In the midst of his lesson, Kyle and J'onn discover a huge spaceship that begins terraforming Earth. The two Justice Leaguer's attack the ship and, even though J'onn is reluctant about trusting the fate of an entire world to another Green Lantern, orders Kyle to find a way to sneak into the ship. Inside, they discover discover its crew is dead and the ship is on autopilot. Unable to find a way to stop it, Kyle is about to destroy the computer, but J'onn refuses to do so.

Notes

  • This issue takes place at the end of JLA #5 (the JLA meeting Kyle is attending references the recent "passing" of Tomorrow Woman) and concurrently with Unlimited Access #1 (which explicitly references Access's appearance in this issue, complete with flashback and footnote).
  • When Martian Manhunter tells Kyle "The last time I trusted a Green Lantern, an entire world died," he's referencing Cosmic Odyssey #2, when John Stewart failed to stop Xanshi's destruction.

Trivia

  • The "guy on the surfboard" Access mentions is, of course, Marvel's Silver Surfer, who can't be explicitly referenced by name here for legal reasons.
