With all the Green Lantern movie news in the past week I nearly forgot that Green Lantern: Emerald Warriors #9 came out as part six of the War of the Green Lanterns. When we last saw our four former Green Lanterns of Earth in Green Lantern Corps #59 they had just discovered the horrible news that Mogo had fallen prey to the corrupting influence of Krona and Parallax, with the issue ending with our four protagonists under attack by the largest member of the Green Lantern Corps. As we cross the midway point of this crossover event the different story elements start to merge with the four heroes learning some of the events that we readers have already witness and the secrets of the Guardians' past start to get exposed.
The Story -
On Oa Guy, Hal, John and Kyle try to make a hasty retreat as Mogo continues to lay down an offensive assault, and the living planet is joined by more members of the Parallax controlled members of the Green Lantern Corps. Leaving Ganthet behind the four men pull back as Guy Gardner, the wielder of the red power ring, lays down cover with Hal pulling a page from the Flash's playbook and suggests creating a whirlwind to mask their escape beneath the surface of the planet.
