Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #1
This volume kicks off the post-Rebirth era for the Emerald Knight, collecting the first six issues of the 2016 series.

The story follows the remaining Lanterns as they struggle to regroup and challenge Sinestro's law, while Hal's fate remains a central mystery.
