DC Premium #39
"Finsterste Nacht" delivers a gripping chapter in the Green Lantern saga, with Geoff Johns and Christian Heiss crafting a story that deepens the stakes for Hal Jordan and Guy Gardner as personal tensions collide with League-wide crises. Ethan Van Sciver’s dynamic art, polished by Prentis Rollins and Moose Baumann’s vivid colors, brings the emotional weight and cosmic scale to life, while Dave Gibbons’ striking cover captures the moment Hal is transformed into the Spectre.
In "Finsterste Nacht," Kyle’s mysterious arrival with a ship carrying a coffin sets off a chain of strange events on Earth. As Hal, John, and Guy share a baseball game that unnerves the crowd, Black Hand’s attempt to steal Oliver Queen’s Green Lantern ring is thwarted—only for Guy’s body to explode in his bar, just as Coast City inexplicably rebuilds itself. The JLA and JSA scramble to make sense of the chaos, but the true nature of the night’s horrors remains hidden.
In "Feinde im Innern," Hal Jordan and Carol Ferris share a quiet moment that quickly unravels when the Justice League intervenes, demanding answers about Coast City and Guy Gardner’s rejection of his Vuldarian DNA. Tensions rise as John Stewart defies the League, forcing Hal into the role of the Spectre, while Guy awakens from his coma, receives a duplicate of Ollie’s ring, and reclaims his Green Lantern power—just as Kilowog confronts Kyle Rayner in a race to find the mysterious sarcophagus aboard the spaceship, guarded by Ganthet.
In "Gelb," Kyle Rayner arrives at the JLA Watchtower with a chilling revelation: Hal Jordan isn't just gone—he's been taken over by Parallax, and the truth behind the entity’s return is far more sinister than anyone realized. As Hal battles for his soul against both Parallax and the Spectre, Kyle and Green Arrow are forced to confront Sinestro, who reveals a shocking connection to the entity’s resurgence.
In "Willenskraft," Sinestro clashes with Kyle Rayner and Green Arrow as Ganthet works to free Guy Gardner, John Stewart, and Kilowog from Parallax’s grip. When Earth’s heroes join the battle, Hal Jordan and the Spectre confront Parallax from within, fracturing into three distinct entities. As Parallax flees into Ganthet, the Spectre and Hal’s soul journey into eternity—but Hal follows a guiding light back to his own body.
In "Ringe," Hal Jordan faces a past he thought he’d left behind when he returns as the greatest Green Lantern, confronting Sinestro in a battle that reshapes the Corps. For the first time, he meets Kyle Rayner face-to-face, and together they rally the other Lanterns to save Ganthet from Parallax—though the Justice League isn’t ready to let them go without answers.
In "Am hellsten Tag," Hal Jordan, backed by Alan Scott, makes a bold stand as he rallies the Justice League to step aside—knowing that only the Green Lanterns can confront the threat of Parallax and rescue Ganthet, before sealing the entity once more within Oa’s central Power Battery.
