First read through, it does pick up from Lost Army, but more of the same, misadventures in space and time. I like EVS art, so that was cool. Not a lot of wise discussion among the GLs on their next move, they're a bit like the last couple mini-series, spinning around without a lot of information...

The best thing that happens with this issue is the conversation that EVS is having with John Stewart fans on CBR.

I read the CBR conversation, I thought both the GL reviewer and EVS had a point. The GL reviewer hated the threads from GL: Lost Army were ignored (so far) and EVS drew the story he was contracted to draw. And EVS hated the two ring Guy Gardner idea either way.
Lost Army was terrible, but they should at least show a flashback panel somewhere in Edge of Oblivion to show a transition of characters, or something to show 'our story so far.'
And rage and will combo Guy was weird and not making sense, I am not sure I need that explained or just to pretend I didn't see it. Lots of comic book moments like that.
Marvel and DC have a thing the last 4-5 years where continuity of any kind (issue to issue, relaunch to relaunch, GL Hal versus JLA Hal) is optional, so I'm not surprised two writers are approaching the missing Green Lantern Corps in different ways.

I'm getting my first issue of this one in the mail tomorrow from TFAW.
I was first really looking forward to this as a continuation of Lost Army (and the deeper insight into John as a character), plus I'm a big fan of Sciver's art. When I first found out that it wasn't exactly a continuation I was at first a little angry, but Ethan himself showed up on the CBR board and explained the cool things about it, so now I'm back to being enthused. I just wish there would have been more about John, it's baffling to me they would mostly cut short what was going on with the character development there. But hey, it's the GLC so wild horses couldn't drag me away.

It was an okay read. Pretty typical of the bland stories in GL the last couple years.
No, I can't count the Lost Army story as being Blackest Night, Sinestro Corps war, or the Tomasi/Pasarin Corps run...but in my eyes not too much is.
