This is the thread to discuss the upcoming Green Lantern Crossover Event - Rise of the Third Army.
So, Green Lantern #12 and Green Lantern Corps #12 came out this week. Did you read it? Some pretty big stuff is going down with The Guardians of the Universe. They are systematically taking all the Corps, including their own, out of the picture in order to replace them with their own as of yet to be revealed Third Army.
Looks like a pretty interesting plot-line if you ask me. I'm actually quite intrigued by the mystery of this Third Army. And I'm wondering what the hell is going on with The Guardians of the Universe. I've read Green Lantern for years upon years, and while The Guardians may have been a bit emotionally detached and anti-social; they were never outright evil and manipulating like this. I mean, they're manipulating forces to kill beings, including their own soldiers. Sure, they did banish The Manhunters, but #1 they were machines and #2 they malfunctioned. These are living, breathing people (or aliens).
I'm under the belief (with the little evidence we have as of yet) that The Guardians of the Universe are being manipulated by someone or something else.
And it looks like Kyle Rayner and the New Guardians are the team that have the biggest leg up on The Guardians. They suspected something was up with them since nearly the beginning of their series. I hope we get to see Kyle as the big hero again, I still have a lot of love for that character. I followed his 90s book from first issue to the last.
