Before I close this review, I have a few comments that occurred to me. As an aside, there were a number of readers and reviewers on the web that criticised Geoff Johns regarding the "Sinestro Corps Wars," stating that it was an opportunity to highlight an "ends justifies the means" approach to war. If those readers are enjoying the slaughter of this book, I would challenge them to look very closely at these two series and contrast/compare the approaches taken. While I will agree that the SCW story line seemed to glorify that approach, usually the character motivations behind that approach were presented. The "Messiah War" story arc does not even make clear that these characters have emotions. They simply appear, revel in bloodshed without reason or consequence, and exit stage right. As a result, this reader and reviewer cannot find much redeeming to say about this individual issue, or the series as a whole.
