![]() He was principally created to act as a counterpart to popular member of the Green Lantern Corps, Killowog.Īrkillo was rarely more than a generic brute in his early days and went largely unnoticed, especially considering that the first incarnation of the Sinestro Corps had such noteworthy DC villains as Mongul and The Cyborg Superman on its roster. When Arkillo was first introduced there was little to his character. Arkillo on the other hand is a different story. Rayner’s character remains the way it has been in the previous two issues. Ultimately it is what drags this issue down. There are several inconsistencies and the characters never seem to look quite right, Rayner in particular. However, there is something off-putting about the artwork. ![]() The story could have been a little stronger, but still manages to hold my interest and remain fresh after 15 issues. Here we are given further insight into the character of Arkillo, who was a spotlighted character in the previous story arc. As excellent as that story was, if that formula had been repeated here, it would have become stale and uninteresting. ![]() Rayner’s quest to conquer the power of yellow is a decent continuation of the story and thankfully not a repeat of the previous issue. Arkillo joins them on their quest that he may find and kill Sinestro and prove that he is the greatest Yellow Lantern of all. Their next goal will prove even more difficult, training under Larfleeze, the vile Orange Lantern. Rayner and Arkillo are evenly matched, and Rayner tries to get Arkillo to release his own power that has been inhibited by his former loyalties to Sinestro, but Carol Ferris arrives and calms the two down. Arkillo is overcome with hatred for his former master and so to calm him down, Rayner produces several constructs of Sinestro but this only serves to further anger him.Īrkillo fights Rayner and nearly destroys him, but Rayner gains an advantage when he does the one thing a Green Lantern must never do: admit his own fear.ĭoing this allows Rayner to channel the power of the yellow light. Rayner confronts Arkillo on the aforementioned planet. Indigo-1 answers by reminding him that fear can sometimes be a healthy reaction. Rayner reminds her that fear is part of the job when one is a Green Lantern. Rayner will not have such an easy time mastering the powers of love, avarice, and especially fear. Rayner has a fairly easy time mastering the indigo light of compassion, but compassion is a trait that Rayner has never had a hard time with. We begin with Rayner training under the leader of the Indigo Tribe, known simply as Indigo-1. Feeling betrayed and alone, Arkillo has exiled himself to a secluded planet where he is worshipped as a fear god. Now, a greater task lies ahead of Rayner, confronting Arkillo, the last remaining Yellow Lantern after the recent destruction of the Sinestro Corps at the hands of Sinestro. Rayner was successful, but was forever changed by the experience. Previously, Green Lantern Kyle Rayner trained under the savage Attrocitus in order to master the red fires of rage. “In Blackest Day, In Brightest Night, Beware Your Fears Made into Light, Let Those Who Try To Stop what’s Right, Burn Like my Power, Sinestro’s Might!” All who cross the wrath of the Yellow Lanterns do well to remember their sinister oath. Sinestro, once considered the greatest of all Green Lanterns, fell from grace and was exiled to a world where such yellow power was in great abundance.Īs part of his revenge, Sinestro forged multiple yellow rings and formed his own corps, The Sinestro Corps, each member wielding the yellow light of fear. In many ways that can be taken quite literally.Ī Green Lantern’s greatest weakness is yellow light, as yellow is the color of fear. As a Green Lantern, one will have to face many things that will bring about great fear in one’s heart. “You have the ability to overcome great fear, ”is the first thing said to someone when they are inducted into the Green Lantern Corps.
