☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 2005 collection from DC Comics marks the definitive return of Hal Jordan to the role of Green Lantern. Written by Geoff Johns, the story follows the Spectre-host Hal Jordan as he confronts the fear entity Parallax, which had corrupted him, and reclaims his place as a member of the Green Lantern Corps. It serves as a pivotal relaunch that redefined the Green Lantern mythos for the modern era.
In "The Day Before," Geoff Johns and Ethan Van Sciver deliver a pivotal moment in Green Lantern history as Hal Jordan’s return begins with a soul-deep journey through the afterlife. With Parallax’s influence spreading and Earth’s mightiest heroes caught in the crossfire, Hal’s spirit follows a faint light trail back to his body at the Watchtower—where his ring, severed from his hand, finally finds its way back to him. The cover by Ethan Van Sciver captures the intensity of the moment, perfectly framing the rebirth of a legend.
In "The Day Before," Kyle finds himself face-to-face with the ancient, legendary Parallax while traversing the void of space, his resolve tested by the weight of history. Meanwhile, Hal—still adjusting to life beyond the Spectre—steps back into his role as the Ghostly Guardian to rescue a pilot in a failing aircraft, caught between duty and the quiet moments he’s begun to cherish.
In the wake of Green Lantern: Rebirth, "Blackest Night" unfolds as a haunting, interconnected web of moments across the DC Universe. Kyle's crash-landing on Earth with a mysterious casket sets an ominous tone, while Hal, Guy, and John's unexpected baseball game reveals the lingering ripple effects of the Green Lantern Corps' return. As strange phenomena unfold—from a rebuilt Coast City to a resurrected Ferris Aircraft—each character grapples with echoes of the past, all tied to a force that refuses to stay buried.
In "Enemies Within," Hal Jordan and Carol Ferris share a quiet moment before chaos erupts: the Justice League arrives to confront Hal over Coast City, while Guy Gardner, struggling with his Vuldarian heritage, lies unconscious in the Watchtower. When John Stewart turns on the League, Guy awakens, takes up a new Green Lantern ring, and unleashes his fury—only to be met by Kilowog’s aggression toward Kyle Rayner, who guards a mysterious casket. Inside lies Ganthet, shielding Hal Jordan’s body, as the team’s unity fractures in the face of an unknown threat.
In "Yellow," Kyle Rayner races against time to the Watchtower, where he confronts Green Arrow with a chilling revelation: the truth behind Parallax’s hold on Hal Jordan. As tensions explode and the JLA fractures, Kyle’s resolve is tested when Sinestro strikes—and Parallax’s grip deepens, claiming both Hal Jordan and the Spectre.
In "Force of Will," Hal Jordan’s spirit battles Parallax within the Spectre’s realm, guided by a fading light from Ganthet. As Earth’s heroes clash in a desperate fight against Sinestro and the corrupted minds of Guy Gardner, John Stewart, and Kilwog, Hal’s soul traces a path back to his body at the Watchtower—where his ring, reclaimed by Green Arrow, reunites with him. The moment Hal Jordan rises from the coffin, Green Lantern is reborn.
In "Rings," Hal Jordan returns to full power, confronting Sinestro in a clash of wills and willpower, finally meeting Kyle Rayner face-to-face as the Green Lantern Corps begins to reunite around him—only to be halted in their mission to save Ganthet by the unexpected arrival of the Justice League.
In "Brightest Day," Hal Jordan leads the Green Lantern Corps in a desperate bid to reclaim Oa’s power battery, confronting the corrupting presence of Parallax as he and his fellow Lanterns work to restore balance to the Guardians’ ancient stronghold. With the Justice League watching, Hal makes a bold stand—determined to protect the Corps’ sacred duty, even as the very source of their power threatens to consume them all.
