Month 1: Boy, was I wrong

Green Lantern Corps #1 W: Peter J Tomasi A: Fernando Pasarin I: Scott Hanna
A Foamasi wrote this book? Cool! Let's all head off for Argolis!
No, it's our old friend Peter Tomasi again. Don't worry, I can't think of any other comical mispronunciations of his name so this will probably be the last one.
MAHNKELIPS COVER WARNING - actual comics contains no Doug Mahnke and only four of the characters on the cover. Which is nice.
I actually quite like this. It's by far the most traditional book of the relaunch (GLs turn up on planet where random genocide has taken place to attract their attention must have been done dozens of times before) but is pulled off pretty well. The establishing stuff with Guy Gardner and his interview (or rather the sequence in the waiting room before it) is, dare I say it, a joy and really lifts the book in a way most others in the relaunch (particularly this week) fail to.
Nothing really to say about it other than you should give this a shot, as on this evidence it's worth sticking with.
