone. Did Munk use his light as an assist ? If not , Its a Damn shame..
Patrick Gleason's art was amazing in this issue. I loved The spreads. Thumbs up and hope to see more. Very happy with Story development finally coming into The Battle For Oa.
