The doom beat continues, and I love it. Still feels very much like we're stood on the precipice, but we're learning more about all the pieces you're setting up on the board, so it's all good anticipation for the fall/game (either metaphor).
Surprised myself in how curious about Guy's predicament and what's happening to him (what is happening to him?), as he's usually something of a background character for me.

Oh, but still a few typos creeping in, including the title of this feedback thread.

This isn't the final version of the issue! I'm taking it down, new version back up in 2 hours. Sorry. I expect additional feedback

Next issue the shit hits the fan in a MASSIVE way. I'll tease something you'll have missed from the incomplete issue. Green Lantern #7's title: "STARS FALL"
Guy is my favourite Green Lantern, that much is going to become clear as we move forward. I wanted to take the classic trappings of a Green Lantern epic and subvert it. So yes, it may appear like Hal Jordan is the cornerstone, but we all know that's not the case. So for the next few issues... You're in a for a treat, and if you've read my entire run from the beginning, then you're in for a reward. Please have another look over the issue as there are some new nuggets you'll not have seen yet. Green Lantern: The fan fiction that just keeps giving.

I just finished writing #50.
It's been sent to Alex.
I'm going to sleep now.

Bradly Roth? Oh my!
All of the mystery surrounding the Red Lantern/Parallax conflict and Guy Gardner is intriguing. You did a real good job building that up.
Great job again.

Roth was always on the cards as a character, since the beginning of Vol 2., and over the course of figuring out his arc-- his past with John, his role in the present day-- it became apparent that he was really well placed to be something more thna what I had planned, so it was a combination of things that made him perfectly placed to be what he's revealed as in this issue... #51 is a follow up on this issue, and a kind of... "whatever happened to..." situation for both Roth and Evil Star, that should be really interesting to write. See you next month!

The Red Lanterns continue to be scary, brutal and maybe just a little bit... sympathetic? They are clearly an aggrieved party, but talk about an overcompensated response! Atrocitus is a complete monster.
The mystery of Parallax's future perfidy deepens (really, this issue should have been called "The Perfidy of Parallax"), as does the nature of Kyle Rayner's power.
And, speaking of mysteries, when did Sinestro get a first name? Thaal? As in, "They'll all hate this first name, so I'll go by the much cooler-sounding Sinestro, since, obviously my parents could see the future?"
Hal Jordan in a classic two single-sentence-paragraph scene, cluelessly drinking a beer and scratching his beard. Nice nod to his infamous 90s-era battle with the bottle!
Sinestro is a Green Lantern again! Ummm... Yay? Love the twist, but for what it's worth, I love a good moustache-twirling evil Sinestro! I like him so far, but I wonder if a fall from grace is in his future. And by wonder, I mean "hope."
Evil Star! Creepy!
So, it's a race to see who will get to Hal first! The GLC or the villains? Or cirrhosis.
Guy is sure having a hard time of it. This is a return to the harder-edged, more acerbic Guy Gardner that I like, too. Please don't kill him!
And again with the cliffhanger! That confrontation between John and Parallax... Onto the next issue!

The Red Lanterns continue to be scary, brutal and maybe just a little bit... sympathetic? They are clearly an aggrieved party, but talk about an overcompensated response! Atrocitus is a complete monster. Red Lanterns are completely sympathetic, and there are plans for either Green Lantern Annual or a Red Lantern Annual, showing where they came from, and provide a bit more context to their rage. Overcompensated response? You don't know what they've been through, or what they-- or more appropriately Atrocitus-- is about to go through. The mystery of Parallax's future perfidy deepens (really, this issue should have been called "The Perfidy of Parallax"), as does the nature of Kyle Rayner's power. That entire future would be covered in the aforementioned Annual... and we would see the man that Hal Jordan becomes when he loses everything... but accepts the help of everyone... unlike in our world! And, speaking of mysteries, when did Sinestro get a first name? Thaal? As in, "They'll all hate this first name, so I'll go by the much cooler-sounding Sinestro, since, obviously my parents could see the future?" It's been in mainstream DCU but I'm not sure when (more than likely a Geoff Johns creation). Hal Jordan in a classic two single-sentence-paragraph scene, cluelessly drinking a beer and scratching his beard. Nice nod to his infamous 90s-era battle with the bottle! Exactly. Thank you! Everything that has happened across the board and across the mythos builds this title into what it is. Hal is oblivious. The Corps are so intergalactic, so cosmic, that their actions don't impact Earth at all... not until next year, that is... Sinestro is a Green Lantern again! Ummm... Yay? Love the twist, but for what it's worth, I love a good moustache-twirling evil Sinestro! I like him so far, but I wonder if a fall from grace is in his future. And by wonder, I mean "hope." I would say that the Sinestro in the mainstream and his actions make perfect sense toward the villain he became, but in the DC2 he was corrupted externally by Legion and then Parallax. He never stopped being a Green Lantern, not really, so for him to escape all that, he's not got that bitter place to go to... unless there's bitterness because the Corps never came to rescue him... never came to find him... left him in Parallax's hands... Huh. We'll see. The idea was to make him a scary, very thoroughly threatening villain, but also build him toward being one of the main cast's archnemesis moving forward. You'll see more of him in #51, and then next year, he'll be building even bigger. His entire game is going to change in #7 (47) So, it's a race to see who will get to Hal first! The GLC or the villains? Or cirrhosis. One of the above, very much so. Guy is sure having a hard time of it. This is a return to the harder-edged, more acerbic Guy Gardner that I like, too. Please don't kill him! Uh-oh. Pre-emptive apology? And again with the cliffhanger! That confrontation between John and Parallax... Onto the next issue! Indeed, building towards the next big thing, which has all it's origins in #7 (47).
