Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #17
In "Quest for Hope Part 4: The Blue and the Green," Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps face a pivotal moment as the captured Yellow Lanterns are contained and the team begins to rebuild. With John Stewart planning their next steps, Guy Gardner and Arkillo recover from their wounds, and Hal shares a rare moment of mutual respect with Kyle Rayner—only for the mission to take a sudden turn when Ganthet and Sayd ask Kyle to join forces with Saint Walker to revive the Blue Lantern Corps. The attempt is met with resistance from an unseen force, triggering a surge of power that fractures the seven rings of the spectrum. One ring, the Green, chooses Kyle as its new bearer—marking a profound shift in his destiny. Written by Robert Venditti and illustrated by Ethan Van Sciver, with colors by Jason Wright and letters by Dave Sharpe, the cover by Ethan Van Sciver captures the intensity of this defining moment.
