Word Of God / With This Ring

Several times, Zoat reveals tidbits of what's to come in With This Ring long before it happens.

---

• He has posted lists of:
  • Current/Future Team members: first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh.
  • Current/Future Justice League members: first, second.
  • Current/Future Light members: first.
• Apparently, by Year Five, the SI gets Sam Scudder promoted to the leader of the Rogues.
• OL accidentally alters the Reach's approach to Earth.
• OL goes into space by Year Two and gets into a misunderstanding with a twelve legged spider female.
  • This occurred in Episode 54: Vega, Baby.
• Mr Zoat hints that Renegade!OL will end up marrying a ruthless woman and asks readers to guess who it is. Several end up correctly guessing Blackfire.
  • By the end of 2011 in-story, they're officially dating.
  • The Renegade assumes they will have a political marriage and is surprised that she genuinely loves him.
• Razer will appear in Year Four, with neither a blue nor red ring.
  • It's later confirmed that Ilana will also make an appearance.
  • Both of them appear in Episode 135: Butcher's Blood.
• The Five Inversions escape in Year Five.
• Batman and Paul will have some sort of falling out.
  • He follows this up with a list showing the disposition of the members of the Bat family towards OL after five years.

  • Batman and Paul's relationship will be exacerbated because of the Rimbor trial.

  • Mr Zoat has two Violet Lanterns planned, one of which is Dame Carol Ferris of Earth -14.

A few weeks later, she turns up on Earth 16 with a new trainee Lantern.
• Something happens in Year Five which makes the Light decide that having OL around is a good thing in case things go awry.
• OL is offworld when the Reach go public. His first words to the Ambassador when he returns are "Hello, target practice".
  • This is followed up by the fact that by this point, the Reach would have been at war for two years against NEMO (Network for the Establishment and Maintenance of Order), the umbrella organisation for the three arms of Controller military operation. This means that OL has a database full of data on Reach activities.
  • The Renegade, on the other hand, will politely offer the Ambassador coffee. He, of course, ends up assimilating them in the end.
• Mr Zoat says the Reach will send a reconnaissance fleet to Maltus that will flee after scanning a moon. A poster later successfully guessed it was because the moon was actually Erdammeru, the Void Hound, a warship crewed by an insane AI, and the Maltusians didn't even bother to make use of it because they don't need it.
• Paul is going to recruit Ranx and Mother of Mercy.
  • This happens in Episode 62: Collegiality and Episode 60: Respite respectively.
