Yeah, they haven't made the chronology/canon real clear, although GLs Rebirth did reference Lost Army/Edge.

DC can maybe get themselves out of that clear oversight by saying, "Well, Simon Baz went through the tear in space first, so he is back first." But, I don't know. To me, it just looks like another glaring contradiction from series to series. At the very least, it is very poor planning.Last edited by Star-Lantern; 06-09-2016, 10:20 PM.

I'm actually interested in the "Red Dawn" promise at the end of GLs Rebirth. Huge fan of the Reds.

They REALLY need to connect those dots, and show us exactly what Baz did upon returning to our universe. Maybe they will, but the time to do it would have been BEFORE they had him pop up in Green Lanterns, IMHO.Last edited by Mister Ed; 06-10-2016, 02:04 PM.

Killowog´s speech was kinda neat.
At first glance I though, "What is a guy from the Justice Friends show doing there?", then I realized it was Iolande´s dad.

I could buy that Baz made it back much earlier due to time variance weirdness, but not that he would not then IMMEDIATELY go tell everybody what was going on and lead them back to wherever it was he popped into our universe. He wouldn't just fly back to earth and just pick up being GL there like nothing had happened.

It doesn't hold together. I'm not the biggest stickler for continuity ever, but I don't believe there should be such massive contradictions and discrepancies. Remember, DC has teams of professionals whose job it should be to keep their storytelling straight. DC's entire business is telling stories, and lately, in regards to Green Lantern, at least, their stories don't make any sense with each other, yet they're supposed to be connected.
This makes me less and less interested in their storytelling because if these teams of professionals can't be bothered to have their stories make sense, why should I be bothered to follow them? Furthermore, the stories are over all tepid and not even good, and, for me, at least, Edge of Oblivion is a perfect example of that.

Looking at the Lost Army to Edge of Oblivion situation, I highly doubt DC will do anything satisfactory to rectify that. What's also interesting is that Jessica Cruz got her power ring during "Darkseid War," and the Corps was there. Now they're gone... and she didn't go with them.

I thought the series had promise to begin with, at least the art was good, but at the end it gave me a head ache. Just filing it away as another continuity foul up, hoping things stay on track after rebirth.

I actually kind of liked Lost Army, so when they ended that it at least sounded like they had a plan when this came out.
Yeah I was wrong to think that.
