Ion - Guardian of the Universe #12 - DC


Although this is the last issue of this series, it really seems, almost, like a prelude to something else. There are just to many pieces that have been brought in to place, at the end here, that really have no plausible explanation, or at least not ones that we're privy to. Yet. I mean, we don't really know why he's fighting Gravyn, or why Gravyn's really after him. Also, Gravyn had something to do with Nero, and Kyle's mom. On this latest journey, he's also crossed paths again with Donna. Which really seems like to much of a coincidence. Also we have this whole thing going on with the Monitors. Them seem to be particularly interested in Kyle. But we don't know why yet. All we know is that they think he's the herald to something. He goes back home to be with his mother, but she's already passed. He does the unthinkable, and uses his power to bring her back to a semblance of life. But, really, it's an abomination. And he knows that. I think he really just wanted to say good-bye. So now he's the "Guardian of the Universe". All of his earthly ties have been taken from him. And other than his painting, he seems directionless. Which, in the DC universe, means that he's on the first step to a new path. Well . . . that and the final page where we see all the Sinestro rings flying through space, and dispersing throughout. So I guess the Sinestro Corps Special, coming out this summer, holds the next chapter in Kyle's life. I hope they do this right, because for a fill-in, he has turned out to be a fantastic character. So we'll wait a couple of months, and see where he goes from here. Good luck Kyle!
