So after an exciting weekend at c2e2 and a little recuperation, it was great to get back to the low-key atmosphere of my local comic shop, Keith’s Komix. We talked about c2e2, our likes and dislikes, but we all agreed that it was, overall, a really great Con. We also hope to attend again next year and Serena hopes to have a table there as well. This week’s pick up is full of great reading for the weekend!

A BRIGHTEST DAY tie-in! Exploding out of BLACKEST NIGHT comes the next exciting chapter in the Green Lantern mythos: “New Guardians”! Forced together during the rise of the Black Lanterns, Hal Jordan, Sinestro, Carol Ferris, Saint Walker, Atrocitus, Indigo-1 and Larfleeze must agree to disagree if their next mission is to succeed. But when one of the strangest beings from Green Lantern’s past returns, the future of the Lanterns and the universe at large once again falls into question.
