I like Kyle as a character but this series is taking way too long to get moving. Plus one lousy mystery solved in the pages of Batman is enough. As for what Kyle is becoming the answer would be boring.

My guess is that they are trying to tell a 6 issue story in 12 issues. Any way onto the questions I have.

Is Major Force a Kyle Rayners big enemy/badguy thing?

Was Donna, Jade and MF Mogo trying to stop kyle from being afraid?

Just how cool is Mogo?

Does Mogo orbit a star?

Where is Mogo's ring?

How does Mogo recharge his ring?

Can Mogo fly around the Universe using his green lantern powers or is he always in the same place?

I can only answer one but Major Force stuck Kyles girlfriends head in the freezer and then tried to off his mother. Kyle thought he killed him but he has reappeared elsewhere if i recall things right.

Can Mogo fly around the Universe using his green lantern powers or is he always in the same place? Major Force is like kyles main bad guy. Major Force killed his girlfriend Alex when he first got the ring and he has blamed himself for it ever since. In his last issues of Green Lantern since major force can't die kyle literaly takes his soul out his body and shoots it into space but apparntly Major Force is back. Mogo is a living planet that is also a green lantern, I'm not sure about his ring. I think maybe he absorbed its energy.

I looked Mogo up on wikipedia. This is what I found out.

Mogo uses holograms to communicate.

Mogo is incredibly cool.

It doesn't look like mogo orbits a star. He can fly around the universe. Theoretically he has to be careful of something called roche limits which prevents him from approaching other planets.

It looks like he has some form of ring.

He has a direct link to power battery which he once lost contact with.

Mogo is pretty important. It is said that if Mogo dies it will end the Green Lantern Corps forever.

The more I find out about Mogo the cooler he is. Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to make a civil war Mogo Banner.

I enjoyed the issue and can't wait to see where Marz is going with this one. I hope Kyle didn't nuke Mogo . . .

This series has been interesting so far and I'm looking forward to more. I just wanna know exactly what was causing him to go nutty and black out.

I still think that it is a good series. Kyle's blackouts are seemingly caused by his body trying to combine the starheart with the regular Green Lantern energy.

Here's what I don't get.

When Kyle first became Ion, he did so by absorbing the remaining Parallax energy Hal left in our sun after he'd defeated Alexander Nero. All it did was make his ring even more powerful, to the point that he was able to do all kinds of stuff, like exist in several places at one moment, and even give Jenny back her natural Starheart powers, which she'd lost. Then, he gave up all of the Parallax power to reignite the Central Battery and give birth to the current Guardians. So, all of that- Jenny's Starheart, the new battery powering the new Corps, and all 35 of the new Guardians- came from the Parallax power.

Now, Kyle remained a little more powerful afterwards. He didn't need to recharge his ring every twenty-four hours, like the rest of the Corps, and he had greater reserves of energy. Essentially, though, he was back to being a Green Lantern. Then, Jenny dies and gives Kyle her Starheart power in the process. This doesn't do anything to his ring, it just goes into him. Alan had the same thing happen to him, when the Starheart integrated into his body. So, the "mystery" is why Kyle's having more trouble with it than Alan.

My only guess is that it's because of the way he got it from Jenny, and the fact that it was Ion and the Parallax energy that gave her back her powers in the first place. This series is moving really slow, though. It needs to pick up the pace.

I'm giving all of this OYL stuff a lot longer to grab me than I normally would. Everything moves slow after a crossover, especially something as huge as another Crisis.

I had a question is Ion a good start to be reading the green lanter series???

Absolutely not. If you go into Ion knowing nothing about Kyle's history, you'll probably hate it. I'd say, if you want to get into the new Green Lantern books, pick up Recharge and then start reading the new Green Lantern Corps series. The title character book, Green Lantern, is about Hal, and unless you like Hal I doubt you'll be that interested in the book. Ion is about Kyle, and if you know nothing of Kyle, it'll be a struggling read. The Corps book, however, is about Guy, Kilowog, and a bunch of fresh faces in the Green Lantern Corps. If you're really interested in reading a Lantern book, I'd suggest that one.

Jeez, Jack, chase off a prospective reader, why don't ya? ;)

Ion is a bit obtuse on purpose. What's happening to Kyle is supposed to unfold as a mystery, but all will be made clear. (And just so you know, your guess is wrong.)

Soph, if you want to read about Kyle, Ion is your book. If you want Hal, read the GL title. If you want Guy Gardner, read Green Lantern Corps. There's a flavor for everybody.

First time Kyle was Ion he had just Central Battery power.

When Alan absorbed the Starheart it was just that and nothing else.

Kyle's difficulties seem to be coming from the fact that he has Oan and Starheart powers at once, and the technology and magic don't seem to mix very well.

I was saving him some head-scratching. To be fair, you're bringing up a lot of Kyle's history- at least, so far. For someone who's only known Kyle through the events of Infinite Crisis and the Rann/Thanagar War, it could be a challenging read. If he's interested in he character, though, I'd suggest Green Lantern: A New Dawn, which should relatively catch him up on the basics of Kyle's character.

Y'never know, though, Ron. He might get the trade in the future. ;)

First time Kyle was Ion he had just Central Battery power.

You sure? I know Hal left that bit of power behind from his time as Parallax, but yeah, he did tap out the Central Battery for it. In the end, though, Kyle manages to reiginite the battery while retaining some of the power he'd gotten from Parallax. I'unno.

Kyle's difficulties seem to be coming from the fact that he has Oan and Starheart powers at once, and the technology and magic don't seem to mix very well.

That is a very interesting idea, especially given the current Blue Beetle's effect on Green Lantern rings due to his blend of magic and technology powers.

It looks like in issue 5 Hal and Kyle take on the yellow impurity that possesed hal and made him parallax. I'm guessing that the impurity has some how entered kyle and that is causing him to black out.

If I recall right wasnt paralax the name of the creature that causes the yellow impurity cus he is in the battery? I dont see how they could just fight the yellow impurity.

I've felt this series has been progressing very slowly as well, but at least with issue #3, things are starting to go somewhere. I think as soon as things start picking up, this'll be a good read (well, even better read). Definetly enjoying the art too, and issue #3 was by far best yet in that respect.

WHat about the interesting theory that he has some of Alexander Luthor's power? Plus Didio just mentioned that one of the Monitors is looking after him specifically... hmmm....
