A traitor lurks among the Sinestro Corps, and only by delving into the never-before-revealed origins of the team can Sinestro learn the truth before his head ends up on a platter!
Though we do not know who the traitor is, we know what to expect when the main series follows up with this set up in June. That can easily wait when right now the most important thing we could ever get is a better understanding of our cast which should be much appreciated at this point in Sinestro's life span. Cullen Bunn knows what he wants from this series and it is good to see that he knows where and when to address things we need to know. Read Full Review
Sinestro Annual #1 is a bit of a hit and miss as Annuals go, foregoing the traditional route of using these over-sized issue to really propel the series' narrative forward in favor of giving us five short "origin stories". With the confirmation that there is a traitor in the midst Cullen Bunn shifts the focus to providing well crafted, meaningful character studies geared towards regular readers of the title. While it's not what once would expect from an Annual there's plenty here to enjoy despite the lack of a compelling A story. Four out of five lanterns. Read Full Review
Bunn and the art team have crafted a strong issue with Sinestro Annual #1, giving the entire Corps a greater depth going forward. I want to know about these lunatics as much as I do some Green Lantern Corps recruits, and that is saying something. This is an annual that is worth the price of admission for Lantern fans.

This annual actually provides a superb starting point for anyone wondering what the deal is with this yellow ring-wielding horde. Read Full Review
If you're looking for a rip roaring space adventure in this Annual you won't find it, but what you will find is an excellent break from those types of stories so you can get to know the Fear Lanterns you love so much. This was really enjoyable to me because there were a few characters in the Sinestro Corps that I simply didn't like because I knew nothing about them but after reading this, I've gotten a new perspective on these characters and it was a good time while I was being enlightened. Go check it out and get to know your Sinestro Corps. Read Full Review
Annuals are often fun in that they're great vehicles for character exploration, something Cullen Bunn takes to here with gusto. The writer uses the book's over-sized format to delve deep into the Sinestro Corps expansive roster, detailing the histories of many of the Corps more well-known members. Read Full Review
Annuals are a mixed bag, as always, and SINESTRO CORPS ANNUAL plays well to the hardcore fans while trying to push the mythos of these characters and a new story forward. There are some great moments here that will have fans excited, but the overall book is a bit rough since the story really picks up right when it ends. On top of that, there's a few times where the artists of the assigned origin stories just don't fit the book or the character. If you've been a fan of this series, you're going to want to read this but overall, this gets a mild recommendation. Read Full Review
Very cool read. Really liked the art also.
For a book that did nothing but give us a brief biography on Sinestro Corps members and leave us on a cliffhanger, this was a great read. It got to some more personal details about each Sinestro Corps member and how their fall from grace turned them into raw potential to wield a yellow ring. Looking forward to continuing Sinestro after Convergence.
