Green Lantern #84

The second chapter of the "Retribution" arc arrives in this March 1997 installment, and the cover — penciled by Darryl Banks and inked by Romeo Tanghal — sets a tense, street-level scene. Two Green Lanterns stand back-to-back on a wrecked taxi in an urban setting: a woman channeling glowing green energy from her ring, and a male Lantern armed with a bladed staff and a gun, his costume bearing a white chest symbol, both looking battered and pressed hard by unseen forces. That word splashed across the bottom — "POWERLESS…!" — hints at a struggle that goes well beyond the usual ring-powered heroics, making this an intriguing middle chapter in the three-part story.
