Main difference was that Sheeda were exclusively Earth threat and "lived" one billion years (or something like that) in the future. While these guys are supposedly ancient and operating on much bigger scale. Thou you probably could easily connect one to another with Sheeda, after Seven Soldiers, travelling back to the birth of universe and becoming older than Guardians.
When two elements in a Morrison story (or anyone's story, for that matter) seem closely aligned, they may be related, or he may be riffing on a theme.
For example, Hector Hammond tells Hal that "they" have a plan to trap Hal, and "they" invited Hector to participate.
This is similar to the role that the Joker played in Batman, R.I.P.
Similar dynamic, but this certainly isn't a Black Glove story.
It's a trope, and a classic. When Killer Croc debuted? He invited "All My Enemies Against Me" to witness his ultimate victory. When Ra's al Ghul returned, he broke out all of Gotham's villains from prison, during "Resurrection Night". When Bane debuted, he broke out all of Arkham Asylum creating a boss-gauntlet. People are always forming Superman Revenge Squads (although in Morrison's Action, at least, it was a Revenge Squad made of all new villains.)
Retro315 no more. Anonymity is so 2005.

Just read the most recent interview with Liam Sharp. He refers to Morrison only as a he. I guess I am good company in forgetting or Morrison doesn't have a preference.
Has Morrison discussed this at all?
By the way, I think Morrison is the only writer who has hinted at Hal's pansexual nature. I wonder if the final issue will comment any more on that one.
Hal hooking up with anything anywhere as long as it looks good in lipstick has been an undercurrent of Hal Jordan for a long time. I think only Morrison could have pulled off dancing that close to the line without giving the more traditionalist fans a fit of fanboy rage
Here are my thoughts on the run after TGL Season Two #11… It was a great issue and the sense of impending climax is palpable. This feels like the excitement of the last two issues of Batman, R.I.P. are upon us again. The issue opened up so many connections to the whole run, I gave it one more read, and found some things that had slipped past me before, like what is the significance of Magenta, Yellow, Azure, and Black judges back in issue #4 and who or what is… Lah? My answers here:

I wish they had kept the colorist from Season One,
not to downplay Liam Sharp in anyway, but the new coloring without inking really miss out on a lot of details on Sharp's penciling.
Interesting read and good catch on the four colours. It is just another evidence that Morrison, to say the least, is not happy about comics. Thou I wonder about digs at Snyder. Does Morrison dislike his work in particular or is it just an unlucky coincidence due to him doing big event storylines in last few years?
