"The GLs are vanishing from the DCU..."

[Locomoco808]

The whole GLC Lost Army thing can be an opportunity for some great storytelling if they do it right.

We finally get to see Sinestro with a free hand in shaping the kind of peacekeeping force he's always wanted for the universe.

However, we will ultimately see how insane and unrealistic such a situation will be. In a sense this is letting Sinestro find out for himself that this was a failed venture from the start.

Ideally, what he has always wanted was an army of Batmans. Individuals who can strike fear into hearts and minds but have the ability in enforcing universal order.

The fact is, if you wind up moving away from the calm center "sweet spot" of Will, you are in a compromised situation. Whether you are talking about the all-consuming pull of rage that Red Lanterns have to contend with, or the capricious passion of the Star Sapphires.

Sinestro thus, has no choice but to recruit from those who live in Fear's domain, namely psychopaths and sociopaths. Individuals whose moral cores are zero to nil.

He will have the expansion he wants. He will have the influence and scope he's always dreamed. But it will be Korugar all over again. In the end, he will almost welcome the inevitable return of the Green Lanterns to the DCU in order to save the universe from the force he's unleashed.

At that point, it should be an epic all out war against an established Sinestro Corps having taken the place as intergalactic peacekeepers, over a veteran GLC that has been tried and tested in an alien universe from a long time ago.

That's my hope anyway for how this whole GLC lost army/Sinestro storyline unfolds.

you don't have to.

Yeah, I know I won't keel over or anything. But it would bother me to read some wiki a year from now that refers to all these events about a GL that I never read.

["Chosen"]

I feel like I have to since a GL is in it.

you don't have to.

[Space Cop]

Can't say I care enough to actually read the book.

I feel like I have to since a GL is in it. 3000 is mostly corny (and too wordy), but I don't hate it and every now and then the jokes work for me (the Booster and Beetle stuff was the best bit).

Hmmm it does look like Guy. I wonder what happened to the "little" Green Lantern.

That doesn't mean that is where Guy is going. There is already a version of Clark, Bruce, Diana, Barry, Hal, Sinestro, and Lois in JL 3000 and they're not missing from their books.

True. But that's the only place I've yet seen him (her) mentioned or shown in the post-"Convergence" landscape.

[Trey Strain]

Instead of always having a villain that the WHOLE DAMNED CORPS needs to fight, or having corps fighting corps, why not depict it the way common sense suggests it should be -- with focus on one or a few members in any given GLC story?

Why is that not even a consideration? Is it maybe because the writing at DC so lacks a following that if you don't somehow cram the whole Corps or the whole DCU in a story, nobody will pay attention to the thing?

["Chosen"]

CV: So Hal Jordan…

CB: Essentially Hal is going to be the sole Green Lantern in the DC Universe. All the other Green Lanterns are being put into a universe they have no connection to. They are completely unfamiliar with it. They will not know where they are. They literally start the first issue lost.

This is so funny to me... Hypo knows why.

There's no way putting Guy and Kyle into those two titles will suck me into buying them. They look awful and have the stink of cancellation already lingering on them.

This

[Big Daddy Dave Skywalker]

I zoomed in on it and that is definitely a woman on that 3001 cover. Or at least, as much as Howard Porter is capable of depicting one. So scratch that one off for a GL appearance of Guy.

Thanks for the info though, Star-Lantern.

LAME

I liked the idea of them being trandede in the same alt universe trying to find each other,and then find a way back home. Another Good idea DC imedatley meeses up.

[Star-Lantern]

Where are you getting Guy in JL3K from? The solicit doesn't indicate that, and I couldn't tell from the tiny picture in the link.

From this quote in the above link:

DC Entertainment has provided ComicBook.com with an exclusive first look at ten of their June 2015-launching solicitations, including anticipated new #1 issues like Bat-Mite, Bizarro and Robin, Son of Batman.

A number of these titles had already had art released, but this marks the debut of almost all of the solicitation text and a number of the covers.

Possibly the biggest revelation contained herein? What appears to be a 31st Century version of Guy Gardner (although...female?) in Justice League 3001. Facing off against Starro the Conqueror might bring some memories back, too.

*shrug* I assume they know what they're talking about
