In "Defective," Jaime Reyes faces his most personal challenge yet when a Sinestro Corps ring makes a startling offer to Peacemaker—only to reveal a hidden Reach scarab embedded in his spine. With tensions escalating and the fate of a friend hanging in the balance, Jaime and Brik must navigate the volatile clash of alien technology and fractured loyalty. Written by John Rogers and brought to life by Rafael Albuquerque’s striking art and Guy Major’s vivid colors, this issue marks a pivotal moment in Jaime’s journey. The cover, by Cully Hamner, captures the tension with a haunting, high-stakes intensity.
