Green Lantern v.3 #160, Early May 2003

"Offspring"

Writer: Judd Winick
Penciller: Dale Eaglesham
Inker: Rodney Ramos
Editor: Bob Schreck

Firsts: Lianna, one of the children of the Zamarons and Guardians, debuts.

Notes: This story rather unclearly established Lianna and her siblings as the newly restored Guardians themselves (given life in Green Lantern Legacy, 2002). In her next appearance, Omega Men v.2 #1, it is made clear that she is the offspring of a Guardian, not a Guardian herself.

Adam Strange #4, February 2005

"Planet Heist, Part 4 "

Writer: Andy Diggle
Art: Pascal Ferry
Editor: Eddie Berganza

Firsts: Five new Omega Men debut: Chantale, Cecilia, Dark Flea, Seer & Vandal.

Notes: Though all five new Omegans are depicted, only the Seer is clearly identified. I received personal verification from Andy Diggle (via Pascal Ferry's notes) as to the identity of the others. There was also a sixth, Bubble Boy, who was changed to Elu. See their character profiles for details.
Doc is killed by a Durlan.
The advance artwork for this issue depicted a different line-up of Omega Men, including the long-dead Primus! Compare the covers.
