Green Lantern Corps #15
Not nearly as good as last issue's Soranik/Sinestro matchup, but still quite competent - for what it is: basically an extended battle sequence. "The Battle of Mogo". It's got a nice ring to it. And that's all this issue is. In fact, it's only part one of "The Battle of Mogo". And yet, it's still pretty GOOD. A host of artists manage to achieve a sort of consistency between their work - something I've never seen in such a collaboration. It works well. GOOD.
Interestingly enough, this entire event is based on a minor detail from a single issue written by Alan Moore a long time ago (Tales of the Green Lantern Corps Annual #2 (1986)). That's not necessarily a problem. In fact, it shows incredible foresight and planning on the part of Geoff Johns.

DC is drawing on two Alan Moore GL stories here. The Abin Sur / Empire of Tears story is the main one, but there is another.
Take a look at the lifeforms that Bolphunga the Unrelenting is examining for GL power rings in Alan Moore's story about Mogo (reprinted in recent softcover of Moore's DC Universe stories).
Bolphunga had no idea what Mogo looked like, so he started to examine insects for power rings ("Nope, no power ring on this one"). Now Mogo's sector partner is an insect!
