Green Lantern #170
In "The Inheritance!", Green Lantern #170 (1983) delivers a poignant moment in the Corps' legacy as Krista faces a pivotal decision, guided by a mysterious stone from the Guardians. The story unfolds across two timelines: one following the tragic passing of Lodar Monak, who entrusts his ring to his untrained son Meeno, and another tracking the aftermath as the Guardians pass the ring to a rebel on Z'nang. Written by Gary Cohn and illustrated by George Tuska and Mike Sekowsky, with inks by Gary Martin, Frank McLaughlin, and Rodin Rodriguez, and colors by Anthony Tollin, the issue's striking cover by Gil Kane captures the weight of legacy and duty.

Krista is ready to resign her Green Lantern position, when the Guardians give her a reflective stone of memories, in which she sees the main story. Meanwhile, the Guardians tell Hal Jordan that his psychodrama is over and he can return to his duties. In the main story, Lodar Monak is killed while battling Z'Nang forces attacking his planet, and passes his ring to his son, Meeno. But Meeno has no training and nearly destroys the planet of Z'nang, dying himself when saving it at the last minute after the Guardians intervene. The Guardians pass his ring to a rebel on Z'nang.
