    Where's the Rayner Pic from ?
    ... I personally Thought During Blackest Night, something was gonna Happen to 1 of the 4 Earth Lanterns. ... Death, or someone would become a different Lantern. I find it hard to believe that Johns would Kill Rayner. It doesn't really fit his M/O .

      That's from GLCorps #43,this week's issue. I seriously doubt either is really dead or even will be in the opening pages of the next issue.

      Solicitations from DC for the past month or so revealed Guy Gardner becoming a Red Lantern.

          Makes Perfect Sense..., Even more so considering , I think whenever any Black Lantern ever See's Him,.. he is Always Red, and Never a Different color.

            Of course they are dead. When somebody dies in a comic storyline, they stay dead...Dont they?.....I mean....why it would be unethical to.............Bah--I cant continue on with a straight face, NOBODY dies in comics...EVER. They just get messed up, their continuity spit on, and then get revived a couple of times by pimply faced hacks, who again spit on past history, before its done in an acceptable way. Its the new gold standard of the business!

              Doesn't it mean Kyle will wind up being a Black Lantern anyways?

                How does killing someone not fit Johns's m/o?

                      A funny aside to this conversation...whenever I attempt to explain a storyline from the comics to my non-reader wife, she will say to me "Don't ever complain about soap operas to me again, they are the same thing except the characters don't wear costumes & punch each other, they wear business suits and have sex."
                      Yesterday she's listening to some interview with soap guyEric Braeden (from Rat Patrol!), and he's telling them about how his character was killed off during his contract negotiations, but since they came to agreement, they'll be bringing him back from the dead in "a stunning new plotline!". I just pictured him with a Black Lantern ring ripping hearts out of his co-stars!

                        Ah...Victor from The Young and the Restless. And don't give me grief, he's been on that show since the dawn of time, and that was my mom's favorite soap. I saw on one of the Soap Digest covers in the checkout line that he had been let go. Guess he's back.

                        As for Kyle, Johns could have killed him during Rebirth and he didn't. That was the easy way out with Kyle, but he actually made him a lynch pin to the whole series. Maybe Kyle will "infiltrate" the Black Lanterns?

                        Punisher has been dead a few times already right? I know at one time he came back as an undead monster killer or something? Had some mystic tattoo on his head.


                        EDITED TO ADD: What in the heck happened to the Punisher? Crossover with Wolverine go bad? That is one of the most gruesome panels I've seen with a mainstream character. Ugh.

                          The Punisher? Hacked to pieces in a dark, rainy alley? Merely resting after a prolonged squawk.
                          Kyle Rayner? Savagely beaten? He's just pining for the fjords.
                          "It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."

                            Punisher - we should be so lucky talk about a character who has outlived usefulness

                            Kyle - my prediction a hiatus before the 3rd coming of ION to end all the lantern rainbow madness when sales begin to drop

                              I hope not I like Kyle, could care less for Punisher, for Kyle if Jade is coming back he needs to be around.
