GL: Emerald Warriors #9

[Emerald Warrior JStewart]

They're fighting Mogo?

I was so drawn into the the changes of the lanterns that I didn't notice mogo's big ass in the background. Lol

I hadnt posted anything in a while and when I saw this one was like damn, I didnt realize that was Mogo in the background either lmao!!!

Finally,Geoff has got off his ass and bringing back the magic his Pre-Blackest Night run had.Even though it required a massive Geoffcon for the main bad guy.Also,does anyone else find the idea of the Entity-possesed Guardians funny?It's a race of blue dwarfes being sent to kill them

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.

Guy will be Guy.

Someone's getting their retcons mixed up.

It's *possible* that the Manhunters weren't immediately retired, but continued on for a bit using the zappers. Possible, but that might be giving them too much credit.

Oa's destruction never happening is hardly the first big retcon and it won't be the last.

I knew something bothered me about those guns, but I glanced over it.

I suppose the theory suggested below (that Tom kind of "reset" Oa, Guardians' secret lair et al) would kind of answer that problem, but admittedly it's difficult.

I'm with the folks who think it's not a retconn, but Oa being "recreated" through manipulation of time so that it is the way it was before it's destruction.

See, the problem with that is that that is not shown in Legacy. We see the planet literally reform around the GL ring (as it grows gigantic) and then they state that it's been recreated and was no longer a testiment to the Guardian's cold mission of order. Which is completely at odds witht he idea that it was simply remade exactly as it was + a giant Hal Jordan statue serving holding the CPB.

So, any way you slice it, we're retconning something.

It was a stupid decision to destroy Oa in the first place. They had to know they'd need it again someday. And part of the fun is getting mileage out of "ancient" mysteries on the place and exploring long hidden secrets. Who wants to explore something brand new where the paint isn't even dry?

In fiarness, this is the first time we've ever explored any ancient mysteries on Oa. Before now there just wasn't much there.

With all the retcons going on in GL, why fight this one? I'm just gonna accept it and move on.

late but Poll added.

Im perfectly fine with believing that Tom recreated Oa exactly like how it was.

I think it's reaching at this point to think Oa's destruction still happened.

We've had Ganthet (or possibly John, can't recall readily) state that the buildings on Oa were centuries old. We have the crypt. The forge. Manhunters abandoned while under construction including working pistols. Things in glass containers. Even Krona's original gauntlet.

There are still ways to preserve this piece of GL history. Maybe Tom turned back time and "rewound" OA to a certain point and then altered all of the archetecture. But I think it was just retconned out for simplicity's sake.

Hello everyone again!

Who or what were the failed experiments?

They look reptilian...probably related to the Psions.

I liked Emerald Warriors #9 quite a bit actually. Good story, good art. For a 10 part story, enough happened here to make me happy.
