'mouse note -

As shown in the GLCQ story, it appears the power ring can kill the "undead." The shadow in the ending panel appeared to imply Ash would be attacked by the girl he saved... I wonder if she was Adara, the Green Lantern that Kyle Rayner met in GL3 # 56? [ED- certainly a possibility, considering both stories were written by the same author.]
