The Guardians then put all their remaining power into Ganthet, thereby killing themselves and making Ganthet the sole remaining Guardian, who then found Kyle Rayner and gave him the only Power Ring left, making him the sole remaining Green Lantern. So...

Main power source offline/destroyed? Check.
All other Corps members either dead or de-powered? Check.
A newbie with little to no backstory or involvement with the Corps is now the sole member? Check.

Btw, and thanks for the summary regarding the recent events with Nova. All I've known up till now is his origin and the basics.



I'd have to agree with you. At that point, it's not catering to the fans, it's a half-assed excuse to cover up the fact that the writers fubar'd a bit of their own continuity and that this is only to get a boost from USM's version of Nova.

From a business standpoint, I completely understand the decision. But I have to say it wasn't the best way they could have handled the transition.



Maybe with Marvel's new-found desire to refocus on a single, over-arching and tightly-knit continuity will help keep Jeph from fucking around too much. Otherwise, I feel for you guys.

Hahaha, with respect to schooling me on GL history. That's what happens when your only knowledge of the mythology spans from Reborn to Brightest Day. I see your point.

I can say I enjoyed DnA's entire marvel cosmic run much more than what I admitted reading for GL. Not trying to make an argument over what franchise is superior, by any means, I like both but definitely have a marvel cosmic preference.
