Green Lantern #22
The Sinestro war continues and it becomes obvious that unless you're reading Green Lantern Corps you're missing out since there are references to it in the opening pages. Something this big, the two titles can't act like they're in a void from each other, so kudos for that.
So what do we get this issue? Kyle beats up Hal for a little bit, the Lost Lanterns arrive and we get some kind of idea what Superboy Prime and Cyborg Superman are in this for. The former obviously has designs on Earth and the latter just wants to finally die. At the end the Lanterns divide up and it ends with Hal and co. running into the evil Sinestro librarian.
Maybe I shouldn't be reading this title after I read Nova, but I'm feeling a little underwhelmed by the Sinestro war so far. Its cool enough in its own right, don't get me wrong, but I feel as if the opening shots in the Sinestro special were a bit more dramatic than what we've seen so far.Still, the night is young and the story is I assume still in its early stages and seeing as how there's nothing really wrong with this issue as far as I can see, so I won't hold that against it.
4/5
Annihilation Conquest: Wraith #2
Hey, its the Super Skrull, and he's not in good shape. So we learn a bit more about what it is to become a select and the inner workings of the Phalanx which I personally found pretty helpful. We also get Wraith's origin which is largely what I expected it to be. Not crazy about the pain thing, especially with a character like Penance running around but whatever.
This issue felt like a step up from the previous one and I at least enjoyed it.

Army of Darkness: From Ashes #1
I primarily picked this up because I enjoyed the Marvel Zombies vs. Army of Darkness crossover and decided to give the title a shot. I enjoyed the opening pages and the nice little nod to the original ending of AoD made me smile, but after that the comic sort of lost me. I couldn't place my finger on it, but it did.
I'll probably pick up the second issue and decide if I'll waste my time with it but for now 3/5 to the first issue.
That's it for me this week, I read Countdown but I've got nothing else to say about that book that hasn't been said, so I guess I'm done.
