an effort to be near him, as they knew Kilowog's race enjoyed being in crowds. Shortly after this adventure, the Corps was finally and completely destroyed when they voted as a body to execute the captured Sinestro for crimes against the universe; this set in motion a chain of events that led to the dissolution of almost all power rings. Around this time, Kilowog is allowed to be one of the honor guard at Superman's funeral. Emerald Twilight When the Corps began to expand again, Kilowog returned to Oa to train the new generation of Green Lanterns. During the Emerald Twilight arc, numerous Green Lanterns were sent to stop the supposedly insane Hal Jordan. The very last Green Lantern to oppose Jordan was Kilowog himself, on Oa.

Soon after this, though, his spirit was recalled to life by Kyle Rayner and Ganthet. The New Corps After the reformation of the Corps, Kilowog retakes the role of Green Lantern drill sergeant, training new
