It includes the introduction of major characters like John Stewart and the debut of the Black Hand, continuing the cosmic and Earthbound tales that defined the era. This 2025 edition gathers material from Green Lantern (vol. 2) #46-75 and related stories, offering a comprehensive look at the series' evolution under writers like John Broome and artists like Gil Kane.
In "Threat of the Tattooed Man!", Hal Jordan faces his most personal challenge yet as he’s sent to convince Katma Tui to stay in the Green Lantern Corps after she announces her resignation. With the fate of her loyalty hanging in the balance, Hal uses a clever ruse to test whether her commitment to the Corps outweighs her feelings for Imi Kann. Written by John Broome and illustrated with dynamic precision by Gil Kane, with inks by Sid Greene and lettering by Gaspar Saladino, this 2018 issue captures the emotional stakes of duty and identity. The cover, by Evan "Doc" Shaner, perfectly frames the tension of the moment.
In "The Strange World Named Green Lantern!", Green Lantern faces a planet that’s less a world and more a living, talking entity—ravenous and restless, it seems to attack him, not out of malice, but desperate need. When he discovers a fireball pulsing with its own sentience, he makes a bold move: relocating it into orbit, hoping to ease the planet’s hunger and its deeper isolation.
In "Star Sapphire Unmasks Green Lantern!", Carol Ferris returns as Star Sapphire for a high-stakes duel of willpower and will, challenging Hal Jordan to prove who truly holds the upper hand. As their battle unfolds, the line between hero and villain blurs—until a surprising twist leaves Hal unmasked and Carol suddenly remembering nothing at all.
Inside the Green Lantern ring, Myrwhydden—once bound by the power of the ring—has reclaimed his magic after Abin Sur’s death. When Hal Jordan enters the ring to confront him, he must navigate a shifting, surreal realm where the line between power and imprisonment blurs.
When Black Hand captures a Green Lantern's power ring and traps it in a device designed to imprison the hero in another dimension, the remaining energy becomes a fragile lifeline. With the ring's power in flux and the hero's fate hanging in the balance, one question remains: can a single fragment of willpower be enough to fight back?
In "Once a Green Lantern — Always a Green Lantern!", Hal Jordan faces a personal challenge when he's tasked with convincing Katma Tui to stay in the Green Lantern Corps after she announces her resignation. Using a carefully crafted ruse, he tests her resolve, revealing that her dedication to the Corps may run deeper than even she realizes.
In "Power Battery Peril!", Green Lantern is pulled into his own power battery and finds himself stranded on the distant planet Thronn, where he must confront a tyrant holding captive the planet’s heroic defenders. With no power ring to rely on and the fate of Thronn’s heroes hanging in the balance, he must use wit and courage to turn the tide.
In "Wizard of the Light-Wave Weapons!", Green Lantern faces off against the cunning Dr. Light, who wields radiant energy weapons in a bid to dismantle the Justice League one hero at a time. With sharp wit and unshakable resolve, the Green Lantern stands firm against a foe who sees power in isolation—and finds that unity is the true defense.
In a quiet hospital room, Barks Ownley overhears Tom Kalmaku murmuring about Green Lantern’s power battery in his sleep—and sees a chance to steal it. With a clever plan and a bit of luck, Green Lantern turns the tables, using Tom’s warning to outwit the thief in a tense game of deception.
