Green Lantern #63

This April 2011 issue kicks off the prologue to "War of the Green Lanterns," and Gary Frank's cover makes the stakes immediately clear — a dark, robed figure stands at the center with arms outstretched, surrounded by a terrifying menagerie of alien creatures in every color of the emotional spectrum: a coiling gold serpent, a crimson beast, a purple dragon-like creature, a blue avian entity, and a green serpentine form, all converging in what the banner bluntly calls an "Assault on Oa!" With Geoff Johns writing alongside artists Ed Benes and Ardian Syaf, this prologue sets the stage for one of the Green Lantern universe's most ambitious storylines, promising cosmic conflict on a massive scale.
