Inspect Sinestro, Vol. 2: Sacrifice Interpreted By Cullen Bunn Released As Ebook

half of a story, Actually, closer to/of a story, The pieces don't really go together, and lots is left hanging, making me wonder yet again why DC feels compelled to release these volumes in a fashion that does not provide the overall story in any comprehensible fashion.

The whole Green Lantern/New Gods conflict seemed really stupid to me in general, and just seeing these pieces of it doesn't help at all, The best part of the collection is the Annual, which provides some back stories for a few yellow lanterns, and even they're not particularly good, This is a volume I read just to be able to say I've read it, Cullen Bunn's hamstrung here, and it shows, At least Becca gets a few moments to provide some semblance of a conflict for Sinestro, But that's about all beyond admittedly good artwork throughout this volume has to say for itself, A fun read. A huge chunk of the book is dealing with the Godhead storyline so it doesnt really work unless youve already read the story as its three issues from different points in the storyline.
The rest is good. If not for the stopgap tiein issues with the Godhead event, this could well jump tostars, I'm kind of surprised how good this series is, for the rough charisma lent to Sinestro as well as the fleshing out of his Corps, Bekka makes a powerful addition to the team and story, I am not sure why the DC editorial staff doesn't take a page from the Marvel crossover tie in book of etiquette, Modern Marvel crossover tie ins tend to tell a complete story, that make sense within the context of the series you are reading, DC just doesn't seem to care about that, You can read a trade and have no idea what the hell is going on, since there is no recap between issues, no explanation for what happened in the other crossover books.
You are given fragments of a story and told to make sense of it, It is probably my second biggest pet peeve of comic book stories,

I will give him this, though I thoroughly enjoyed the single issue that showed the backstories of the various Sinestro Corps members, That was pretty fantastic. Jest o wiele lepiej niż w poprzednim tomie, Soranik pokazała, że nie boi się swojego staruszka, a ten musi zacząć lepiej dobierać sojuszników, bo Korugarszlag trafi, Ciekawe co dalej. Ah yes, back to how I remember Green Lantern and DC comics, you can't just read the series you're interested in, you have to pick up all of the others to get the full story.
I'm reading SINESTRO because I like SINESTRO not Green Lanterns not Red Lanterns not Superman or whatever other generic hero you want to throw in there, Reading issues in order leaves huge gaps and jumps around to random things that will mean nothing to you, I tried reading Brightest Day and suffered through stories about heroes and corps I didn't care about but I have no interest in doing it again, DC isn't capable of making strong standalone stories within the Green Lantern universe and that's just completely lame, Make the story about Sinestro and Sinestro's world, keep it self contained within the issues entitled Sinestro and I'd still be reading regardless of what generic enemy there is, or how cheesy everyone sounds, but nope.
Instead we have only fragments, cardboard villains, and a pathetic cast of heroes, I expect more from comics now, it's a new era but apparently DC didn't get the message,it was ok. It could have been aor evenstar volume except it suffers from DC cross over syndrome, The story just keeps leaping past the parts that are covered by other comics, I'm assuming I need to read the main Green Lantern Title and probably one of the Green Lantern Corps titles, I didn't see the red lanterns at all in this story but it doesn't mean a big chunk is covered there,

Sinestro is a Villain who thinks he is a good guy, If they actually let him have his own story instead of tying it back into the main green lantern story it might be great title, He is smart. He is stupid powerful now that he is the master of Parallax, He is ruthless. This is a recipe for some great anti hero story telling but it just doesn't materialize, A partial arc and an unfinished arc that really should have been the core of the book! I'm getting a bit bored commenting on how DC are useless at collecting multiseries crossovers, so just assume my usual complaints have been filed and we'll move on.


Once Sinestro gets out the other side of Godhead, he and the other Yellow Lanterns come into conflict with Mongul and War World, picking up on a rivalry established long ago before the Newbegan.
Considering Sinestro doesn't spend much time in battle in these three issues, it's nice to get right into his head and see just how good he is at manipulating others, and how well he knows his own Corps so that they play their parts exactly as he expects.
The Annual that wraps up this trade has a nice cliffhanger, and delves into the backstory of a lot of Corpsmembers that have been hovering around the spotlight but not quite in it.


Sinestro is one of two Lantern titles continuing after Convergence, and whilst the first few issues weren't really strong enough to justify that, I'd say that this second arc goes a long way towards doing it.
star rating for the latter half of the book, The beginning is part of a massive crossover and simply doesn't make sense as you go through the trade, DC Comics really needs to fix these volumes which is are apart of a crossover, Either give us a summary of what happened between each issue or just don't include the crossover issues at all, Fantastic in it's execution.

World: The art is bordering between fantastic and ugly for me, On one hand the power of the ring and the splash pages are brilliant, on the other hand the facial expressions are a bit off, The world building is great, It's dense, interesting and supports the story and characters, The pieces pulled back all the way from Sinestro Corps War is great,

Story: For a three issue arc it's paced wonderfully and fast, The story is exciting and full of amazing character moments, The dialogue is very strong and well written, The direction this series is heading is good and unexpected, This creative team has made a very well written and viable series,

Characters: Sinestro is great, He's deep and complex and we have just enough of mustache twirling for it to be great, The rest of the cast is also strong, though I am still waiting for Natu to do something of note, Bekka is a great addition,

Very strong character work makes this a wonderful read, Who would have thought!

Onward to the next book! I almost gave this astar but luckily the second half of this book is much better.


See, the first half is the Godhand storyline, Which may be good haven't read it yet but you know what's not good Only gettingpart of apart story, It's confusing and messy and makes little sense in the way it flows, Thend half is back to a normal storyline and Sinestro is ready to face his rival, Mongol, while also dealing with someone on his team betraying him.


Overall, after the messy first half, this recovers nicely, While not as entertaining as volumewe do get some pretty great fights, Sinestro being a smart SOB, and a shocking cliffhanger which leaves us guessing who.
Overall, it's still fun and I'll read the final two volumes, Aout of. I was intrigued with volumeand was excited to see where it went,

Unfortunately, the answer was an overly long New Gods crossover and a random loyalty sub plot, And that annual what a brick. Kind of an inconsistent volume of Sinsetro Corps adventures, Something is brewing beneath the surface, but mostly it's a rehash of of some sort of "power through fear" mantra, with a little bit of "I'm the best so shut up" thrown in to break the tension.
Art, on the small scale was good, but on the larger scale of battles and big action, often left me wondering just what was going on, Two volumes left in the series, Disjointed. Not that good compared to the first volume, I liked this better than the first volume, Jeżeli miałby powiedzieć coś dobrego o drugim tomie przygód Sinestro to to, że lider Żółtych Latarni praktycznie kradnie wszelkie sceny, Niestety bynajmniej nie dlatego, że jest tutaj zacnie rozrysowany bo miejscami komiks wygląda szpetnie i rozpisany, ale charakter tego gagatka to coś co lubię, Jest arogancki, a reakcja na to, że ktoś śmiał powiedzieć, iż jest inna, silniejsza od niego Latarnia bezcenne,

Niemniej zeszyty, które wchodzą w skład crossoveru są wyraźnie słabsze, Nieco lepiej jest już w drugiej części tomu, gdzie mamy wreszcie unikatowe historie, a nie dołączone do jakiegoś wydarzenia, Tu Sinestro prowadzi swój Korpus naprzeciw Mongulowi oraz jego armii Wojennego Świata, co oferuje nam sporą dozę walk, szachrowania i nową, całkiem obiecującą adeptkę Żółtych.
A która, jak pokazuje Annual, ma dosyć nietypową i zabawną przypadłość,

I to Annual był zdecydowanie najfajniejszym aspektem tego tomu, Są tu po krotce przedstawione przeszłości członków Korpusu m, in Arkillo, a w dodatku dowiadujemy się też kilku innych istotnych informacji dla przyszłości grupy, Chciałoby się tego więcej, Niemniej na całej swojej rozpiętości historia potrafiła mnie mocno przynudzić, a nie takie odczucia ma mi dać dobrze rozpisany akcyjniak, jakim jest drugi tom.


Kreskę odzwierciedla ilość rysowników, tutaj trzech: Brad Walker, Dale Eaglesham i Ethan Van Sciver, O ile prace tych dwóch pierwszych jeszcze dają radę, to ten ostatni spisał się tutaj fatalnie, a niekiedy twarze w jego wykonaniu wyglądały jakby miały problematyczne zatwardzenie.


Zastanawiam się co dalej z serią, Bo postać Thaala zdecydowanie zasłużyła na własne historie, gdyż sam Sinestro błyszczał na łamach Green Lantern w New, a teraz gdy ją już dostała.
. . przydałby się chyba autor, który zrozumiał by tą postać, Bunn ma przebłyski, ale to za mało, The man's got a plan, and he doesn't really care who stands in his way of bringing order to the universe, Pretty solid characters make for an enjoyable read,


Perhaps you have lived in fear for too long, fear of the paling, fear of seeing other civilisations crumble as yours crumbled, and now you can only see fear as evil.
But fear can protect the weak, or urge the stagnant soul to action, Fear is the preamble to greatness, Fear can make you feel alive, Fear, when properly applied, can be a force of righteousness, But that requires a grasp of fear's nuances, its purpose, that most do not comprehend, Ehhhh.Stars
Much like many DC Volumes of the "LanternVerse", this Volume has quite a bit of the "New Gods/Life Equation" crossover event, Normally, this would be annoying to me, but I had not read these issues yet and it was very interesting to see Sinestro invite one of the New Gods to join the Corps.
AND she proves herself to be a valuable member in the second storyline contained in this Volume, Sinestro Corps vs, Mongol and all of Warworld!
Sinestro is a good comic, but needs to find, . . something I'm not sure what, to make it stand out, Maybe I just don't have as strong of a bond with Sinestro, like I have with Hal Jordan of the Green Lanterns or the concept of the Red Lantern Corps themselves always prove to be an entertaining story on occasion.

Nice cliffhanger ending though! Who has set off the core of the planet to explode and betrayed the trust of Sinestro We'll find out next Volume.
. .
Recommend, especially if you enjoy the whole "LanternVerse", .
