In tomorrow's Green Lantern #14, with the main strip tying in with Absolute Power, the backup by Marc Guggenheim and Darick Robertson introduces a new breed of Lanterns. Even if they believe there is nothing particularly different about them. As one Green Lantern dies…
…the Green Lantern transfer of power has been corrupted by someone on the inside. Traditionally, the Green Lantern power ring would seek out one of strong will and who knows no fear, to offer them the power of the Green Lantern. But they have a new mission now…
…. to seek out those who can be easily manipulated, And willing to pledge their truth – and power – to a leader without question. Thaaros of Elliosha, Lord-Premiere of the United Planets, corrupt and in league with Mongul and Amanda Waller. And to whom the Shadow Lanterns lift one arm in salute…
We are not talking about the greatest of subtlety here, just in case you managed to miss the political allegories being played with. Bring on the Marenghi…
"In deepest space on planets far and near,
The Shadow Lanterns now are here.
And all who would do evil will always fear
The army that does the will of its Lord Premier"
Does that scab? I am not entirely sure that these verses scan… Green Lantern #14 is published by DC Comics tomorrow.
