and the first White Lantern is… SINESTRO?!?!?!

While I’ve been saying all along that we’d end up with White Lanterns… I must admit I didn’t anticipate who would wear the first white ring. Sinestro! I’d have kept it under my hat but DC already let the cat out of the bag with the recently released covers to Green Lantern #52.

This has me thinking all KINDS of interesting thoughts about what Brightest Day might be about… Sinestro was the ultimate law and order type… to the point of murderous fascism. Will GL and the rest of the New Guardians let him keep that level of power? What would he do with it? Will he lead the DCU into a Platinum Age or a Police State?

What if Brightest Day is Sinestro and a fascist White Lantern Corps goose stepping across the cosmos? I think that is FAR more likely than him becoming a genuine force for good. We’ll have to wait and see if he gets to keep the new bling.
