Green Lanterns, Issue #17 is the second issue in the "Darkest Knights" arc. People are dying in Gotham after being taken over by fear. Batman thinks it's Sinestro Corps activity, but Simon Baz thinks it's the Scarecrow. It turns out that they're both right; the Scarecrow has a Yellow Power Ring. Issue #1 ended with Alfred under the Scarecrow's spell, pointing Baz's gun at Baz's head. The trigger is "Bad Batman" videos being played on YouTube, but only 12 people have been triggered, including Alfred. It can't be random, can it?
I got a little behind in my reading this week. Green Lanterns is usually one of the first titles I read because of the twice-a-month turnaround and because it's easy to read. There are overlapping arcs, which is always good. The "Darkest Knights" arc is going to be put on the back burner for just a little while, as the "Volthoom" arc is going to be more explored, at least from what I gathered reading this issue and the sixteen that preceded it. There's also a crucial moment in the development of Baz's character. If you haven't read this series and want to start, get Issue #16 and continue from there.
