GODHEAD, act 2, part 5: The mission to Zamaron and the Star Sapphires yields a shocking secret about the White Lantern, but in this case, knowledge isnt power. Its clear that a strike on New Genesis is imperative, but without a Mother Box, the home of the gods is forever out of reach. Sinestro, however, is not convinced, and a determined Sinestro can be a very bad thing!

    Not much progression in the Godhead saga, but it sure is pretty to look at. Read Full Review

    Sinestro #7 conclude the middle act of GodHead by finding a way to get most of the rest of the cast on New Genesis along with Guy Gardner, Carol Ferris and Kyle Rayner.  While a betrayal that helps land them right where Highfather wants them seems forced, the issue itself is a great read and sets things up for December's conclusion.  It's always a special treat to have Ethan Van Sciver grace the pages of a Green Lantern book and this issue is a great example of why he's the definitive Green Lantern artist, making it easy to overlook some continuity goofs by both the writer and artists.  Four out of five lanterns.

    Sciver has become the definitive artist to draw Sinestro. His small intricate details on Sinestro are astounding and his mannerisms only help but to further enhance Sinestro as a character. Sinestro aside this issue looks gorgeous from start to finish with Van Scivers signature detailing and amazing splash pages. It was a pleasant surprise to see him draw the renegade Lantern again.

    It's great to see Van Sciver tackling Sinestro again in light of his previous work with the character. he brings a bold, cinematic flair to this chapter, though Sinestro's proportions could stand to be more consistent. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Eric Shea Dec 4, 2014

    I found myself a little underwhelmed with this conclusion to Act 2 of GODHEAD.  Where I thought I'd see Sinestro being all epic and badass against the New Gods, all I got was Sinestro and John Stewart bickering and a small fight between Corps'.  It's just not the book I hoped it would be and I found myself bored through most of it.  The main seller here is Ethan Van Sciver taking his pencil to this book and giving us the designs of these characters we all love.  Hopefully this title will do a better job in Act 3.

    Graphic Policy - Edward Wendt Dec 3, 2014

    In the end there are a few neat plot developments in this issue, but the characters are so off-the-mark that it ends up being a distraction from the series, instead of supplementing it. As is always the case, when a storys characters fail then it is up to the plot to carry through, but it ends up being too little and too late to redeem the story here, especially as a sizable part of this issue was eaten up by action sequences which did not move the plot along. Perhaps given the right opportunity and fewer tie-ins to the other titles, this series might stand a better chance to establish its anti-hero in the titular role, but as of now, the lack of focus on this series as an independent story is hurting it.

    I'm not going to call this issue bad because what actually works in this issue really does work well, but it is no where near great. Just meh really. Read Full Review
