In "The Tunnel Through Time!", Hal Jordan faces a delicate mission: convincing Katma Tui to stay with the Green Lantern Corps after she announces her resignation. With a clever ruse that challenges her loyalty, Hal must prove that her commitment to the Corps runs deeper than her feelings for Imi Kann.

In "Once A Green Lantern -- Always A Green Lantern!", Hal Jordan makes a personal mission to convince Katma Tui to stay with the Green Lantern Corps after she announces her resignation. Using a carefully crafted ruse, he challenges her to confront the strength of her loyalty—testing whether her commitment to the Corps outweighs her feelings for Imi Kann.
In "Power Battery Peril!", Green Lantern finds himself pulled into his own power battery and hurled across space to the planet Thronn, where he must confront an oppressive tyrant and free the imprisoned heroes who've been captured by the regime. The story unfolds with the Green Lantern’s courage tested in a world where his willpower is both his greatest weapon and his only lifeline.
In "Wizard of the Light-Wave Weapons!", Dr. Light unleashes his dazzling array of light-wave weapons in a calculated bid to dismantle the Justice League, one hero at a time. Green Lantern stands firm, using wit and willpower to outmaneuver the radiant threat—proving that even the brightest weapons can be overcome by a steadfast spirit.
In a quiet hospital room, Barks Ownley overhears Tom Kalmaku murmuring about the Green Lantern power battery in his sleep—and sees his chance. With a cunning plan in motion, he sets out to steal it, but Green Lantern is already one step ahead, having been warned by Tom and ready to turn the thief’s own scheme against him.
In "The Plot To Conquer the Universe," Hal Jordan races to Oa to purge the lingering influence of hypnotic implants planted by Betty Sloane, but his journey is interrupted by a sudden and dangerous confrontation with the enigmatic new threat, Evil Star. As the Green Lantern fights to maintain control, the battle tests his resolve and reveals the true cost of his past.
In "Menace of the Atomic Changeling!" from Green Lantern Archives #5, Hal Jordan teams up with Green Lantern Tomar-Re to stop an elusive atomic energy entity that hijacks bodies and turns inanimate objects into weapons.
