Was Hal Jordan ever Parallax in the New 52 Universe? Did he destroy the GL Corps as Parallax?

Yes

"However, stating specifically that the Batman and Green Lantern families both came through the relaunch relatively unchanged"
"– Mongul destroys Coast City. Hal helps Superman stop Mongul. Hal then goes nuts, killing the Guardians and several GLs before giving in to Parallax.
– Kyle Rayner becomes the last GL. Guy becomes Warrior. John becomes a Darkstar."

Amazing issue of Angel & Faith with # 16! Huge reveal and a big confrontation this issue. This book is so freaking good. I can't wait to read the newest issues of Swamp Thing and Batman next! These three books have me so pumped to be reading comics right now!

Wow, thanks for the link. Insane how much they think can logically be compressed into a 5-year period.

After reading today's issue of Green Lantern: New Guardians, I'm really beginning to question all this. I'm not sure if Jordan ever was Parallax. Because it shows a flashback of Kyle Rayner being led around Planet Oa by Ganthet as a rookie Green Lantern, and everything including the Green Lantern Corps is intact. If Jordan did go Parallax, then all of that should have been destroyed and there shouldn't have been a GL Corps when Kyle was a rookie GL.

BTW, thanks Gamerforlife. The comic shop owner wanted $25 for both of him, and I got em for $20, so I felt even better about it because I haggled him down.

Just got this guy today which goes nicely with the above issue:



The quoted issue is the origin of Jason Todd Robin, and the issue I just posted is the first appearance of Tim Drake as Robin.

I have all of the Red Hood storyline issues. That story really made me like Jason Todd and the animated movie is great too. Not too crazy about his New 52 book though, one of the weaker current Bat titles.

I wasn't aware that Telltale Games is working on a Fables game. That's very interesting

It would be funny if they got one of Wolverine voice actors from any of the X-Men cartoons to voice Bigby. He's always felt like a Wolverine rip off to me.
