When Milligan created the Red Lanterns comic, he set out to tell a very unique tale of politics and space opera. Unfortunately the comic was constantly derailed by crossovers, and even if Milligan's potential could have worked in a Green Lantern comic, it never had the opportunity. 
 Soule totally turns thing around, and decides to turn the Red Lanterns into another space cop force, just like the Greens. It causes them to lose most of their originality, but Soule has fun with it by playing up their uncouth nature while still giving the individual Lanterns more characterization than they ever received under Milligan. The result feels much more been-there-done-that, but unlike the Milligan run, it works. 
 So, good, I suppose. 
 (Also, unlike every other Green Lantern comic of this era, Red Lanterns manages to not go totally off track due to an incoherent Light's Out crossover. Dunno how Soule managed that, but the one issue of Light's Out that we see works mostly on its own.)
