    "Looks like Mogo wants to do more than socialize" HA! I love it. Again, Mr. Tomasi's EW is the best on the shelves. Great story, great characterization, great dialogue, good amount of action and just plain fun. Not to mention Pasarin's art which just makes it 10 times better.

    I loved seeing the inner workings of OA, and all the failed experiments of the gruardians. I mean, this place, the foundry, HAD to exist. Where else would they come up with all those crazy lantern goodies!

    Great issue 5/5 for me. It moved the story along perfectly (not just a mild interlude the way GLC was this month thanks to Mr Tony "boring" bedard)

    And Kyle was awesome in this. Even shutting down (or blocking, i guess) the others' rings. Here he was NOT the pansy we saw in GLC.

    Hope Kyle doesn't die (though I'm sure he will, and in order to actually make the war matter, I suppose, for story's sake, it makes sense---but I HATE the idea of kyle dying!!!!)

    Hope he gets drafted into the BLCorps. He'd make a great blue lantern!

    Also, I love how this war is more connected than Sinwar was. Great issue. Cant wait for GL!!!

        Well, In SCW, the issues of Green Lantern followed the main story, while GLC felt more like a tie in. It had it's own thing going on with mogo vs ranxx and all that. Here, in wotgls all 3 titles, GL, GLC and GLEW throw the ball at each other continuing the exact same story picking up from where the other left off.

              This issue was great! I left me with a few of questions:

              Who or what were the failed experiments?
              Who was the protector of Krona's gaunlet?
              With the other things on how could the foundry know those were green lanterns when they their hands in it?

              Tomasi did a great job with this issue!

                Well this is GJ where science doesn't always make since but it's OK cause there rest of the issue was Kick Ass; I like the fact that the Earth GL are in conflict with each other

                  Hey, Mogo has a ring fuled by willpower which can do anything he can imagine. Let the science be damned, it's cool to see what makes Mogo a badass!

                  It's not liek this is the first or even second time Mogo has been that close to Oa.

                    I loved the issue; loved more of the history of the GLC; the conflict between the characters and them gaining a bit more control of their rings. I can't wait to see the next issue of it. Loved how it was a Hal, John, Guy, and Kyle issue than just a Guy issue being in Emerald Warriors.

                      Did anyone else think that the beast protecting the under-chambers of OA looked EXACTLY like a skeletal version of Parallax? Coincidence?

                      I couldn't believe it when Guy said "If anyone knows how to take out a planet, it's you." to John. Well, I could believe it, I was just in shock.

                        That seems kind of low. And inaccurate. Unless I'm forgetting something, the only one of them to ever actually personally blow up a planet was Kyle.

                            Kyle's destruction of Oa (and its subsequent rebuilding by Tom Kamalku) has been Geoffconned away. There's plenty of evidence now to show that Oa has always been there.

                              I don't think it has been EXPLICITLY retconned. The possibility remains, however remote and unlikely, that it was simply rebuilt EXACTLY as before (plus a giant statue of Hal which is now, thankfully, gone, but which Geoff showed in Rebirth, at least ALLUDING to Tom's role in Oa's reconstruction) including things Tom could not have possibly known about, through some sort of quirk of the ring and the planet's long steeping in emerald energy.

                                Oa couldn't have been destroyed. The stuff in the forge is billions of years old, and Kyle had previously reduced the planet to rubble. None of that stuff would have survived, so GL v3 #0 is definitely retconned.
