I think it's the other way around. I think that Abin Sur encountered the Indigo Tribe (maybe Indigo-1) and they told him about the Blackest Night prophecy because they had some sort of revelation that Abin Sur would be the one to start things in motion. Thus, his fixation on the prophecy began, and may be why he was trying to keep Atrocitus from Earth (and Hand, and the Entity).

Not sure. I'd have to see it to believe it. Then there's the whole how "trustworthy" is she to know the full history of the Indigo tribe. This would make the Indigio tribe one of the newer groups. If it turns out that Sur made them, then why did he do so? And why did he not join them?

So many questions! Back to the chalkboard!

She says this in the GL issue that is officially needed to be read before BN #5, Doc.

When he asks her how she knows Abin Sur she says "I met him when I was self-centered and self-important like you."

To me that doesn't translate as he founded the Indigo's simply that he saved HER. Maybe his saving her caused the Indigo's to be created, she is called Indigo-1 after all. Maybe he met the Indigo's in his search and led her to them.

Merely speculation at this point, but maybe they call her Indigo-1 because the light of compassion is the strongest in her. They really don't have names she said even though they refer to the other main Indigo as Munk.

It was a brilliant stroke to keep a dark theme throughout, (not just to fit the mood), but to really make the colors of the Corps pop. Then again, the art on GL has been amazing for quite some time now

Well...that's a good theory. However, it can really only apply to the Indigo and Orange Lanterns. We saw that the Guardians hid the Orange Light back in the early days of the Universe, and when Larfleeze found it, they let him keep it on the condition that he never leave that sector of space (and no one would enter it in return). The Star Sapphires were using the Violet Light (the Predator) as the symbol of their Zamaron Queen shortly after they split with the Guardians and left for Zamaron. I fully believe that's what would possess Carol Ferris early in her 'career', and why it seemed to change her personality so greatly, like Hal with Parallax. It was only after they realized the Blackest Night was about to start that they opened up the Star Sapphire Corps.

We saw the Blue, Black, Yellow, and Red Corps form in the pages of Green Lantern. It's really only the Indigo tribe that we don't know anything about. It's likely that they have been around for millenia like the Guardians, but generally stay so far out in the universe that the Guardians more or less ignored their presence.

For the Indigo Tribe, we also have to remember their link to Abin Sur. He could have established them awhile back when everyone else kept ignoring his talk of the prophecy. They seem like a cult in many ways.

I was out club-hopping, beer-swilling, and internet-chick-chasing, or something of the matter when this book came out

I am sure that will get addressed. I truly believe nobody was brought back to life without a reason and the same goes for people that were not brought back.
