Yeah that story is a GREAT read Marz can write a pretty good Hal and Parallax.http://www.facebook.com/gljosh

Great story, and it was, at the time, extra exciting because it seemed to be setting up a return of the GLC, with Kyle getting a ring that could duplicate. But they wasted no time squandering THAT potential with the, IMHO, embarassing The New Corps mini, then immediately LOSING the old ring.

The very first Green Lantern issue I ever read was from this storyline. My Dad bought the issue of Kyle and Hal fighting Parallax at a gas station on a trip one time. I read that book over and over and over as a kid. I was lucky enough to get the trade of it about a year ago.
Needless to say, this is my favorite Green Lantern story mostly because I have such an emotional connection with it.

Then to top it off, he ditches the whole idea as impossible, not learning the lesson that he was stupid to hand the rings out so haphazardly.
(I mean, wouldn't the first thing you'd do be to pass them out to former GLs? Surely John could have given him a lead on some of those?)

I liked how Kyle made some rookie mistakes. It did make him look like an idiot. And, well, that's because he was supposed to be a bit of a fool at the time. Wide-eyes and optimistic. Circle of Fire is when he finally grew up.
What i don't like is that NONE of the New Corps has shown up to be GLs in Vol 4. So ... none of them had the chops to be real Lanterns? Kinda weak.
Although, now that I think on it, that ring presents a problem. Without the CPB, how does it function? Where's it drawing it's power? Through Kyle's battery? Does that make Kyle's battery the CPB of his run?
That's actually something I'd like to ask Ron Marz. Where did Jhon (and Megaan) get a battery? Where did that battery get power? And, if it's from Kyle's, how does that work and how powerfull was Kyle's battery supposed to be?

I really got the feeling at the time that the setup at the end of Emerald Knights WAS supposed to be the beginning of a rebuilding of the Corps, but that they got cold feet, and squashed it immediately, making Kyle look uncharacteristically dumb in the process...
