Comment(s):
- The number of Guardians has increased from five to seven, returning to the virtually identical, elderly Guardians of years past. Whether we will see the Guardians individualized at a later date remains to be seen.
- It's likely two of the pirates - a woman and a pterodactyl-like alien were killed by the Anti-Matter Lantern shortly after Maxim Tox was killed, bringing the body count to four as mentioned by Kommander Kraak. One of the dead pirates might have been the small Starro seen by Maxim Tox.
- This issue came with a lithograph by Liam Sharp and Steve Oliff.
- Story continues in the next issue.

Solicitation:
- Superstar writer Grant Morrison (Batman, All-Star Superman) returns to DC alongside red-hot artist Liam Sharp (The Brave AND the Bold, Wonder Woman) to launch a new, ongoing series: THE GREEN LANTERN!
- In this debut issue, when Earth’s space cop, Hal Jordan, encounters an alien hiding in plain sight, it sets off a chain of events that rocks the Green Lantern Corps—and quite possibly the Multiverse at large—to its very core. There’s an inter-galactic conspiracy afoot, as well as a traitor in the GL Corps’ ranks, so strap in for more mind-bending adventures in this masterpiece in the making.
