Every time I pick up something with the Red Lantern corps in it, I get a little nervous and hesitant. It's a solid property overall but one that definitely has to be handled right in order to make it work well. Peter Milligan definitely "gets" it and he's worked this crew of characters just right here, making those that you wouldn't think would be interesting to instead be fascinating. There's a superficial aspect to the Corps itself with these kinds of characters, but he's made them engaging in their rage and back stories that powers them. This volume puts us through a number of very strong stories with the overall arc of the power battery dying out because of treachery. Whether it's the new characters like Jack Moore or the more established ones, including Atrocitus, there's so much going on and such an intensity to it through the dialogue and artwork that it's a very fast but very engaging reading session that left me wanting more right away.
