Verdict - 4.6

- Green Lantern comics are always a treat to the eyes. The art is normally stellar and the colors are so vivid. This cover is no exception to that. My only issue is the art, it seems like every other panel has Kyle Rayner drawn differently, and in several panels his helmet looks completely bizarre. Otherwise I'm really liking this arc. Kyle is basically trying to master each of the different emotional spectrum and this time it's fear. He unlocks his fear while trying to convince Arkillo that he needs to forget about Sinestro in order to become the "God of Fear" that Arkillo thinks he should be. The side story involves the Star Sapphire Corps telling Carol Ferris that she needs to find Hal Jordan. It seems that Guardians of the Universe are playing the Sapphires in order to find Hal. Overall this is a pretty good arc although it does seem like Kyle is learning the abilities rather fast. I can't wait to see the final battle once he has mastered them and The Third Army.
