The hatchway scene of Issue # 50 reveals that John Stewart ’s ring is apparently malfunctioning . When John is overwhelmed by a mysterious enemy , his tintinnabulation refuses to send out a Mayday . Instead , it sends a simple message back to the Guardians ; " Lantern Stewart reports terror resolve . condition : strong . " It does n’t take the Green Lanterns long to realize their Corps Leader has live missing , of trend , and soon they ’ve get down trying to hunt him down . By the destruction of the event , though , it ’s reset the cataclysm is only going to step up .
A Green Lantern is drained , and the rings are turning the Lanterns against one another .
Writer Dan Jurgens has spent the last two age writingAction Comics , but has now traded in his cape for a power ring . His first patch hope to be a spectacular one , with the Green Lanterns manipulated and shop by the very magnate gang they emphatically wield . The hatchway scene of the issue teases that this nightmare spring from something far more dangerous , some variety of dross inside the Power Battery itself . If that ’s the case , the most likely culprit isParallax- a demonic reverence entity that was trapped within the Power Battery for millennia . Parallax is one of the Corps ' most life-threatening enemies , even possess Hal Jordan for a time .
Jurgen ’s first issue is a stiff one , although he does seem to be struggle to make the reference feel recognizable ; Jessica Cruz feels ever - so - slightly out of character . That ’s a shame , given her battle with anxiousness has been one of the strongest case arcs in advanced comics ; hopefully as Jurgen ’s run continues , he ’ll develop a strong sense of Jessica ’s articulation .
That problem is fall a lilliputian in that Jurgens seems to stand for to habituate the entire Green Lantern Corps as secondary characters , rather than continue centre on Jessica and her partner Simon Baz ’s adventures on Earth .
