Vol 15 Rings Reforged

Fear has a color. It’s the gruesome glow of yellow, wielded by the totalitarian tyrant Sinestro and his Yellow Lanterns. And now the entire universe is bathed in its sinister light. The Sinestro Corps have replaced the Green Lanterns as the peacekeepers of the galaxy. Oa, the homeworld of the Guardians and their Green Lantern Corps, is no more. In its place at the center of the universe orbits Warworld, Sinestro’s home base. The Green Lanterns have vanished, leaving no one to oppose the Sinestro Corps’ reign of terror. No one, that is, except the last Lantern: Hal Jordan. Convicted of crimes he didn’t commit, reduced to a being of pure thought and will, Hal must now battle back from the brink to reform the Corps and free all of creation from his archenemy’s iron fist.

There are two new members of the galaxy’s greatest peacekeeping force; One is all impulse. The other, all anxiety. Together, they put the “green” in Green Lantern. Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz are the latest recruits to the Green Lantern Corps. They’ve proven themselves capable of overcoming great fear alongside the Corps and the Justice League alike. Now Hal Jordan himself has assigned them the task of protecting the planet. But they’re still new to the job, with very little experience and a whole lot to prove. That makes them the perfect targets. One of the Green Lanterns’ greatest enemies has returned, and he has the Earth in his sights. He is Atrocitus, the tyrannical leader of the Red Lanterns, and he means to infect the entire planet with his murderous red rage. Can Jessica and Simon overcome their differences and wield the Green Lantern’s light like true partners? Or will these rookies’ rage help the Red Lanterns extinguish that light for good?

Vol 16 The Fracturing

It’s a new era for the Green Lantern and Sinestro Corps. Based on the living planet Mogo under the leadership of John Stewart, the Corps are about to take on their toughest assignment ever—partnering with their bitter enemies in the Sinestro Corps and their new leader Soranik Natu! But not all of the Sinestro Corps members are ready to sign on. So the new Green-Yellow partnership has their first mission: track down the rogue Sinestro Corps members and bring them in…either to join the Green Lanterns or rot in a cell.

Against all odds, this unlikely partnership seems to be working. Even Lanterns who recently wanted to murder each other with their bare hands—like Guy Gardner and Arkillo—are now working side by side. But the fragile alliance is sitting atop a powder keg…and all it will take is one spark to ignite it. When it comes to light that a Green Lantern has murdered a member of the Sinestro Corps in cold blood, will the fragile alliance hold? Or will the Sinestro Corps return to the ways of their former leader…and destroy the Green Lanterns in their wake?

Jessica Cruz and Simon Baz both earned their power rings, but are they ready to face the deadly legacy that accompanies them? The very first Lantern—the mad Volthoom—has returned, and his plan to regain the powers he lost billions of years ago leads straight to Earth’s emerald warriors! Stranded ten billion years in the past–and with only one power ring between them–Jessica and Simon have no idea how to get back to the 21st century. And when a group of alien Green Lanterns land in their midst, will our heroes be able to teach these newly empowered ancient Lanterns how to become a true Corps?

Vol 17 Darkstars Rising

Jessica Cruz’s ring has a mind of its own, and it’s lashing out at her! Jess needs to find a way to defend herself against a ring that is making constructs against her will, as she’s been pulled into a nightmare world created from her own memories. As Simon Baz and the Justice League try to find her, they turn to an unlikely ally for help: John Constantine! When Green Lanterns Hal Jordan and Kyle Rayner arrive on a primitive planet to investigate reports of alien interference with the local population, they’re shocked to discover that Superman’s Kryptonian foe General Zod and his family have taken over the planet, not as conquerors, but as gods who are being eagerly worshipped! Will a rogue rescue mission led by Guy Gardner, Kilowog and other rebellious Lanterns be successful? Or are they actually playing into master strategist Zod’s larger plans? Beginning with a disgraced Green Lantern who is recruited right before Hal Jordan’s disbelieving eyes, the Darkstars quickly form an army of armored law enforcers who face every villain with lethal, unrelenting force … an army whose numbers and power dwarf that of all the Lanterns combined!
