Green Lantern Corp #9 - DC


This one wraps up the Green Lantern Corpse storyline. And it really goes out with a bang. The rock, which evolved the Dominator scientist, is responsible for leaving our entire team at death's doorstep. Well . . . maybe not all. While yes, R'amey was technically dead, she also died at the base of the rock. So whether it was the rock's involvement, or being a butterfly type character her own natural evolvement, or chrysalis, she has come back and meta-morphed in to something quite beautiful and powerful. Upon awakening, her first concern is for "Senior Corpsmen Gardner". He really is lying at death's doorstep. Mainly because his minds been damaged, and practically erased. But R'amey uses her new gifts to put him back together. And what about Draggle? Well, being a Durlan, he faked his death, then killed the Dominator's disciple and replaced him. So he is with him on earth trying to find out what the ultimate plan is, and hopefully disrupt it. He then poses as Darkseid, to try to scare the Dominator in to submission. Which of course doesn't work, but R'amey and Guy arrive just in time to turn the tide of the battle. But R'amey and Draggle use some pretty intense means to put down the Dominator. Guy has the anger and the drive, but they have the ruthlessness to do what had to be done. Knowing that Guy won't be able to live with what's been done, no matter what the reason or outcome, they pull the black charge out of him, and leave him lying on the moon with his recent memory erased. And Draggle and R'amey head back to the Dominion to take care of the rock, and now that the Corpse has been awaken and used, to keep it alive and ready for it's next call to action. However, we then find out that 15 minutes earlier another Dominator came into contact with the crystal and has also evolved. So obviously this isn't the end of the story. Fantastic story arc by Champagne and Gleason. This one gave us 2 more memorable characters, in our already enormous cast. But that's ok. We also got a new division of the Corps, which is pretty cool. It only makes sense, that in any police or intelligence organization, which really is what the GLC is, that they have at their disposal a "black-0ps" or "special forces" type team. To Cool! Keep up the good work!
