Cover/Solicit - 4/5

- Would I pick-up the comic based on the solicit/cover alone? Are the alternate covers appealing? Does the solicit/cover portray what happens in the issue?

Art - 3/5

- Do I personally like this artist's style? Does the artist stay true to the characters appearance?

Colors/Ink/Lettering - 3/5

- Does the work blend well with the artist? Is the coloring/inking enjoyable and easy to distinguish what's happening? Can I easily read the lettering?

Layout/Flow - 4/5

- Does the layout of the issue make it easy to read? Does the issue have a good flow of the plot and keep me engaged?

Story - 4/5

- Weighted Triple. How well did the issue further develop the current story? How well did the issue further develop the characters? Did I enjoy reading the issue?

Verdict - 3.7

- The cover for this issue is eye catching with Atrocitus fighting The Third Army. The art for me in this issue was just so-so, it seemed rushed and messy. Even the inks and colors suffered. The overall story follows up the events of the last issue with the Red Lantern Corps fighting The Third Army after arriving on the planet to find their newest recruit. Once the battle is completed they take the corpses of The Third Army to recharge the Red Lantern Power Battery. To find out more information about The Third Army, Atrocitus sends his Corps to investigate and sends Rankorr and Bleez to Earth to investigate Stormwatch. The issue's pacing was okay and I feel the story helps tie in to the Rise of the Third Army arc. Even though some of the information is already known, it's nice to see a book not exclude the readers who may not pick up every Green Lantern title.
