Green Lantern Corps #1

In the dead silence of Ysmault, Abin Sur hunts a ruined ship in forbidden space, drawn into a nightmarish realm known as the Empire of Tears. There, the demon Qull of the Five Inversions offers cryptic answers to Abin’s three questions—each one a thread unraveling fate, with consequences that stretch far beyond the moment.

In "Simple Minds!", Guy Gardner returns to Earth’s Green Lanterns, reigniting tension when he demands leadership—only to face expulsion by Guardian Appa Ali Apsa for deserting his post. Hal Jordan steps in to plead for mercy, and after a heated standoff, it’s decided Guy will stay with the team, though the rift between them remains.

In "See Red!", Kilowog finds himself locked in a brutal fight with Guy Gardner in the heart of Russia, but when he uncovers a deadly plot by the Rocket Reds to eliminate John and Katma, he shifts gears and turns against his former allies. As the stakes rise, the rest of the Green Lantern Corps race to intercept incoming missiles aimed at the United States.

In "Pink Elephants," Guy Gardner’s wild night of drinking throws the Green Lantern Corps into chaos, exposing buried feelings when Kari Limbo realizes Guy no longer loves her. As Hal Jordan and Arisia share a quiet moment, John Stewart makes a bold move proposing to Katma Tui, while nightmares from Salakk’s drunken past erupt—forcing the Corps to confront their deepest fears. The fallout leads to Hal Jordan kicking Guy off the team, setting him on a new path toward the reformed Justice League.

In "Fun Couples!", John Stewart and Katma Tui tie the knot in Detroit on Super Bowl Sunday, marking a joyful moment for the Green Lantern Corps. After the newlyweds depart on their honeymoon, the team disperses to handle personal matters—just as Star Sapphire and Hector Hammond launch a deadly ambush on Hal Jordan, draining his ring’s power to leave him vulnerable in the void of space.

In "...I Am!", a newly sentient alien named B'rk struggles to prove his worth when he and his kind clash with the Green Lantern Corps, forcing a tense negotiation over a single planet. As the Solarites weigh their fate, Jo and Salakk find themselves caught in shifting loyalties, while Ch'p returns to H'lven and Iona remains behind—leaving the future uncertain.

In "Worship," a Green Lantern long revered as a divine savior by his people is summoned by his fellow Guardians to defend his homeworld—only to have his myth shattered when the truth of his divinity is finally revealed.

In "A Sense of Obligation," a Green Lantern's final act of heroism during a brutal attack leaves her gravely wounded and pregnant. As her life fades, her power ring, bound by duty, guides her through childbirth and then turns its focus to finding a new bearer—someone unexpected, a Coltan Raider who has lost everything in the very act of violence the ring once stopped.

Jo, a lone drifter, stumbles upon the corpse of a fallen Green Lantern and takes the ring, hoping to rewrite his fate. But as he uses its power to improve his life, things spiral out of control—until, frustrated and broken, he hurls the ring back at the dead hero in a moment of raw defiance.
