He's secretly undercover, she's secretly seeing someone else, now another one's secretly alive? Where's 'trust' on the emotional spectrum?

In the DCU alien races probably see earthlings as trouble, mavericks and rule-breakers. I wonder if they don't also see us as emotionally stunted, to boot. From 2013, Green Lantern Annual #2, "Lights Out, part five: the Source" Written by Robert Venditti, pencils by Sean Chan, inks by Jon Sibal and Walden Wong.

This was the end of another Lantern book crossover, and bits of it feel like homages even if they were established DC lore: the bad guy, Relic, was from the universe before this one, like Galactus was. And the Source Wall is involved: I hadda look up if it predated Star Trek's galactic barrier: it does not, although it does seem nicer. While he was trying to wipe out the assorted ring-bearers, Relic might have a point: their assorted usages of emotionally-charged light was draining the universe's supply of it; no one had considered it might be a finite resource. Well, except maybe David Byrne: I always thought he said there was a finite amount of music in the universe, but he might have said jokes instead.

I don't know when this happened, but somewhere there was a retcon making Guy Gardner and John Stewart much closer pals than I remember; John is pissed at Guy for defecting to the Red Lanterns, and still pissed when he finds Guy had gone undercover there. Kyle had been captured by Relic, and no one knew where they were, but Carol can sense him through the Star Sapphire and the power of love; which Hal takes with the emotional maturity that you'd expect. Kilowog saying "Awkward" is funny; but kinda feel like he'd want them to keep on mission there. At the Source Wall, Relic experiments with White Lantern Kyle, in the hopes of...I don't know, cracking him open like an egg and somehow refilling the universe's emotional reservoir. The remaining assorted Lantern corps show up, and in the fight attempt to shove Relic into the Source Wall, where he would become part of it: Kyle realizes he gains power by fighting for life, and charges up, dragging himself and Relic in.

With Relic defeated, the Greens were down to like 2% power, and Hal seemingly resigns himself to death: Guy tells him the Reds wouldn't help, maybe not out of any particular beef with them, they just weren't a helpful lot. I can't recall if the Pinks could make constructs, since Hal tells Carol to go rather than watch them die in space. John had planned ahead though, and had the Indigo Lanterns to teleport them home, which after the destruction of Oa, was now Mogo! Complete with rebuilt power battery: John had asked the Indigos to help with that as well; but they also inadvertently teleported Guy with the Reds, seemingly leaving him in danger. (I think Guy was fine, and possibly more at home with the Reds at that point.) The moment of triumph is further stepped on by some Greens quitting, since they thought using the power would drain the universe again, and didn't want in on that.

Back at the Source Wall, the New Guardians are studying Relic, when Kyle returns: a big deal, since that was supposedly impossible, although I feel like Darkseid and possibly Metron had done it four or five times before. The emotional entities of the various spectrums had sacrificed themselves, but Kyle didn't remember anything else. One Guardian tries to look in Kyle's memories but seemingly can't; although it would be more fun if that wasn't Lantern-stuff but just Kyle's artist-head that was too much for him. (Don't look in Kyle's head without permission, he has to clean up a few things first...) The Guardians proclaim his return had to be kept secret...for reasons; I don't know. Probably to wreck his relationship with Carol, no doubt.
