    Nice touch with showing their pasts and work building has been solid throughout the series.

    This issue was a blast. King did a very great job at flashing out the background of the characters as well as political world in just one issue. Kyle's moment was great and that last page was pure feels. Extremely well done.

    Solid. There was some pretty good worldbuilding here, I really like when King explores other civilizations.

    I still feel like the whole religious angle for Kyle is pretty forced but fortunately is not as obtrusive as in previous chapters.

    Well, that explains the whole genocide bit about DOC on the wanted poster.

    Wow -- that just turned things up to eleven. Really grim, but really well done. What a dilemma for Kyle.

    Strong stuff. I think everything is now pretty clear or I'm forgetting something?

    Man, King is crafting something special here. Not a big fan of Kyle suddenly being religious but it goes along with the themes in the story. The power and sometimes danger of symbols, traditions, religion, tribalism, etc.

    It really, AND FINALLY, answered "Why do the Omega Men need Kyle Rayner?" but to be honest, as clearer as things got, Kyle answer as to whether he was agreeing to play terrorist and detonate his Ring ended up muddled to me. Was it a yes, no, or wait and see?

    Review.

    I don't think Kyle knows what he's going to do yet, it's not an easy decision.

    This series is so great, I can't wait to see how things will play out. I loved seeing the back story to the characters in this issue, some powerful stuff, the Scrapps and Doc stuff especially. I wonder if she knows what Doc did.

    Yeah, I don't think Kyle knows what he's going to do either but I can't wait to see what he ultimately decides to do. Overall I thought this was great issue full of depth and powerful character moments.

    Man, this is such a great series so I'm sad its ending so soon.

    I think she does. Everyone seams aware who is responsible fore genocide so it would be weird if Doc could just brush it aside with "oh hey, was just wandering around and found you, real story" argument.

    Another great issue. The reasons The Omega Men need Kyle really amped things up for the series. DOC's backstory was chilling.

    Saw something on Reddit asking why the ring was green in the beginning of the series but white the other times. Was it a coloring error? I don't know much about Lanterns but someone suggested it's because the white ring can tap into all the colors. Someone care to elaborate for me?
