Green Lantern #42

Something has gone terribly wrong for Hal Jordan in Green Lantern #42 — the cover, illustrated by Billy Tan, shows him tumbling helplessly through a debris-filled asteroid field, his body wreathed in crackling green energy as his ring blazes against a brilliant burst of light, with a spacecraft visible in the chaos above him. The story arc banner promises "The Medusa Effect," hinting at whatever cosmic force has left Earth's emerald protector in such a dire, uncontrolled state. Robert Venditti and the full creative team deliver what looks to be a genuinely gripping chapter from September 2015.
