In "No Evil Shall Escape My Sight!", Hal Jordan, as Green Lantern, races to protect Piper's Dell from a collapsing sea wall—only to face a new threat hidden in plain sight. As the town's plastic factory emits a toxic gas that weakens him, Hal must rely on his trusty ring and the unexpected arrival of Green Arrow to confront the sinister Black Hand, who's using the very pins from the factory to manipulate the townspeople. Written by Dennis O'Neil and brought to life with powerful art by Neal Adams—pencils and inks on the cover and interior—this 2016 issue delivers a tense, grounded showdown where heroism is tested in the most ordinary of places.
In "No Evil Shall Escape My Sight!", Green Lantern and Green Arrow confront the harsh realities of urban neglect when Green Arrow brings GL to witness the suffering under slumlord Jubal Slade. After the Guardians reprimand GL for breaking their code, he defies orders to gather proof of Slade’s crimes—only for the Guardians to respond by sending a representative to join the duo on a deeper journey across America, where injustice has long gone unseen.
In "Journey to Desolation!", Green Lantern, Green Arrow, and the Old-Timer arrive in the oppressive company town of Desolation, where the defiant singer Johnny Walden faces execution for stirring rebellion with his songs. As tensions boil over and the people rise against the tyrannical Slapper Soames, Green Lantern’s ring power is unexpectedly diminished—yet even weakened, his resolve and the spirit of the townspeople forge a defiant stand.
In "A Kind of Loving, a Way of Death!", Black Canary finds herself caught in the grip of a mind-controlling cult led by Joshua after her bike is stolen. When Green Lantern and Green Arrow track her down through the stolen bike, they must confront the cult’s influence as Canary struggles to reclaim her will—especially when faced with the unthinkable choice of harming the man she once fought beside.
In "Ulysses Star Is Still Alive!", Green Lantern and Green Arrow team up to defend Native American land from destructive logging, uncovering a forgotten ancestral spirit that may hold the key to their claim. As tensions rise between the loggers and the community, the heroes must navigate a battle not just of law and land, but of legacy and memory—where justice may be just beginning.
In "Even an Immortal Can Die!", Green Lantern and Green Arrow stand witness as the Guardians of the Universe send the ancient Old-Timer to the Planet Gallo for judgment. What begins as a formal hearing quickly unravels when the Tribunal’s proceedings collapse into a sham, revealing a system where justice has been hijacked. With the Old-Timer’s life hanging in the balance and the true Tribune replaced by a mechanic, the heroes must expose the corruption and restore order before it’s too late.
In "Death Be My Destiny!", Green Lantern, Green Arrow, and Black Canary accompany the disgraced Old-Timer to Maltus, where they uncover a world choked by overpopulation engineered by Mother Juna. As they confront the consequences of her actions, the Old-Timer faces a reckoning that will test his resolve and redefine his purpose.
In "How Do You Fight a Nightmare?", Green Arrow and Black Canary face off against terrifying harpies, forcing Green Lantern to intervene—only to be lured into a trap set by the Witch Queen and her brother Sinestro. With help from a group of Amazons who’ve returned from exile, the heroes uncover a deeper conspiracy tied to ancient magic and vengeance, leading them to confront the Witch Queen and free Green Lantern from a fate worse than death.
In "…And a Child Shall Destroy Them!", Green Lantern and Green Arrow join Dinah at a private school where a mysterious cook named Grandy, a psychic little girl named Sybil, and the enigmatic owner Jason Belmore set the stage for something far more unsettling than a simple job interview. When Belmore demands the heroes leave, Dinah finds herself caught between a child’s quiet power and a hidden order built on control, forcing the heroes to return just in time to face a crisis that may be more about protection than punishment.
In "Peril in Plastic," Hal Jordan and Carol Ferris find themselves caught in a coastal crisis when the sea wall in Piper's Dell starts to collapse. As Green Lantern struggles to protect the town, he’s soon weakened by toxic gas from a nearby plastic factory, forcing him to rely on Green Arrow and his ring to turn the tide. With the community under the sinister grip of Black Hand, Hal must fight back before the town is lost to the very plastic that binds it.
In "Snowbirds Don't Fly," Green Arrow and Green Lantern track down a dangerous drug ring after Oliver is shot with one of his own arrows by a junkie. The trail leads them to a hidden hangar where they’re ambushed and drugged, only to be rescued by Roy Harper—now struggling with addiction himself. As Roy tries to make sense of his choices, Oliver is left grappling with the reality of what it means to be hooked, even as Roy prepares to take another hit.
In "They Say It'll Kill Me... But They Won't Say When!", Green Lantern and Green Arrow team up when Roy’s addiction forces Oliver to confront the dealers behind the drug trade. After finding Roy unconscious in the basement, GL brings him to Dinah’s while tracking down a knocked-out Green Arrow, who barely escapes drowning at the hands of the traffickers. Together, they expose pharmaceutical magnate Salomon Hooper as the source—but Roy’s revelation that the drugs are just a symptom of deeper wounds leaves the path forward uncertain.
In "Beware My Power," John Stewart takes a hard look at duty when a suspicious assassination attempt on racist politician Jeremiah Clutcher reveals a deeper manipulation. As tensions rise and the Green Lantern Corps grapples with the line between justice and politics, Stewart must navigate a mission that challenges his beliefs—without knowing who’s truly pulling the strings.
In "…And through Him Save a World…," Green Arrow finds himself at odds with Green Lantern and Carol Ferris when ecological prankster Isaac's antics at the Ferris Aircraft plant take a dangerous turn. When Isaac threatens Carol, the resulting confrontation spirals into a tense standoff that tests loyalty and justice—leaving Green Arrow to face the consequences of his choices as the situation escalates beyond control.
In "The Killing of an Archer!", Green Arrow is forced into a brutal moment that changes everything when he accidentally takes a life during an attack. After saying a quiet farewell to Dinah, he’s left alone—until Green Lantern arrives to find the same attackers have set a bomb in his building.
In a story that redefines heroism and redemption, Green Arrow walks away from his past, seeking peace in a monastery, while Green Lantern races to contain the fallout of a deadly bomb. When Black Canary hunts for traces of her missing ally, she uncovers a dark legacy—her former cult, now led by Sister Joshua, and its violent resurgence. Just as she’s cornered, salvation comes from an unexpected source.
In "The Fate of an Archer," Green Lantern races against time to save Black Canary after she’s critically injured, driving his search for Green Arrow into desperate territory. When a lead from the wreckage of the Arrow-Plane brings him to a ruthless scavenger, the confrontation forces Green Arrow to confront not just a threat, but a forgotten part of himself—just as Green Lantern’s resolve is tested in ways he never expected.
When a sudden cosmic event throws his power ring into chaos, Green Lantern finds himself powerless at a critical moment—only to discover the true source of the malfunction lies not in the stars, but in the quiet, unexpected choices made back on Earth.
