Writer Robert Venditti (THE FLASH) is joined by iconic Green Lantern artist Ethan Van Sciver (GREEN LANTERN: REBIRTH, THE FLASH: REBIRTH) and artist Rafa Sandoval (CATWOMAN) to continue the rebirth of Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps! ItÍs a new era for the Green Lantern Corps. Based on the living planet Mogo under the leadership of John Stewart, the Corps are about to take on their toughest assignment ever„partnering with their bitter enemies in the Sinestro Corps, combining the powers of Will and Fear as a new force for good. But not all of the Sinestro Corps members are ready to sign on. So the new Green-Yellow partnership has their first mission: track down the rogue Sinestro Corps members and bring them in...either to join the Green Lanterns or rot in a cell. Hal Jordan has a different mission, however. Together with former Green Lantern and current White Lantern Kyle Rayner, Jordan has been tasked by the Guardians of the Universe to find and rescue Saint Walker„the final Blue Lantern and keeper of the Light of Hope. But will Hal, Kyle and Walker be able to bring Hope back to the universe...or will their mission only empower a threat that waits in the shadows? Find out in HAL JORDAN AND THE GREEN LANTERN CORPS VOL. 3: QUEST FOR HOPE. Collects HAL JORDAN AND THE GREEN LANTERN CORPS #14-21.

Fear has a color. It’s the gruesome glow of yellow, wielded by the totalitarian tyrant Sinestro and his Yellow Lanterns. And now the entire universe is bathed in its sinister light. The Sinestro Corps have replaced the Green Lanterns as the peacekeepers of the galaxy. Oa, the homeworld of the Guardians and their Green Lantern Corps, is no more. In its place at the center of the universe orbits Warworld, Sinestro’s home base. The Green Lanterns have vanished, leaving no one to oppose the Sinestro Corps’ reign of terror. No one, that is, except the last Lantern: Hal Jordan. Convicted of crimes he didn’t commit, reduced to a being of pure thought and will, Hal must now battle back from the brink to reform the Corps and free all of creation from his archenemy’s iron fist. Sinestro’s word is law…but Hal Jordan is the lawbreaker! Collects issues #1-7 and the HAL JORDAN AND THE GREEN LANTERN CORPS: REBIRTH one-shot special.

New leader of the Sinestro Corps, Soranik Natu, daughter of Sinestro, has seen to it that her brethren set aside their murderous ways for a new mission: to police the universe alongside the Green Lanterns! Against all odds, this unlikely partnership seems to be working. Even Lanterns who recently wanted to murder each other with their bare hands—like Guy Gardner and Arkillo—are now working side by side. But the fragile alliance is sitting atop a powder keg...and all it will take is one spark to ignite it. When it comes to light that a Green Lantern has murdered a member of the Sinestro Corps in cold blood, will the fragile alliance hold? Or will the Sinestro Corps return to the ways of their former leader...and destroy the Green Lanterns in their wake? The DC Rebirth story of the Green Lantern Corps continues with Green Lantern artist Ethan Van Sciver returning to the Corps, along with creators Robert Venditti and Rafa Sandoval, for an explosive story that will leave heroes changed forever in HAL JORDAN AND THE GREEN LANTERN CORPS VOL. 4: FRACTURE. Colletcts HAL JORDAN AND THE GREEN LANTERN CORPS #22-29.

Perhaps the most famous of all the Green Lanterns, Hal Jordan put on the lantern’s ring for the first time in 1959. A re-envisioning of the original crime-fighting Green Lantern (Alan Scott), created by John Broome in the 1940s, this new Green Lantern was a science fiction adventurer. He battled aliens, giant monsters, wealthy sociopaths out to steal his power ring...and the efforts of his lady love, Carol Ferris, to discover his true identity. As the Green Lantern of the Silver Age of comic books, Hal Jordan captured the imagination of a space-minded society of the ’50s and ’60s. GREEN LANTERN: THE SILVER AGE VOLUME 1 collects the adventures of Hal Jordan as he takes on the responsibility of the ring and the lantern for the first time in SHOWCASE #22-24 and GREEN LANTERN #1-9.Perhaps the most famous of all the Green Lanterns, Hal Jordan put on the lantern’s ring for the first time in 1959.
