Legendary cosmic guardian and former Green Lantern Hal Jordan has unknowingly left a horrific legacy to the future. When Hal vowed to respect all life, he probably wasn't thinking of the nasty, acid-dripping, murdering Aliens - and because he spared these vile creatures, he doomed the lives of countless others years later.

When the Earth goes up for sale on the alien black market, itÕs up to the Green Lantern Corps to bust up ÒThe Slave Lords of the StarsÓ in the latest space saga from Grant Morrison (MULTIVERSITY) and Liam Sharp (WONDER WOMAN)! With the Justice League frozen by Gamma Gong tech, Earth ends up on the auction block, and Volgar Zo hosts a menagerie of the universeÕs deadliest despots and criminals: Steppenwolf, Queen Bee, the Dominators and much, much worse. Hal Jordan leads a squad of Lanterns into the frayÑand someoneÕs going to pay the ultimate price before this case gets closed.

Hal Jordan is plunked into the Land of Odd, without knowing where he came from, where he's going, or even who he is. Now, in this surreal land of angels and demons, monsters and fairies, Hal must find the mysterious entity who may hold the key to why he is in the Land of Odd.

Boys 3-7 will feel like they are part of the cosmic action as Batman, Superman, and the Green Lantern take on an unstoppable monster from outer space that's wreaking havoc in Metropolis! But not everything is as it seems with this alien, and only Green Lantern has the power to save the Earth.

In Film and Comic Books contributors analyze the problems of adapting one medium to another; the translation of comics aesthetics into film; audience expectations, reception, and reaction to comic book-based films; and the adaptation of films into comics. A wide range of comic/film adaptations are explored, including superheroes (Spider-Man), comic strips (Dick Tracy), realist and autobiographical comics (American Splendor, Ghost World), and photo-montage comics (Mexico's El Santo). Essayists discuss films beginning with the 1978 Superman. That success led filmmakers to adapt a multitude of comic books for the screen including Marvel's Uncanny X-Men, the Amazing Spider-Man, Blade, and the Incredible Hulk as well as alternative graphic novels such as From Hell, V for Vendetta, and Road to Perdition. Essayists also discuss recent works from Mexico, France, Germany, and Malaysia. Essays from Timothy P.
