I picked up the first issue of Green Lantern Corps: Edge of Oblivion this week and, on the whole, it wasn’t too bad – certainly no better or worse than Green Lantern: Lost Army which it follows. However, being the nit picking kind of guy I am, one thing did jump out at me.
Towards the start of the issue, the Corps members led by John Stewart are gathering to discuss what happens and this conversation takes place:
First glance that’s nothing unusual – they need to find the other Corps members and look for a way back to the universe and time they left behind.
But hang on, let’s take a closer look:
Guy Gardner says they’ve been exploring the dying universe for six months.
John Stewart says finding the missing Corps members needs to be their first priority.
First priority?! If that’s the case, why have they spent six months exploring? Why haven’t they spent six months looking for the rest of the Corps?
It’s a situation made all the more absurd because Graf Toren comes up with the idea of asking Mogo to shine like a beacon and what do you know? The rest of the Corps see it and head towards it!
Six months of not bothering to look for the missing Corps members then, when they decide to, they find them in five minutes!
Suffering Sappho, this does not bode well for the rest of the series!
