Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #7

In the wake of escalating cosmic tensions, Hal Jordan confronts the lingering echoes of past choices when he visits Tomar-Tu in his Sciencell. As Tomar stands by his belief that ruthless justice is necessary, the ancient, judgmental presence of the Darkstar One mantle awakens—drawn to the Green Lantern’s unwavering conviction.

In the wake of the Darkstars' brutal crusade across the cosmos, Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps race to intervene—but they’re outmatched, outnumbered, and face a chilling directive from Tomar-Tu: stand aside. As the Corps grapples with the moral weight of the Darkstars’ lethal mission, the line between justice and vengeance begins to blur.

In "Darkstars Rising Part Two: New Recruits," Hal Jordan’s mission to rally allies against the Darkstars takes sharp turns across the cosmos—on Earth, he frees Hector Hammond, only to face the Atomic Skull; on Jekuul, John Stewart gambles everything to persuade General Zod; and on Heep, Guy Gardner’s plea to Arkillo for Yellow Lantern aid is cut short by a sudden Darkstar assault.

In "Darkstars Rising Part Three: Death Sentence," Guy Gardner’s quest for vengeance takes a dark turn as he embraces the mantle of a Darkstar, driven by painful memories of his father’s abuse. Meanwhile, Hal Jordan grapples with the weight of heroism under Hector Hammond’s guidance, John Stewart teams with General Zod to counter the growing threat, and Kyle Rayner finds himself trapped on New Genesis after seeking help from Orion.

In "Darkstars Rising Part Four: Corps Values," Hal Jordan’s identity is stripped bare when Hector Hammond erases his memories of being a Green Lantern, while on Earth, Guy Gardner—now a Darkstar—faces a desperate choice as Arkillo tries to stop him from killing his father. Meanwhile, on New Genesis, Orion aids Kyle Rayner and Space Cabbie in their escape from captivity, and on Mogo, Kilowog rallies the Green Lantern Corps for an impending assault by the Darkstars.

In "Last Charge Part One: Divided and Conquered," Kilowog commands the Green Lantern Corps on the living planet Mogo as they fend off the relentless assault of the Darkstars, while Hal Jordan, John Stewart, Kyle Rayner, Guy Gardner, and their unlikely allies Zod, Orion, Arkillo, and Hector Hammond launch a desperate counterstrike in the void of space. The story pits brotherhood against betrayal, with the Corps split between defense and defiance in a battle that tests their unity like never before.

In "Last Charge Part Two Disrupted," Hal Jordan and Hector Hammond slip behind enemy lines to sever the Darkstars' telepathic link to the Controllers, risking everything to turn the tide. With the Corps locked in battle across Mogo and space, Hal’s gamble could break the Darkstars’ cohesion—but victory won’t come without a brutal confrontation.

In the explosive finale of "Last Charge," Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps face their ultimate test as they battle the relentless Darkstars, joined by unlikely allies Arkillo, Zod, Orion, and Hector Hammond. With tensions flaring and loyalties tested, Hal confronts Tomar-Tu in a personal clash that could redefine everything.
