With just a smidge less story meat on the bones of its plot, this exciting, visual issue still has tons to offer. A city that has known centuries of peace suddenly has two murders on the docket and a rookie Green Lantern looking for answers. There's so much to like here, starting with the vibrant, kinetic, enthralling visuals from Campbell and Bennett.

The well developed detente between three sentient species is in the balance, held together by a thread that looks frayed from this point of view, and watching that slowly unravel is very engaging. This imaginative, fresh take on both the Lantern franchise and the science fiction procedural is well worth your money and will definitely bring you running back for more. RATING: BUY.
