Man, what a bummer. I'm a Kyle Rayner fan, but his popularity is too low in comparison to Sinestro these days. Not only does Sinestro repeatedly kick the crap out of Kyle, but Sinestro actually ends the fight on a "mercy rule" since it is so easy for him to beat him. Kyle has always been a normal guy made good, but I would have liked to have seen him do a little better. Oh well.It is interesting that Tony Bedard gives Sinestro such a prominent role in this story since he doesn't actually get involved in rescuing his daughter. I have to assume he'll show up later. For now, I'm much happier seeing Kyle, Ganthet, Boddika, and John Stewart show up to take on the Weaponer.
We see more of the Weaponer's background, and I was kind of amused that his story is sort of sad, but it is hard to be too sympathetic with the Qwardian's warlike culture.
Tyler Kirkham's art makes quantum leaps in this issue. Had this been his first GLC issue, I would have been a lot more excited about him. The detail in many of the panels is great, the splash page of the Weaponer's home really tells a lot about the character. All of the figures seemed a lot tighter too, their looks were more of Kirkham's design rather than carrying over the previous artist's take.
Fair
