So what do you think???
That second page made to look like a scroll is really cool.
Who's the Female 2nd panel on the 3rd page at the bottom?
I really liked the first issue and this looks good as well. I'm willing to give Bunn time to develop where this is going because his Magneto has been amazing so far. And Eaglesham's work just looks great to my eyes
Thought that the first issue was solid enough, the best part of it was Eaglesham' art but Bunn got at least the character right.
I hope this one is an improvement.
I loved #1 and that scroll page looks awesome. Can't wait to pick this up. Love all the GL books right now.
In.
So in.
Nice scope, nice scale, and Sinestro has a ton of mystique.
Retro315 no more. Anonymity is so 2005.

Bunn has impressed me on both Sinestro and Magneto.
Eaglesham's art is among my favorites.
Wait a minute. The Sinestro Corps had a "code?" As in "a code of behavior and moral standards?"
Then how does Sinestro explain what the Sinestro Corp did when he first formed them? What they did to Bleez?
It just seems like DC's trying to retcon in the idea that Sinestro held the Corps to a certain moral standard, with basically nothing to support that.
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
--Lord Alfred Tennyson--
I think the point is that to Sinestro the "code" of the Yellow Lanterns is what he says it is. So anything they did that he didn't order is against the "code". That's what makes the Sinestro character. I don't think it's an objective standard, but rather a very subjective one

Hmmmm. Good point.
I just have this issue with the recent efforts to somehow establish that Sinestro has always been a hero, just a badly misguided one. As far as I'm concerned, he lost that angle the minute he released the Sinestro Corps on the universe.
Oppressing Korugar is one thing. A hero could almost justify that one as a necessary evil. But just look at the horror that the Sinestro Corps has done since their inception. Sinestro said he was fighting against the Guardians? How does inflicting untold suffering on billions of innocent, uninvolved people help that cause? Again, I reference what was done to Bleez. These crimes can't be justified as the actions of a misguided hero. These things are straight-up acts of villainy.
But, I guess you're right. Maybe that's the point. Sinestro remains convinced that he's some kind of moral authority, but his actions are really only "moral" in his own mind. Makes sense enough.
