Anyway, Green Lantern New Guardians issue 1.
The cover features members of each corps. From top to bottom, Kyle Rayner Green Lantern, Bleez Red Lantern, Glomulus Orange Construct, Munk Indigo Tribe, Saint Walker Blue Lantern, Fatality Star Sapphires and Arkillo Sinestro Corps. They are creating a pyramid reaching for a circle of power rings, one from each corps.
Warning will be giving a complete synopsis overview of Green Lantern New Guardians issue 1. If you dont wish to spoil it for yourself I suggest you pick up a copy then come and read the review.
Plot:
We begin on Oa, dead bodies everywhere and a pile of dead guardians, but one raises their hand from the group. The Guardian known as Ganthet rises and swears that the guardians sacrifice will not be in vain, and the last power ring will be given to someone.
New York City
Sector 2814
We see Kyle Rayner in a bar with friends, sketching on a pad of paper a picture for their waitress as a tip since he is broke. Banter goes back and forth between him and his friends when he has to go to the restroom, there is a huge line so he chooses to go out in the alley.
When Ganthet appears and gives Kyle the ring turning him into a Green Lantern. Ganthet instructs him on the use and purpose of his ring, telling him he can create anything he can think of by simply willing it into existence. Kyle gives him a demonstration of understanding, by making a green construct cartoon version of Ganthet himself.
The Xylon Expanse
Sector 422
Present Day
We see a mass of bodies floating around a ship where inside a member of the Sinestro Corps is terrorizing the alien owners.Telling them he wants to hear them scream before they die, and just as he attacks his ring deserts him with the message <Sinestro 117 Decommissioned, Replacement Sentient Locked: Sector 2814> and with the ring gone and the member powerless, the aliens attack and kill him.
The Planet Krod
Sector 1009
A Red Lantern is setting fire to a city, telling them all to burn, Murderers burn! When his ring also deserts him stating <Red Lantern 1009 Decommissioned, Replacement Sentient Locked Sector 2814>. When you become a RL your blood is expelled from your body, replaced by Napalm. Should you loose your ring your body dies. As this RL did.
Sector 22
We see a Star Sapphire protecting what looks like a Space RV from a giant ship, when her ring deserts her as well stating, <Star Sapphire 22 Decommissioned, Replacement Sentient Locked 2814>. As she was in space her protective field now gone she is dying, Fatality appears and encases her in a protective crystal and saves the aliens in the Space RV, stating whoever stole the ring will come to learn why she was once known as Fatality.
Time Square
A man is operating a crane on a building when the building breaks and the crain begins to fall, he is saved a long with the crane by constructs created by Kyle Rayner. Who after saving him, gets harassed by some kid who states that he doesn't look as cool as that other Lantern from Coast City (Hal Jordan). As he argues with this kid the rings that have deserted there owners as well as a couple of the corps we haven't seen, come to kyle all of them stating <Kyle Rayner of Earth you have been chosen>.
Then all at once members of some of the Corps, appear to retrieve the stolen rings, believing Kyle to be the thief. Fatality, Arkillo, Bleez, Munk demand that the rings be returned.
And of course this the end of the issue!!!
So what the hell is going on!!! The rings from all the corps have left there owners and come to Kyle!!!???!!! Now one thing I know about Kyle is he is a special GL. When Paralax first possessed Hal and went on a killing spree, there were no Lanterns, and even the guardians were gone all save for Ganthet, who also had the last power ring the Guardians created, a special powered up version. Kyle was the one chosen and became the Last Green Lantern. After the order was reinstated some how (not really sure about how the guardians and what not come back). He is chosen to be the wielder of the powers of Ion, who is the entity of willpower and the Green Lantern Corp. He was also inducted into the Honor Guard, a special more powerful section of the GL corp. So I know he is special but chosen to wield ALL of the rings of the Corp? whats this going to make him? A Rainbow Lantern? I am curious to see where they are going with this? Not really sure, there have been many a mystery in the GL universe this is just one of many!
So I have to say, for the New 52, they were supposed to be modernizing the costumes. Now John Stewart's costume was the same with a metallic sheen. Guy's has stayed the same and now Kyles has stayed the same!? I mean come on even Fatality is wearing a snazzy modern outfit. Whats up with the GL's guys you can't just give your first a makeover, give them all a make over! Even Sinestro as a GL got one!!!
So were gonna have to wait till the end of next month to figure some of whats going on here, I am sure they won't answer all our questions in the next issue but maybe some insight!
Next up Superman issue 1!
