The Fall of the Guardians
Sinestro executes the Guardians of the Universe.

The story
The Guardians of the Universe had ruled for billions of years — immortal, emotionless, and increasingly afraid. After the Third Army disaster, their authority was shattered. But their end came not from rebellion, but from vengeance.
When Volthoom the First Lantern destroyed Korugar, Sinestro lost his homeworld. He blamed the Guardians — and he was right. Their schemes had freed Volthoom. In the aftermath of the Wrath of the First Lantern (2013), Sinestro confronted the Guardians on Oa and executed them, one by one.
He spared only Ganthet and Sayd, exiling them from Oa. The ancient order was dead. In their place rose the Templar Guardians — warriors who had guarded Volthoom's prison for millennia — to lead a Corps that no longer trusted its masters.
