Green Lantern #30

Part of DC's New 52 initiative, Green Lantern #30 arrives in 2014 with a cover by Billy Tan that frames the stakes in vivid, visceral terms. Hal Jordan in his Green Lantern uniform locks blades with a massive, horned warrior while a sea of skulls and combatants surges behind them — the cover copy asking whether a single battle can end a cosmic war. Written by Robert Venditti with art by Martin Coccolo, "Death and Life" promises a story as enormous in scope as that burning, bloodsoaked battlefield suggests.
