Green Lanterns #6



Green Lanterns, Issue #6 is the sixth issue in the "Rage Planet" arc.  I believe Green Lanterns: Rebirth, Issue #1, along with Green Lanterns, Issue #1 through Issue #5 are collected in the first trade paperback,although the story seems to resolve in this issue, meaning that the projected issues to be collected are wrong.  Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz are the only people who can stop the Red Lanterns from creating a Red Dawn on Earth.  The Justice League is defeated, and Jessica Cruz can't even make a construct with her ring.

One of the many things I like about this comic is how it shows the characters' thoughts as well as their words.  These are often at conflict.  Simon Baz's narration is differently lettered than Jessica Cruz's, and in the coda on Ysmault, Bleez and Atrocitus have a conversation where Bleez is hiding her experience escaping from rage, and Atrocitus could never know about it, or else he'd kill her.
