I took a gamble on this issue because it features the first appearance of a few emotional spectrum characters including: Atrocitus and Saint Walker. As there popularity grows this issue will appreciate.
The being known as Atrocitus (real name Atros) was born on planet Ryut, and was a survivor of the infamous Massacre of Sector 666, during which the Manhunters wiped out the life in an entire space sector (including his wife and his daughter) except for five lifeforms. These five became the terrorists known as the Five Inversions, led by Atrocitus, and sought revenge against the Guardians of the Universe and gained powers through dark magics. Over time, the demons would build themselves a strong following of worshipers and become known as the Empire of Tears. When the Guardians decided to rid the universe of magic to make way for order, the Empire crumbled and the Five Inversions were imprisoned and crucified on the planet Ysmault to serve out a long sentence for the crimes they had committed. However, the demons were still far from powerless. Through rituals and sacrifices, they discovered a black power so dark it was beyond the power of the Guardians' light.
Bro'Dee Walker was a strong, faithful believer in his planet's version of an all-powerful deity. He had a father as well as a wife and children. His life on Astonia succumbed to turmoil due to the sun dying and the planet along with it. He had a plan to find God's "Messiah" at the top of Mount Helious. Saint Walker left with his family to reach the top of Mount Helious. It was a hard and scorching trip and while on the journey each member of his family perished due to various causes. After nine days of pain and dehydration, Saint Walker finally reached the top to find no one there - only a slab of stone. He screamed at God, close to losing all hope. At that moment, a storm broke out and the water sliding off the monolith gave off his reflection. Realizing this meant he was to be the one to save his people, Walker descended from Mount Helious and started preaching to the Astonians, eventually calming them and leading them with his hope for a future for Astonia. After he made it, the sun spontaneously grew younger and a Blue Power Ring found him. It chose Saint Walker as the first of the Blue Lantern Corps member, given his ability to instil great hope in others. Synopsis courtesy of comicvine.com!
Whatever you do, don't mess with Atrocitus' cat!
