Last week, DC Comics gave provided us with a first look at Lights Out – this October’s epic crossover event that will change the Green Lantern universe forever.

Green Lantern Corps writer Van Jensen spoke a bit about the villainous mastermind behind it all, Relic:

It’s not that he is just a bad person who wants to kill and destroy. He has a true purpose that he’s working for, and that purpose just happens to put him at odds with the Green Lanterns.

As for the impact of “Lights Out”? It’s a crossover that’s “a completely redefining story.” It totally changes the paradigm of what the Green Lanterns are all about.

Check out some of Bernard Chang’s interior art for Green Lantern Corps #24, the second chapter of Lights Out, which lands in stores on October 9.
