Comment(s):

The Green Lantern Corps now numbers 2,800.
The Guardians detail their history, some of which is newly revealed, some that is further expanded on in later publications.
* 10 billion years ago born on the planet Maltus (Green Lantern Vol. 2 #81)
* 5 billion years ago evolved into the present state of immortality
* 4 billion years ago Krona "loosed evil on this universe" (Green Lantern Vol. 2 #40)
* 3.5 billion years ago migrated to Oa and created the Manhunters (Justice League of America #141)
* 3 billion years ago created the Green Lantern Corps and those that would become the Controllers left
* 2.5 billion years ago the Zamarons left
The Guardians prophesize the peoples of Earth will take the next evolutionary step to immortality, with glory awaiting "...within a millenium," which leads to the Millennium event, and following that, Invasion!
The series continues next issue as Green Lantern Corps #201.
