Green Lantern #40

Every Green Lantern comic for the last few months has had 'Prelude to Blackest Night' plastered across the top. You may therefore think that these issues are an irrelevant lead in to the main event, but how wrong you'd be. Green Lantern is fantastically written, an incredibly consistent comic from issue to issue. This one is definitely no exception, the entire corps head out to the Vega system to deal with Agent Orange the wonderfully malevolent, and gollum-esque, devourer of power rings that you see pictured here. It's all incredibly high octane stuff from start to finish.

Geoff Johns manages to pull off slightly outrageous Sci-Fi without at any point seeming cheesy. It's a comic that always has you begging for more at the end of each issue and long may it continue.
