Review: Green Lantern-Sinestro Corps War

I just finished Green Lantern: Sinestro Corps War, and I have nothing to say, but...wow. The writing is perfect. The art, better. Brutal. Unforgiving.

SPOILER ALERT/ALERTS
The GL Corps granted lethal force? The battered, bloodied troops standing up to the forces of fear, confident in their power? Kyle Rayner, Parallax? John Stewart's sniper rifle? Hal Jordan harnessing the very power he fights? Flippin' Sinestro? What more do we want from comics? Geoff Johns has created a masterpiece. Sinestro's twisted mind provides insight into his motivation. Arkillo's brutality and savage nature battles with Kilowog's inherent gentleness. The book is a chronicle. A chronicle of a war, told in immaculate detail. And I loved every minute of it.

Five power rings out of five.

DC Reboot Toys at SDCC

The August 31 reboot of DC comics has spurred the creation of some toys. Although I'm not totally behind the reboot, I'm always up for new plastic men. The reimagined versions of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Flash, and Green Lantern (so, the Justice League) have toy representations. See more at ToyArk.

DC Team-Up!

DC and LEGO have partnered and created Hero Factory (build-a-figure) versions of Marvel and DC characters. Namely, Iron Man and Hulk for Marvel and Batman and Green Lantern for DC. I... I'm screwed. I'll buy all of them. My impulse control is lacking. See Toy News International for more.
