Wait, there's *another* Earth Lantern?

When he said 7, I balked a little, but I figured he was either counting Alan or Teen Lantern whose name I don't remember.

Oof. At least this tries to explain it, but it's such a hackney'd explanation I'd be surprised if it sticks long.

I haven't been reading the comic but I don't think Jo is from Earth

Nope, she's a normal Earth human. An ex-cop from New York City, to be specific.

Well, it's no worse an explanation than any other which tries to justify why Earth, a tiny backwater world in an small arm of an obscure galaxy, is still at the epicenter of every major cosmic event ever. (Birthplace of the life entity, anyone?)

Remember the time when Earth was supposed to birth the next race of immortals, back in the Millennium event? Yeah.

Saying that Earth is one of several crux worlds, and will evolve the next race of New Gods eventually is as reasonable a thought process for this go-around of the cycle, until a reboot changes it again.

Mind you, I'm still convinced that everything happening in the DC Universe encompasses a tiny fragment of the -actual- full universe, and that if you were to pop a billion galaxies to the left you'd find something else equally epic and involved going on to some other world that developed superbeings. Crisis on Garfhulpe-1....

Some stories Moore and Gaiman have written imply a bit of that.
