Green Lantern #19

Part nine of "Wrath of the First Lantern" delivers a genuinely striking image: the armored forms of Lanterns from multiple Corps — Blue, Green, Pink/Star Sapphire, Red, and more — lie scattered and broken across a debris-strewn landscape, smoke rising from the carnage. The cover tagline "When Every Corps Is Shattered…" sets an ominous tone that Gary Frank renders with real visceral weight, the cracked helmets and twisted constructs telegraphing the scale of the threat bearing down on every ring-wielder in the DC Universe. With Geoff Johns at the helm and a full artistic team behind the interiors, this 2013 New 52 chapter feels like a crossroads moment for the entire spectrum of Lantern mythology.
