Green Lantern #4

Green Lantern #4 continues the dual storyline of John Stewart stuck without his ring in the Dark Sector fighting slavers and bounty hunters while back on Oa Sojourner Mullein picks up the pieces of an attack that has left Green Lanterns without working rings, Guardians stuck in some kind of stasis, and the Central Battery deconstructed.

I've grown less interested in John's story with every issue (and I wasn't all that interested in it to begin with) but thankfully it seems to be wrapping up so I hope to see the focus shift more to Sojourner and Teen Lantern starting with the next issues (especially now that the teenager has flown off looking to pick a fight with Sinestro).

There's still no sign of Hal Jordan who was teased at the end of the last issue so it's unsure what the greatest Green Lantern may be up to. We do however get confirmation on some of the Lanterns who have been taken out by the attack which sadly appears to include Arisia Rrab. Couldn't they have killed Kyle, instead?
