Can I rank an entire planet in a single spot? No? Well, to an extent, that's what I'm doing here, because I adore the red lanterns.

We visited the Green Lanterns, this vast society of diverse and interesting and a little uptight space cops. Then we met the Star Sapphires, who are, for the most part, at best fuckin crazy gaga and at worst evil megalomaniacs. Then we met the big, scary, evil Red Lanterns and they're just, like... pretty reasonable guys? I mean, they're driven by an unquenchable thirst for rage and bloody revenge against those who've done them wrong but, like, I get that.

One of them's a cat that was horribly abused. One of them is a circle. Several of them can't speak and can only angrily vomit blood, and I can't help but feel for them. I mean, who hasn't been so utterly devastated by the cruelties of the universe that they were reduced to violently vomiting blood?

At the center of it all is Atrocitus who, again, very reasonable guy. His arguments are well-stated, he's a great leader, and, much like some of the other best characters in the campaign, can see potential in those who most need to be seen. We've only really met with the guy fairly briefly but I'm already excited to see how his plot (and/or plotting, see what I did there) unfolds.

Hint for #49: This character has the shortest write-up of any of the 20-some I've written so far because I like them a lot but haven't put in the time to really interact with them
