Saint Walker is not really convinced that Sinestro has the best intentions and hiring someone like Lobo doesn't make the case any stronger. However, the leader of the Yellow Lanterns might prove him wrong.
Welp, there are things I liked and thing I didn't.
For one, Cullen Bunn does a good a job with segments concentrating on Sinestro due that he shows how smart and capable by presenting interesting scenarios where he uses his skills to convince others (although sometimes he can be pretty delusional about his own intentions which is pretty different from how Geoff Johns used to write him since then he at least was sel-aware).
However, guess what the problem of this issue is?
That's right, Lobo.
Bunn continues his work on the character by, at this point you should know, making him look like a unstoppable badass. At this point is not only predictable but also incredibly forced and almost like he was compensating for something. Oh, and he also manages to seduce other women, yeah, we should totally like him people!
Ethan Van Sciver is in charge of the pencils and his work is pretty fitting for the franchise as usual due to his ability to depict strange scenarios and alien races.
As I said, I'm not sure I can't recommend this issue although, who knows? You might like it.

ResponderBorrarI think that's a pretty unfair summation. I don't think it's so much "let's make Lobo a bad-ass" as it is highlighting his cruelty and sheer ferocity, which the character has in spades, old and new. That, plus it really brings into question Sinestro's intentions. In terms of Lyssa Dak, Lobo didn't "seduce" her. She approached him, though her intentions are equally questionable. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but it almost seems like she wants to use Lobo, maybe as a means of usurping Sinestro.
I dunno, the whole characterization still seems pretty forced.
ResponderBorrarI don't really see how in this issue, especially with Saint Walker and his "flock" being in a very black and almost hopeless situation. The way I see it, anyone short of one's grandma could have taken them on and "won", but even then I use that term loosely. It's kind of akin to kicking a cripple's walker or cane out from under them. Nothing "bad-ass" about that.

BorrarI don't know what book you've been reading, but that did not happen at all.
