Love it! What a page turner! What great art, especially the full page spreads. As much as I like the GL and GLC ones, something about having more than green on them makes these even better!
I really liked when the GL family of comics broke out into the emotional spectrum in Blackest Night. This continuation of those corps is really fun! We get some character advancement and some well-deserved answers about how the orange constructs are sentient. My only nag about this volume is how the enemy, Invictus, is so powerful that he can create and control as he does. Wasn't much origin to his abilities. It left a hole in my mind that cries out to be filled. As is, he's just an omnipotent baddie.
This is just a fun comic, complete with "Thwack, fwoosh, and vroops" aplenty. The volume ends on a cliffhanger and I'm awaiting the next volume to be released on Comixology!

If you’re a fan of Kyle Rayner, this is a must read. Story introduces a great new villain, showcases incredible art with beautiful colors, and great action.

I felt like there was too much assumed knowledge of the backstory that I was missing. It wrapped up in an interesting way, but not interesting enough to make me continue reading the storyline.

The premise of Kyle getting all 7 rings could've been explored further, but it was nice to at least see 1 representative from each Corps arrive to investigate. At times, the art absolutely floored me - especially in space - and the action was done quite well, with colours splashing across the page. Unfortunately, the story kind of lets itself down towards the end, and there wasn't much thematic value - something along the lines of the entire emotional spectrum being needed etc could have been explored.

I was prepared very early to write this off as somewhat goofy and unserious, but by the time I got into the second chapter, I was pretty much sold. This is a fair wild ride overall, with a lot of action from start to finish and not a ton of exposition. It works in that regard, and it was a nice change of pace from the other Lantern stuff I've read so far.
