Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #5

In "Mind Games Part One: Rude Awakening," Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps launch a daring assault on the Controllers to free the imprisoned Guardians, only to find themselves outmatched—until the freed Guardians join the fight. With the surviving six Guardians of the Universe (Ganthet, Sayd, Rami, Paalko, Zalla, and Kada Sal) ready to reclaim their role in guiding the Corps, the battle shifts, but the Controllers escape with a new threat in mind: a fresh army of Darkstars. Written by Robert Venditti and illustrated by Jack Herbert, José Luís, and a team of inkers including Mick Gray and Cam Smith, with colors by Jason Wright and letters by Dave Sharpe, the issue’s dynamic art and escalating tension are perfectly captured in Ethan Van Sciver’s striking cover.
