As the last of the series leading up to The Blackest Night, Agent Orange ties together many of the strings that have been gathered up to this point and introduces the last lantern color, orange for greed. Agent Orange was fascinating and I won't say more about him specifically because I feel like it might spoil the impact of him. The Guardians, with the Green Lantern Corps as backup (including Hal Jordan and John Stewart) decide to finally confront Agent Orange whom they have left alone for years. Finding out exactly who and what Agent Orange was as well as his history with the Guardians was both fascinating and infuriating. I have never been a huge fan of the Guardians but they reveal themselves to be complete a-holes in this volume so I can't wait to see how Blackest Night is going to ruin all their careful plans. The battle between Hal and Agent Orange was perfectly epic and finally seeing what that one Guardian was up to was well worth the wait. Can't wait to see what happens next!
