![]() Green Lantern: New Guardians #24 IGN: Alright, fair enough. You will see more of what happens to him after what happened to him in New Guardians #23. Will he be elsewhere? Jordan: There are plans for Saint Walker, but I can’t disclose them right now. IGN: Will he be a main part of the cast again? Jordan: In New Guardians? No. IGN: That leaves Saint Walker as the lone survivor of the Blue Lanterns, right? Jordan: Yes. IGN: Yeah, and Relic took out “hope” first, so that also has symbolic and emotional resonance. In an ideal world, it would have been nice to have them not lose their planet twice in a year, but that’s just bad luck for the Blue Lanterns, man. On the other hand, they need something to be hopeful against. It’s definitely one of those things that, yeah, it kinda sucks that the Blue Lanterns keep getting run out of each of their home planets. As it said in issue #23 of New Guardians, if you’re doing what Relic is doing, which is stopping people from using the light, going after the people that, A.) there are only a handful of, B.) are kind of vulnerable on their own, and C.) can supercharge other Lanterns’ abilities, that would have been my first thought, too. What gives? Why are the Blues such a big target? Justin Jordan: In this particular case, it’s because the Blue Lanterns are arguably the most powerful of the Lanterns. Now in your prelude to Lights Out in New Guardians, the Blue Lanterns are invaded and they lose their battery and their planet. Not too long ago when Tony Bedard was writing Green Lantern: New Guardians, the Blue Lanterns were invaded and they lost their battery and their planet. The fact that he’s isolated in many ways - emotionally, physically, geographically - from the rest of the people he’s been working with for so many years plays a big role in Lights Out. What’s it going to be like for him to react to what’s happening in Lights Out by himself? Soule: He is off by himself. Green Lantern #24 IGN: Guy is cut off and doesn’t know what’s happening and doesn’t know about Relic. Some of that is going to be playing into Lights Out in a way that I think is very interesting and will make a lot of sense, but will also be surprising and cool. ![]() ![]() The way they work is a little bit different than the other Corps. The other side of it is that there are things about the Red Lanterns that make them unique - their abilities, their rings. I would say the Red Lanterns aren’t “joiners.” They don’t generally help out unless there’s a real reason to do that. What will the nature of their involvement be in Lights Out? Guy Gardner can’t help out the way he could if he were still a Green Lantern. In the first part of Lights Out in Green Lantern #24, the characters from Green Lantern, Green Lantern Corps, and Green Lantern: New Guardians are all present, but your Red Lanterns book is the odd man out. IGN Comics: This question is for Charles. ![]()
