When you get kidnapped by the zombie apocalypse the odds of not coming back as a zombie are always zero. Even in a pace opera setting the tropes of a particular story apply.

Though, I'll admit I assumed he would be their version of Ion.

And how in the hell could AM be transformed anyway? A.) He wasn't dead when Nekron fashioned the lantern housing around him, and B.) How can a being composed of pure anti-matter energy be transformed into a Black Lantern anyway?

Antimatter Black Ring?

That is just stupid, imo.

But look at him.

Maybe. Who knows what Johns will come up with next?

Interesting. AM returning as the BL. IT's cool, but well see how Johnz pulls it off

First of all, thanks for the spoilers guys... 🙁

second, i can see him being a general of sorts, like Scar or something. That would be cool imo.

He can't be the Guardian seeing as Black is already, though...

Well once the huge picture was posted there didn't seem to be much point in avoiding the subject.

Seems like an unfortunate use for such a powerful character. I hope he breaks free, I think that would be an awesome way to turn the tide.

Did anyone else think that was incredibly lame compared to all the other ones?

Maybe someone needs a perm ban?

Let's ban Johns. Every time he puts out another issue plot points end up getting revealed. It's like he's doing it deliberately.

im not willing to write it off as the stupidest thing ive ever heard til i see what happens...im gonna let the numbers play out on this one..for it is mathematically impossible for him to be demoted to a mere BL when he was the guardian of the sinestro Corps, and had heavy weights like Cyborg Supes and SBP under his thumb.. in my heart of hearts im hoping that it is some sleight of hand nonsense where he was just whisked away and put in the battery to recharge his antimatter energies..thats the only thing i'll accept..but its a moot point cuz im way over BN anyway..what the **** are they doing.. its like cramming for a test the night b4 or something..they should have brought him out in issue #3...

Well see how he pulls this off with AM as a BL, time will tell. Going to take a lot to bring AM down for sure!

Yes, bring back Super Boy Prime! Then it'll truly to a battle of the powerhouses.

yeah, i know. i just wish people (i dont remember who it was) could have just linked to the picture with the words "careful: spoilers" or something.

if he breaks free, then what, though? i really don't see him turning against nekron as being some uber show-down or anything like that, especially with the spectre and now parallax hanging around...

lame? no. disappointing? a little.

Everybody knew he would be back anyway just not a Black Lantern.

Sorry about that, after Wrathful Dwarf spoiled it, I thought the picture wouldn't hurt.

yeah, true. i just remember what it was like at the end of sinestro corps special when they revealed the big bosses of the Sinestro Corps. That was an awesome, unspoiled reveal, and i was blown away.

Shit, I just saw what happened to Kris.

Can someone please explain to me what Diana meant when she said re: Mera "No wonder she hates herself?"

Was it due to failure, or something?

Also, bar some nice art, the WW tie in has been pretty weak imo. Need to read the rest of Flash and JSA, but yeah, added nothing to the story.
