Thered andorange rings head into space, eventually finding owners with the son of the leader of the Gorn Hegemony and the Praetor of theRomulan Empire, respectively.

A battle ensues, and it is discovered that three other Green Lanterns -John Stewart,Guy Gardner, andKilowog - have survived the death of their universe, but what no one has counted on is that Nekron has also made his way to the new universe, and is determined to slaughter it as he did his own, and starts by restoring the destroyed planetVulcan, and makingBlack Lanterns out of the populace.
