As I said, Hal got booted and is not an official GL anymore, John got conviced of murder and Guy led all the other GL's that were present on Oa broke ranks when the sentence was death- they broke John out of jail and fought the Alpha Lanterns to the death....so it's likely that John and Guy are at least on the run- as is Kyle after temporarly gaining ALL the spectrum's powers- and Sinestro is the GL of 2813, so there is a vacantcy.

Hal's not out of things just yet- Sinestro knew something bad had to be brewing so he used his will to make a new GL ring for Hal!
(this ring function was first shon back when Kyle had the only ring and again in Blackest Night)
Hal and Sinestro have been investigating and now know what's going on...but with no Sinestro Corps, the Blue Lanterns almost wiped out and their central battery destroyed, and the Red Lanterns almost all killed off after their central battery was posioned ....how can the Guardians be stopped?

It's crazy, but a really compelling storyline, so I'll reserve judgment on this "masked muslim" guy- hopefully he figures out (or gets instructed) that the ring makes him more than "angry guy with a gun".

Just remember the sucktastic first appearances of many beloved characters- Wolverine, Deadpool, Cable, etc.
