Green Lantern #42

This 2009 "Prelude to Blackest Night" chapter — "Agent Orange Part Four" — arrives with a cover by Philip Tan and Jonathan Glapion that absolutely commands attention: a figure consumed by blazing orange fire clutches a glowing orange power ring, his eyes burning with that telltale avarice as the word "MINE!" erupts across the background in a frenzy of greed-fueled typography. It's a visceral visual snapshot of what the Orange Lantern mythos is all about, rendered with fierce intensity by Tan and Glapion. Geoff Johns, Philip Tan, and Eddy Barrows bring part four of this arc to life, making this a compelling stop in one of 2009's most ambitious Green Lantern storylines.
