Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #5
This volume concludes the 'Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps' series, collecting issues #41–50. The story arc, 'Twilight of the Guardians,' sees the Green Lanterns facing their greatest challenge as the ancient Guardians of the Universe make a desperate final stand against the cosmic threat of the Controllers. Writer Robert Venditti and artist Rafa Sandoval deliver an action-packed finale that reshapes the future of the Corps and its members, including Hal Jordan, John Stewart, and Guy Gardner.
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.
In "Mind Games Part One: Rude Awakening," Hal Jordan is sent to Earth to meet Superman, who’s just captured the entity Parallax and imprisoned it in Sinestro’s yellow ring. When Superman hands the ring to Hal, the Green Lantern realizes too late that Parallax has broken free—and is now inside Superman.
In "Mind Games Conclusion: Metamorphose," Hal Jordan and Superman race to stop the Kroloteans from seizing Hector Hammond, whose mind powers become a weapon when activated. Trapped in a terrifying illusion, Hal is confronted with a flawless version of his life—one he might never want to leave.
In "Twilight of the Guardians Part One: Smash and Grab," young Green Lantern Somar-Le trains under the watchful eyes of Ganthet and Sayd when their sanctuary is breached and they’re taken hostage. With the Guardians captured, Somar-Le must race to alert John Stewart, setting off a desperate mission to rescue them before it’s too late.
In "Twilight of the Guardians Part Three: The Four Corpsmen," John, Hal, Kyle, and Guy launch a desperate mission into the heart of the Controllers' stronghold, racing against time to save the last of the Guardians before they're fully converted. With the fate of the Green Lantern Corps hanging in the balance, the four heroes face overwhelming odds in a battle that tests their courage and unity.
In "Twilight of the Guardians Conclusion: What We Leave Behind," Hal Jordan, John Stewart, Guy Gardner, and Kyle Rayner push into the heart of the Controllers’ stronghold, only to be overwhelmed—until the freed Guardians of the Universe, Ganthet, Sayd, Rami, Paalko, Zalla, and Kada Sal, join forces with the Lanterns in a desperate bid to turn the tide. With the Controllers fleeing to forge a new Darkstar army, the surviving Guardians choose to step back into active leadership, reshaping the future of the Corps.
