Nekron seems to be ready for anything, taking out the Guardians early, the only beings who could really stand a chance against him (besides the White Entity) which isn't to easy to do seeing he had to work from within them to bring them down aka Scar.. Hope the Guardians start taking names after this, the ones that survive that is... 😖hifty:

I saw it but still, it may look that way,

Spoiler:
But bringing in another Ultimate Evil bad guy in the final issue seems like a strange way to play things, especially when so far Nekron has been impossible to harm.
Giving him an bad guy like the AM just seems to make thing ridiculous. That'd be two ultimate evils at once =/

Well he will appear in GLC, not BN8, or GL. Also, there is still a lot of time. The final issue will be 2x amount of pages, so that two issues really. Also, I believe that Nekron will just lose very easily.

Am I wrong or has Hal used all the different rings yet? I know he's had the green, yellow, blue, red and even orange all at one point!

Figured he'd have tried all but the black on by this point. 😬 As far as I know he's still not had the indigo, purple or black. Thou he's been dead and chased by it I know
Personally I hate Hal and a huge Kyle fan as I'm sure more realise but still shocked he wasn't the first.

he never wore an orange ring.

also, i saw this earlier, from when Hal had the Blue Ring:

the second panel strikes me as important, especially after what just happened in BN 7.

I agree, Morrison even said the monitors are another name for angels and Mandrakk knows about God somehow so where he fits in with the angels in Heaven or the fallen ones is still unknown, maybe a physical manifestation of them?? After The Source creates Earth and speaks the Life Entity into existance it creates the GodWorld and sometime afterward life develops on Maltus they are known as the Maltusians. The Old Gods destroy themselves eons of years later and The Fourth World is born. 😎

But here's the issue. The 1st world is Urgrund, there was no Earth. Earth came later, it would be better to retcon Earth as the place where life began in the 3d dimension. Hopefully this idea doesn't spring up after BN, which shouldn't affect the White Entity in the long run imo.

Otherwise this idea really doesn't consider all the other beings, Monitors and Old Gods who existed before Earth itself was even created.

Urgrund is called the 1st world for a reason, the 1st age of existence which was followed by the 2nd world where the Old Gods were formed (2nd epoch of existence) etc

When the Presence said "Let there be light" the white entity was what was created, i thought.

I don't see how it impacts over all that other stuff, tbh...

Actually he was the Orange lantern for a few moments when he took Larfleeze's battery. So technically you may be right about him not actually having an orange ring but it's essensically the same thing reguardless of weather or not there was an actual ring to represent it.

Still that being said, I'd jus assumed when he became the orange lantern with the battery he'd had a ring to match. 😕

he wasn't an orange lantern, though. luthor is an orange lantern. larfleeze is one. hal had the battery for a couple of seconds (two actual panels), and then it got taken away. and he had no ring.

not really the same thing as when he was red, green or blue. and he wasn't even a yellow lantern either. he just wore the rings as his own was out of juice. he was as much a member of the sinestro corps as guy gardner was.

I don't think it does, but when you introduce a new character its usually better to have him/it have some cohesion with what has already been put forward.

And the idea of Oa being one of the oldest planets and certainly older by millenia than Earth was supposed to be something set in stone, kind of a slap in the face of the prestige the original character creators gave to the Oans. Johns just turned that classic backstory it into a lie, a bit anti-climatic.

I now feel the Guardians need their own rebirth event, a story to give them back what they've lost, they've been marginalized of late tbh.

Yea, I still would put Urgrund as the first world as it was made by The Source/God 18/19 Billion years ago which was way before life appeared on Maltus (and Oa after they moved there) and Earth which began 10 Billion years ago. It does not however follow other continuity where Dream was the one who made life possible on Earth, I don't know whats so hard about working with the beings they have and with continuity the way it is then going off making a whole new one up... 😠

I hope the White Lantern, if there is one, turns out to be the supreme villain.

That would be sweet.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's what it ends up to.
