Comment(s):

In a prerecorded message, the Guardians establish the chain of command in their absence; the Clarissi, currently Salaak, then the Illustres, currently Honor Guard Guy Gardner and Kyle Rayner. This prevents a takeover by the ALpha Lanterns.
Salaak orders the power rings to divert to Mogo, rather than seek out new recruits who would be placed in immediate danger.
Bannered as a Blackest Night issue.

BLACKEST NIGHT EVENT part 14 of 79!
The battle continues on Oa as the honored dead of the Green Lantern Corps and the recently deceased Sciencell convicts who lost their lives in the riots have all become Black Lanterns and will not rest until the bloody hearts and minds of the Green Lanterns are literally in their hands. Kyle Rayner, Guy Gardener and John Stewart resort to their most brutal fighting yet as the Blackest Night threatens to envelop Sector Zero and send the universe reeling into chaos!
