In addtion to the GREEN (will) power ring of the Lanterns, there is now YELLOW (fear) rings of the SINESTRO CORPS , VIOLET (love), RED (rage), ORANGE (greed), BLUE (hope), INDIGO (compassion) and the new mysterious BLACK RINGS of the DEAD.
MONGUL has acquired a GREEN Lantern ring and a YELLOW SINESTRO ring. He is now on the hunt for more rings - I assume to collect all seven. The upcoming GREEN LANTERN event looks pretty freaking sweet.... sweet and familiar.
I'm a bit surprised DC is blatantly ripping off Marvel's THANOS QUEST/INFINITY GAUNTLET event from 1990/1, where THANOS seeked out and acquired the 6 INFINITY GEMS to create & wield the INFINITY GAUNTLET (it's awesome, go pick up the collected book!)
Although, Marvel and DC are often "mirrors" of one another in almost every fashion, so perhaps this was inevitable(?). Anyway, just wanted to point out the similarities.
I'm still STOKED to read the storyline.... GREEN LANTERN has been one of the best comics out there since GEOFF JOHNS took hold of the reins.

holy crap!
I did not notice the similarities before.
it's so obvious now! Duh!
My mind is really slipping with age.
Just you wait, Jim!
Thanos Quest, Infinite Gauntlet...
this is DC version of those ideas...
More importantly, I hope the new star trek movie doesn't suck......
ummm,...isn't that what Jim just said?????
