Conceptually, this three-part mini-series is promising; delve deeper into the back-stories of some of the major players in the various ring corps of the Green Lantern Universe.  However, put simply, it sucked.

Three stories share this issue, the Blue Lantern Corps’ Saint Walker origin tale, an annoying yarn about an adolescent Mongol, and a tease about the Indigo Tribe.  Geoff Johns’ Saint Walker is a belabored attempt to show what it takes to really hope; it was preachy and boring.  The Mongol tale was a waste of paper.

I was most exciting to learn about the Indigo Tribe (one of the reasons I bought this issue).  At best, it’s a cheap tease that last for a few pages.  While it boasts the strongest art of the three stories, we only learn that the Indigo Tribe speak a language unknown even to the Green Lanterns.

This is an oversized issue of nothing special.
