Wizard: The Comics Magazine #155
In "The Day Before," Geoff Johns and Ethan Van Sciver deliver a striking dual narrative: Kyle Rayner, adrift in the cosmos, encounters the ancient and terrifying Parallax, while Hal Jordan—briefly freed from the Spectre’s burden—reverts to his Ghostly Guardian form to rescue a pilot in a failing aircraft. A 2004 standout from Wizard: The Comics Magazine, this issue blends cosmic dread with grounded heroism, all rendered with Van Sciver’s dynamic art and Moose Baumann’s vivid colors.
