Green Lantern #50

A landmark 50th issue arrives in 2010 at the height of the "Blackest Night" saga, with writer Geoff Johns and cover artist Doug Mahnke (inked by Christian Alamy) delivering a genuinely striking image: a powerfully built Green Lantern looming forward, his power ring and lantern crackling with wild yellow-green lightning as the title "Parallax Rebirth" blazes across the cover. The figure's intense, almost furious expression and the raw energy surging around him set an unmistakably high-stakes tone for whatever lies inside. Fans of Johns' run on the series will want this milestone chapter on their shelf.
