Green Lantern Corps, Volume 5: Emerald Eclipse by Patrick Gleason, Rebecca Buchman, Peter J. Tomasi
crookedtreehouse's review against another edition

This was a fun lead-in to Blackest Night, mostly due to the focus on Sodam Yat/Ion. His origin seems vastly different from those of Hal Jordan, John Stewart, Guy Gardener, and Kyle Rainer, which is refreshing. He's from a race of absolute bigots who deny other species exist. When he, as a child, discovers a hurt alien, and hides and protects the alien, his parents find out, psychologically torture their son into thinking the alien attacked him, then defile the alien's corpse to make him look threatening in a musem devoted to how dangerous aliens are.
So when the Sinestro Corps show up and decide to make the plane their base of fear, Yat's mom steals the long dead alien's spaceship and flies to her son begging for help. He's not thrilled to see her.
I recommend this mostly as just a solid part of the buildup to Blackest Night, but it's also a great intro to Sodam Yat, who will be a major Green Lantern character during the New 52 era of the title.

It was alright, I'm still getting use to the whole Green Lantern storyline..but I'm having issues with the personalities of some of them. Seriously annoying, and what is suppose to be some cool one liner turns out to be kind of stupid but overall it's interesting.
