Defund The Green Lantern Corps (Justice League Vs Legion #2 Spoilers)

Published Tue, 08 Mar 2022 05:38:10 -0600

Tomorrow sees the publication of Justice League Vs Legion Of Super Heroes #2 by Brian Michael Bendis and Scott Godlewski published by DC Comics. And sees the future and the present day clashing in more ways than one. Including the appearance of the Gold Lantern of the 31st Century and a little exposition of how the Gold Lanterns were formed from the detritus of the Green Lanterns.

Previously in Legion Of Super-Heroes #12 by Brian Bendis, Ryan Sook, Wade Von Grawbadger, Jordie Bellaire, and Dave Sharpe, we discovered that his power ring is not a Green Lantern ring at all. With future Brainiac explaining that the people who gave him the ring were not Elders of Oa.

So as the League and the Legion deal with the encroaching Great Darkness across the centuries (which will no doubt tie into the upcoming Death of The Justice League and Flashpoint Beyond stuff) we get to see the journey of Kala Lour to becoming a Gold Lantern – and also being portrayed slightly differently than previously…

"Having done more research, it is clear to me that the Green Lantern Corps at its core was a military. I cannot bring one being's idea of justice to a place where it might not be appropriate. I'm certainly not made to moralize over others." Which is as close to "defund the Green Lantern Corps" as you are going to get. Just no one mention the Corps-core homonym, okay? Or whoever has been messing with this comic book's pallette…
