My money is on the Alpha Lanterns. I'm a fan of Green Man. John Stewart will stand trial and be convicted...just in time to be re-instated for battle with the Third Army.

Didn't they do a simular storyline in JLU once?

Sort of. It was called In Blackest Night where he was put on trial for destroying a planet.

Everytime I see Green Man I become sad because of what happen to him.

Me too I hope it is someday reversible, but in all likelihood I think the old Green Man is gone for good.

I think it was in the JLTAS then, when he was escorted then by the Manhunters.

3.5 or 4 out of 5

I thought it was pretty good. We knew where it was going but the GotU confirmed why they would sit back even if an injustice is being committed.

Not to mention John's ring didn't record anything before the killing. I think it's pretty clear the Guardians are behind it.

That or the Alphas are railroading him.

Nice issue! John mentions that he got tired of making all the tough decisions by killing his own corpsman... He was sentence to Death! Let's see how Guy and Co gonna pull John out of this one next!

John has been put in some really tough decisions, but I can't help but entertain the idea that he could have handled the last one in a different way. If his hands were free he could of just knocked the guy out. I don't feel like he should have his ring revoked or anything, but I don't see him as being squeaky clean in this. Maybe a temporary hiatus of duties is more appropriate. But this seems to all work into the Guardians plan to dissolve the corps, something they pointed out after talking with Guy.

I thought it was funny that Guy came so close to the truth by feeding off and re-acting to his emotions. It tickled me to see the Guardians confer with each other after he left, and I liked the fact that he later brought up how different they acted in the trial as opposed to before. Maybe Guy is the one that's going to figure out the Guardians plans after all...

Not an overly exciting issue but it brought out a lot of great character points and views on the issue and revealed more about how determined the Guardians are to dissolve the corps. Not a lot of action but a necessary story beat. I dug it. Solid stuff.

So are the Alpha Lanterns being manipulated again, only by the Guardians this time?

I thought the end result of the last time we saw them was that they got access to their emotions again, and were, I thought, supposed to be acting more like their original selves as a consequence, yet here they are emotionlessly passing harsh judgement on John Stewart.

(1) I don't think so because the GotU said to themselves that the Alphas' actions just happen to play right into their hands.
(2) Yeah, I think that got quietly retconned in the new 52. I also thought they were going to be rehabilitated.
