Hal Jordan And Kyle Rayner Team-Up In CONVERGENCE: GREEN LANTERN/PARALLAX
A Parallax infected Hal Jordan and a rookie Kyle Rayner must team up for Convergence tie-in, Convergence: Green Lantern/Parallax. Hit the jump to check out art for the limited series, and to hear what writer Tony Bedard had to say.
As part of DC's upcoming event, Convergence, a Parallax infected Hal Jordan and a rookie Kyle Rayner must join forces to fight opponents from Crisis on Infinite Earths and the Wildstorm Universe. This incarnation of Hal Jordan will be from a point directly after the destruction of the Green Lantern Corps, and will be dealing with the aftermath.
The series writer Tony Bedard spoke with Newsarama to explain some details about the limited series. He reveals that this Hal Jordan is from a point before the identity of Parallax was revealed.
Tony Bedard: This is the 1990s version, before Parallax was identified as the Fear Entity. We do sort of refer to Parallax as a separate identity. In fact, Kyle has befriended Hal and he keeps insisting that Parallax, not Hal Jordan, is responsible for the destruction on Oa. But Hal takes full responsibility for what he did, and the knowledge of his killing spree is too much to bear.
Bedard also reveals what threats from the Crisis on Infinite Earths and Wildstorm universes the duo will have to face.
Bedard: In Crisis on Infinite Earths, there was a scene in another reality where England won the Revolutionary War and now the Monarchy are super-people. Lady Quark is the queen, Lord Volt is the king, and Princess Fern is their daughter. It's Princess Fern and her army that attack Metropolis in Convergence: Green Lantern/Parallax. This may not sound like much of a threat, but she has plant-powers like Swamp Thing and proves a tougher adversary than either Hal or Kyle bargain for. But in a greater sense, the real struggle is between Hal and Kyle.
