The Green Lantern Corps has returned, except this time Arisia, John, Xrill-Vrek, Kilowog, Two-Six, and Krona find themselves in somewhere unfamiliar in the universe. There's also something sinister going on as well. As seen in GREEN LANTERN #41, Hal Jordan is the lone Green Lantern around. Where did everyone else go?

Writer Cullen Bunn and artist Jesus Saiz debuted this new series today and there's a lot changed in this new story and the book focuses on a few new Green Lanterns as well. Let's take a look at some of the big developments from this most recent issue.

Warning: There are spoilers for the first issue here! Be warned!

4. There's Creatures Erasing Matter from the Universe

Right off the bat, the Lanterns find themselves somewhere unfamiliar. We got a good look at the characters finding themselves lost in space and dealing with a new enemy. We get a little bit better look at this new threat, which works almost like a white blood cell, eliminating foreign bodies from the universe. It doesn't just kill people, it erases them fro existence. Where do these beings come from and how can the GLC stop them? However, it's not the only new threat the Green Lanterns find.

3. Lanterns are Being Killed

The Lanterns quickly discover a few things. First, that there's more than one threat in this lost part of space they're in and that someone or something is killing Green Lanterns and encasing the bodies in some sort of red crystal. They all have a terrified look on their faces as well. This red crystal eats through Green Lantern force fields. Whatever or whoever is doing this was designed for the sole purpose of taking down Lanterns.

2. Guy Gardner is Back with a New Look

Everyone's favorite sarcastic Earth-Lantern returns to the fold this week as well. Guy Gardner shows up wielding both red and green rings. As you may know, Gardner was the leader of the Red Lantern Corps for quite some time, but we haven't seen him integrate both the rings together, like we seen now, although he did wield both ring in the past at the same time. Gardner also doesn't know how he got there or where the rings came from, but he thinks the Guardians have something to do it.

1. The Pyramid of Hate

The final page of the issue is quite the trip as the Green Lanterns find the source of the hate and the probable thing behind all the Green Lanterns encased in the red crystal. A literal pyramid of hate. Who is behind all this though? Could it be the Guardians, like Guy thinks it is, or are the Lanterns up against something new and terrifying? More importantly, where are the Lanterns and are any of them left alive? We'll have to keep reading to find out.

GREEN LANTERN LOST ARMY delivers a brand new direction for the Corps. What did you think of the issue? Let us know.

Guy looks like a Christmas decoration......... And people say Alan Scott's costume looked ridiculous. :|

I'm just glad that Bunn actually remembers that Lanterns have more powers than jsut making constructs.

I like Guy's development.

What did he show?

Good. Now give me back my Atrocitus, and somehow retcon all this crap Soule put RLC trough.

Telepathy

Maybe the pyramid of Hate and the red crystals are some merging of Red and Violet ends of the spectrum. The Butcher and the Predator got together and created something twisted perhaps.

Not a fan of Guy's new look either...

~KL~

My bet is on Atrocitus.

Between them or with other life forms.

John is the best GL

I'd be more excited about this if John wasn't in it. By far the least interesting lantern, in my opinion.

I actually like Guy's new look.

@squalleon: Between them.

guy's look is awesome

Good thing Guy got a better haircut and without the mustache

I HATED the mustache. The artwork here is gorgeous and I almost like the costume, but the reds don't seem deep enough and almost look orange. Also the thick red lines in his torso serve no purpose as originally they were part of the actual vest design as trim. Now it's a buttonless vest that seems like just one piece.

I liked his first RL suit, the second w/mustache just looked dumb and didn't even resemble Guy anymore. This is nice and simple, and tweaked it'd make for a perfect streamlined GL Guy suit, but for a G/R Lantern they could've done more...

~KL~

@smart_dork_dude: It´s classic costume but green and red. After seeing some lanterns like Kraken, they look way better in comparations.

So do I.

Guy has 2 rings!! Man all these developments are making me super stoked for this series!! :)

@the_tree said:

The Pyramid of Hate looks a lot like one of the Central Power Batteries the Lightsmiths used.

I think you may be on to something........

Look pretty nice.

Illuminati of Hate confirmed ? O.o

Guy with a red and green ring at the same time ? That will go well O.o

Three take away's for me. 1) I Like guy better with a beard. 2) There isn't really anything wrong with his costume but it will take some getting used too. Red Lantern Guy was the best dressed Guy in my opinion. 3) In the old universe that Relic originates from didn't the light bearers harness the power of the emotional spectrum through Pyramids in the same way that Lanterns use well Lanterns? Could these two things be related?

First thing I thought of is the lightsmiths. I'm hoping that's it because i liked that theory. But didn't like the "emotion is running out" crap

I like guy's new outfit.

And did I miss something, why is krona back? I'm super confused about that and feel that was the weirdest thing about the issue

Illuminerti

.............Maybe Guy met Gai? :P

It's most likely Krona before he figured out how to convert willpower to energy.

NO! Why did they ruin Guy's awesome hair and beard! D: That makes me so upset. I don't mind his new suit and am very happy he's still wearing a red ring but shaving his beard is NOT okay :[

So is "erasing matter from existence" the same as destroying it? or is it more like it never existed at all?

Winter is Coming.

@dondave: yeah which i think is cool but I'm still confused on why he's there and everybody is kind of like.... meh

This is the best Guy has looked almost ever

This looks interesting.

The Lightsmith's of Fury are on this unknown planet and I feel like this will be an awesome arc. I was really hoping that the Lightsmith's would somehow come back into the books.

Good to see Guy Gardner making an appearance. I thought the interaction with John and Guy was hilarious.

Such a blah issue. I hate when DC serves up a plodding, takes you nowhere comic. Guy's look is terrible and this issue was so lackluster that I'll probably pass on future issues.
