I really enjoyed this one. This book is definitely titled appropriately. For much of the green lantern corps existence killing has never been an option. The rings simply will not allow it. This book deals with killing on multiple levels. The first being given a secret assignment that calls for killing and also murders that actually take place within the corps among corp members. I'm slowly beginning to like the different members of the green lantern corps. I already liked Guy Gardner's character already because he played football at the University of Michigan and many times in the art, his constructs have wolverines or the block M in them. But the thing I'm now starting to appreciate is he has his own moral compass outside of the green lantern corps. Whether or not the guardians give him an order or refuse him an order, if they do not match up with his own morals, he will find a way to do what he feels is right, regardless of who gets in his way. Some times that can come across as arrogant and other times just determined. As lore would have it, it is said that Guy has some of the most raw will power in the corps, so much so that his ring is constantly emitting sparks just to restrain and control all of the will power guy has. In this book Natu gets a new partner and we begin to see that she start to feel that she may not be all alone after all. This is book is a very difficult find. I was lucky enough to check out a comic shop on one of my recent work trips and found that the shop actually had a copy. I bough this and Green Lantern Corps: Sins of the Star Sapphire. Both are hard books to come by. So if you are lucky enough to find this book at a reasonable price, snatch it up. Its worth the read.
