    I can't really remember the last time I was surprised like this. A character I like but was thought lost and I didn't expect to see back, returned and doing something else unexpected. Kind of spoilery for GL Corps 49, but whatever. Cyborg Superman is back and he's moved up from controlling the Manhunters to controlling the Alpha Lanterns and doing crazy experiements. I can't wait to see where this is going. I'm glad he's in the story since I don't know how long I would have kept picking up GLC otherwise. It's not bad or anything, but it was definitely losing my interest.

    And here I already dropped GLC after Blackest Night. I may have to pick it back up.

    I sort of knew it was him. Mostly because when I was looking through the DC Comics website I saw him pop up, and I knew something was up with the Alpha Lanterns, so I put the obvious together. 
    I like him as a villain, and agree with you, I can't wait to see where Bedard takes him. Tony has jumped up the ranks. I think he'll be a gem for DC as much as Krul will be.

    I too was starting to lose interest in the GLC comic, probably if Brightest Day GLC won't blow me away I will give up on it.
    It will be interesting to see if the Corp will be destroyed from within, but that remains to be seen.

    Well there is a new writer for GLC, Tony Bedard. He looks like he'll do some good with it.

    Lmao, it's hilarious. I knew he was controlling the Alpha Lanterns before, but now he's one of them complete with his own lantern in his chest? And he's expanded his abilities to include telepathy of some sort? And he's capable of taking on Ganthet while mentally controlling a race of billions? Hank, you're such a card. "I spent months just feeling sorry for myself." I like how his pursuit of death is such a joke. Zombies and Death himself just ignore him. "It was the end of all life and I wasn't invited." I hope this continues to deliver.

    They're a race of robots. It's not telepathy, just his old technopathy over a wide scale. 
     
    And he's awesome. I'm so happy Tomasi is no longer writing GLC.

    He created a mental link with John Stewart and was speaking in his mind and sharing memories.

    I though he did that through all the tubing inside John at the time. Gonna have to check that.

    It didn't appear that John had anything inside him and the last issue just had him strapped down with instruments over him. It doesn't look like it was because of any device, but wasn't entirely sure, which is why I wrote "of some sort." But it's definitely different from him communicating with technology like he normally does or other robots, though it wouldn't be the first time he's demonstrated telepathy, just a better display of it.

    I haven't yet gotten the issue, but I have seen the preview and it does look pretty cool.
