Finally, after several years of crossovers, DC's devulging details of the real story behind Infinite Crisis and 52. Believe it or not, the true reveal appears in a one shot: Sinestro Corps Special. Where Infinite Crisis, 52, and OYL failed SCS pays off in spades.
Spoilers....
If you haven't been following Green Lantern v3, Sinestro formed his own fear inducing Corps of the most malevolent monsters in the New Earth Universe. On New Earth, the current Justice League of America attempt to capture Zoom to learn the whereabouts of Zoom's pal, former Secret Society member Sinestro. See, in sector 2418, the yellow Sinestro ring chose Batman first before settling for Amon Sur, Abin Sur's villainous son. So, Batman proactively gathers the League together to combat a potential threat to New Earth by trying to locate Sinestro through Secret Society members. Unable to apprehend Zoom, Hal Jordan decides to check back with Oa.
In sector 424, Green Lanterns pursue a Sinestro Ring with poor results, until Kyle Rayner as Ion arrives. Even after Ion captures the ring, it breaks free revealing many more Sinestro rings heading to designated sectors. In sector 3, Sinestro member Bedovian is alerted to begin. On Oa, Hank Henshaw, the infamous Cyborg Superman, is grilled by the Guardians on his knowledge of the 52. Multiverse Alert Through the wonders of exposition, the Guardians explain New Earth is a linchpin to the new Multiverse. If New Earth is destroyed, the 52 ends leaving only the antimatter universe. The Source Wall and the Bleed are mentioned. The Guardians decide to incarcerate Cyborg Superman with Superbo..man Prime for all eternity but not before the Guardians discuss a Book of Oa forbidden passage, "The Blackest Night" (originally quoted to Abin Sur by the demons of Ysmault) fortelling the upcoming Sinestro War.
At the Sciencells, the Oa holding prison, Guy Gardner harrasses Superbo..man Prime before trying to set up a meeting with the Guardians. In the Oa mess hall, John Stewart and Hal Jordan walk with Kyle Rayner who captured a Sinestro Ring. It seems Kyle Rayner never got over his mother's death and he appears at the breaking point. Feeding off Kyle's emotional loss, the Yellow Ring breaks free, causes some havoc, and transports Ion to Qward.
On Qward, Kyle discovers dead Weaponers scattered about the planet's surface and stumbles across a Sinestro rally meeting. It seems the Sinestro Corps' modus operandi is to spread order through fear. Kyle Rayner tries to contact Hal Jordan but instead finds Sinestro has been waiting for him. Back on Oa, Green Lanterns determine Ion was sent to the antimatter universe, when suddenly a contingent from the Sinestro Corps ambush. Back on Qward, Kyle Rayner strives valiantly against all odds until Sinestro blasts him in the back knocking Ion out cold. Back on Oa, John Stewart kills the sniper Bedovian as Green Lanterns turn the battle in their favour. Until of course, they discover the intitial attack was a diversion signaled by all the Green Lantern rings seaching for new members. At the Sciencells, Stewart, Gardner, and Jordan discover the inmates were freed with a Sinestro Corps symbol blazing prominently in the background.
On Qward, Sinestro continues to mentally wear down Kyle Rayner. Just call Sinestro Senor Exposition, he explains the Parallax creature (again) then the true nature of Ion by ripping the Ion creature from Kyle's chest! The Guardians created Ion as a creature of order in need of a host similar to Parallax- a creature embodying fear. Sinestro continues to needle Kyle about Alex DeWitt's demise as well as his mother's recent illness and death. Then, Sinestro reveals the cause behind Kyle's mother's death- Despotellus a virus Sinestro Corps member. Enraged, Kyle screams he's going to kill Sinestro. However, Sinestro retorts the Guardians will never allow Kyle to kill, nor do the Guardians understand love or loss. Finally succumbing to Sinestro, Kyle gives up and is leviated to the yellow power battery where he's possessed by Parallax.
Meanwhile overlooking New Earth, two Guardians, the female Sayd and male Ganthet, discuss the impending doom realizing with the rebirth of multiverse returns... On Qward, Parallax and Sinestro walk down a long passageway discussing the gathering of the four heralds finally bowing before, in the foreground Superbo..man Prime, in the distance an almost repaired Cyborg Superman, and a gigantic very much alive Anti-Monitor.
The War continues in Green Lantern v3, Green Latern Corps, and most likely Countdown.
