Hal Jordan‘s refusal to take on the role of Green Lantern at Sinestro‘s insistence leads to the pair battling between themselves on the rooftops of Coast City. Although it raises Jordan’s ire, Sinestro can’t find a way to motivate the greatest Green Lantern to continue the fight even when he threatens Carol‘s life.
Their fight is interrupted by the unexpected arrival of the Indigo Lanterns who abduct the pair forcing Carol to go into her own closet and pull out a certain piece of jewelry she had decided never to wear again.
Part One of “The Secrets of the Indigo Tribe” is supposed to shed light on the last of the rainbow colored ring bearers but all we’re given here is more questions as Hal comes across a former (and very dead) foe who is now part of the tribe.
The Sinestro/Hal/Carol story continues to work but I’m less sure about where the comic seems headed next with the focus shifting to the Indigo Tribe and the Guardians search for “the first Lantern.” Worth a look.

Where the first two issues had focused primarily on Westerners in need of the Lone Ranger’s help, issue #3 puts the masked man and his Indian companion center stage.
The Lone Ranger and Tonto are approached by the United States Government to help track down a vicious gang of railroad robbers. The Ranger reluctantly takes the job, and he and Tonto are able to find the gang with relative ease.
However, their victory is short lived as they discover the thieves have the protection of a local sheriff and an entire town. The comic ends with Tonto gut-shot and bleeding out in the desert and our hero about to have a noose placed around his neck.
The pacing here is much better than in the first couple of issues and, despite the unnecessary use of flashbacks, it works very well by delivering the series’ best issue to date. I’ve also got to throw a shout out to Francesco Francavilla for a very cool cover. Worth a look.
