Green Lanterns Lose Their Rings – For Decades – In DC Future State

As Bleeding Cool previously stated "Jo Mullein has the reputation of uniting the Green Lantern Corps in time to solve Oa's greatest mystery, is the ring loss that mystery?" and in today's Future State: Justice League from DC Comics, you get a glimpse of that.

As well as Jo Mullein at work in the new Justice League. Which means the Future State Green Lantern book also out today must be set a little further in the future.

"The future of the Green Lanterns is a ringless one. A bit like Star Trek: Discovery without the dilithium. So we have Green Lanterns, trapped with no ring to speak of. G'nort has become a far fiercer warrior – even more than John Stewart."

And John Stewart has a mission to find out just what happened.

Although he does manage to get a ring of sorts together.

We also stated that "Jessica Cruz is fighting Yellow Lanterns without a ring, Ripley style. Which Corps will she end up joining?" and we see more of, well, why not, let's call it "the Burn" shall we?

Here's that Ripley look we talked about.

But there is more than one Corps in play.

We also said "Guy Gardner, without a ring, could be the greatest peace bringer of all, across the decades? Less one punch, more one peace." and we see his own loss of power at the moment it happens.

But whatever John Stewart discovers, it doesn't look like he's going to be able to reverse anything. Just try and mature as a person, a leader, an icon.

Without great power, there must come great responsibility as someone once almost said. Future State: Green Lantern #1 and Future State: Justice League #1 are published today by DC Comics.
