Green Lantern Corps 44: Mogo Being A Badass

[jlroberson]

So, Oa is besieged by the Black Lanterns. They're destroying the power battery and have rotted is foundation, and it has fallen, with a great amount of damage. Oh, and the rings don't work now. Mogo shows up. What can Mogo do? Well, in defiance of the laws of physics, he can execute this secret order from the Guardians he only now informs Salaak of. While managing to not destroy Oa somehow in the process. Witness(a little less than 4 pages, one cropped from a double-pager, which is why it looks like 5)):





A lot of posts tonight, but I'm up late and anxious nursing my sick cat.

Huh? Johns hasn't said that Dark Matter is evil, just that Nekron was using Dark Matter as a tool for building his corps. (It's especially worth noting that Johns views Nekron as a force of nature a la a black hole rather than a villain.)

[jlroberson]

He appears to be strongly implying it. The thing is that dark matter isn't even really thought of as that which stitches together the universe.(a la Jean Loring's statement) Nothing is really known about it. All it means is matter we can only perceive--mainly due to our distance--by its effect on other bodies. Spectrograms, radio telescopy, whatever, they can't pick it up or examine it directly. That's all. Other than that, it may not be very special.

Or it might not exist at all. There's a new competing theory (probably several old too, but this one I happened to read about in a local popular sciences mag) that posits that the effects we're seeing might be caused by the fact that we're in a 'bubble' - a relatively empty area of space compared to the rest of the universe.

It'd have to be larger than any of those that have been found as of yet, though, so dunno. Scientists have their work cut out for them with both theories.

Eh, he's implying it's evil in the same way that fear is evil. He's anthropomorphosizing a concept and giving it a nasty personality.
