What happens when a Green Lantern goes red? Adam Schlagman knows

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

By Alex Segura

What would drive a Lantern to abandon the ways of willpower for pure rage? We’re not sure, but we’re curious to find out. So, we asked GREEN LANTERN CORPS Editor Adam Schlagman to give us some info. And he was kind enough to throw in some art. So, take it away, Adam:

What could turn the most bad ass Green Lantern into a crimson spewing red one? Find out in Green Lantern Corps #42 (on-sale November 11th) as Guy Gardner experiences a tragedy so utterly terrible that he loses complete control in Green Lantern Corps #43 (December on-sale) leading to his selection by a red ring of rage. Welcome to the Red Lantern Corps, Guy Gardner!

In the meantime, wet your appetite with this awesome design by Green Lantern Corps artist Pat Gleason then pick up Green Lantern Corps #42 on Wednesday to witness the shocking ending that only writer Peter J. Tomasi could tell.

    …as Guy Gardner experiences a tragedy so utterly terrible that he loses complete control… uh oh! is this meant Ice going to die?

  2. meisterlegion says on :

    I like Guy :(

    This is terrible…he did come from an abusive family and a father that beat him. I can understand how there might be hidden rage that might surface during Blackest Night.

    I’ll just remember him from his fun-loving wacky adventures in the JLI and from last months HALLOWEEN SPECIAL.

    I can’t see them killing Ice *again* especially since she just came back. Unless all the Black Lanterns are coming back from the dead.

    On a different note: Can we please center Guy’s logo on his chest? It used to be that way back in the day. Now, it’s off to the side down by his waist. What happened?

    The info for GLC 43 say’s “a horrible loss for the Green Lantern Corps” is what makes Guy go Red, so I’m thinking Kilowog gets killed. I hope not tho.

    Zombieted, personally i like that Guy’s lantern symbol isn’t centered. It’s part of what makes him unique in the Corps

    I’m just hoping its not Arisia. Yes I am feeling bad that this happens to Guy. But hopefully he’ll go green by the end of it all again or maybe even blue? perhaps he who overcomes a great tragedy gets the blue ring and it will be redemption. Would also like Guy so go indigo.

    Hope it’s not Tora. :[

    How about the death of Kyle? I mean, I do not want this to happen, but that would be pretty devastating wouldn’t it?

  9. zombieted says on :

    @asti316, originally, it was centered: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y26/Galan1/GuyGardner.jpg

    To me it just looks like the artists keep drawing it wrong.

  10. batmanners says on :

    This seems like a pretty big jump for the character. Though I’m eager to see the beautiful regurgitating process of becoming a Red Lantern (;)), it seems like this is the end of the road for Guy. Has a Red Lantern ever been turned back before?

  11. burro787 says on :

    I doubt that kyle is going to die. Him and Soranak are in pretty good shape right now. While Killowag seems screwed.

  12. komikboy says on :

    Kilowog it the 2nd “alien” or “old” GLC i really like the most. I really hope he’s not going to die… while yea… somehow he’s going to be… T.T

  13. runnerx13 says on :

    Can Guy really get any angrier?

  14. donnatroyboy says on :

    RIP Kyle Rayner. I sense a black ring coming for him.

  15. aaronturon says on :

    Ice going to die? Okay. He’s going to lose his cool!

  16. asti316 says on :

    It’s not Ice but it is a human, and a GL

  17. Josh2814 says on :

    “Has a Red Lantern ever been turned back before?”

    Yes, when Saint Walker gave Hal Jordan a blue ring.

  18. Aleclom says on :

    :( That was incredibly unexpected, and very sad.

  19. meisterlegion says on :

    I can’t believe it…

  20. sourceoftheguile says on :

    Hal Jordan was the GL of my teens and early twenties. But Kyle was the GL of my twenties and thirties… Ron Marz really broke the mold when he created this sensitive artist turned incredibly creative Green Lantern and hero. Beating villains with giant green sumos or robots… Blackest Night better end with alot of heros coming back to true life! And Kyle better be one of them!

  21. Kooster says on :

    Guy Gardner as a Red Lantern…awesome! I guess that when this happens, that Hal Jordan and company won’t have to worry about which Red Lantern to recruit into their White Light Corps.

    Yes, I’m using the term White Light Corps because what happens when you combine all of the rainbow Lantern colors together?

  22. eldonte says on :

    An awe-inspiring act of bravery. My only hope is that it was not in vain. Maybe Guy’s turn to the Red Lanterns is a major turning point in the War of Light; bringing the various Corps together
