Green Lantern Annual #1 (spoilers)

[stillanerd]

If there is one undeniable fact of life in the DC Universe, it is this: The Guadians of the Universe are a bunch of assholes. Not to mention arrogant, self-imporant, and, as shown in recent issues, psychotically insane. Of course, I don't need to tell you any of this; but in this weeks Green Lantern Annual #1, they've really stooped to a new low.

See, the Guardians have decided that the universe must be "saved" from this pesky little thing we call "free will." And since they "know what's best for us," they've taken upon themselves to free a being known as "The First Lantern" that they've imprisoned for billions of years so they can use him as a new battery to create their "Thrid Army" of mindless obedient drones to pacify the cosmos (cause third time's the charm, I guess) which, of course will set up the upcoming new Green Lantern crossover event. And along the way to Earth, they just so happen to stumble upon our buddy cop team of Hal Jordan and Sinestro, having just recovered their Green Lantern rings, and gaining the upper hand against Black Hand. Which then leads to this:

Um...yeah. Hal Jordan and Sinestro are dead. Again. Which I guess also explains the new guy:



 

Hehehe! So how long until The Hal Emerald Advancement Team comes out of retirement and re-mobilizes back into action once they hear this news?  It really is the 1990s all over again!:-D

But still, the Guardians of the Universe really are a bunch of assholes, aren't they?

EDIT: Though it's highly probable that both Hal and Sinestro's absence won't be nearly as long as it was last time. :-).

Oh.. I like this to be honest. Not bad at all.

Yeah, they'll come back. But this is comics, stagnant growth comes with the territory.
