This volume in the "The New 52" revamped series reintroduces Green Lanterns John Stewart and Guy Gardner, and their alien comrades who serve the mysterious Guardians in protecting the universe. Although aided by powerful rings that create anything the GLs imagine, the strength is determined by the sheer willpower of its wearer. On Oa, Stewart and Gardner accept a mission to investigate a genocide that occurred on a water planet after the water disappeared. The GLs track down the guilty party, the Keepers, whose willpower doesn't appear to waver. In order to save the planet they must find a way to overcome the evil Keepers.
VERDICT A fast-paced, adventure-packed story that reads like an action film—appealing for GL fans and teen readers of superhero comics. Libraries with limited budgets for graphic novels should instead consider the "The New 52" series Geoff Johns's Justice League, Vol. 1: Origin, or Scott Snyder's Batman, Vol. 1: Court of the Owls.
