☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 2003 DC collection brings together the four-issue miniseries 'Green Lantern: Brother's Keeper,' focusing on Kyle Rayner as he takes on a new Green Lantern recruit while grappling with the responsibilities of training a successor. The story explores themes of mentorship and legacy within the Green Lantern mythos, written by Judd Winick with art by Diego Olmos and others.
In "Back in the Saddle," Green Lantern confronts the aftermath of a violent attack on his friend Terry, leading him to seek time travel with Flash—only to be challenged by Batman, Flash, and the Spectre on the limits of heroism. As Terry struggles to regain his memories and Kyle grapples with the darkness he sensed in humanity, the weight of his duty forces a difficult choice: stepping away from Earth to protect the universe, leaving John Stewart to carry the mantle once more. Written by Judd Winick and illustrated by Dale Eaglesham, with inks by Rodney Ramos, colors by Moose Baumann, and letters by Kurt Hathaway, the issue's cover by Jim Lee and Scott Williams captures the emotional stakes of a hero at a crossroads.
In "Back in the Saddle," Kyle returns to his Green Lantern duties only to find Manhattan gripped by mass hallucinations and chaos, with even those closest to him—like Jade—caught in the surreal storm. The story explores the strain of duty when the line between reality and illusion begins to blur.
In "Out of Our Heads, Part Two," Kyle faces off against the unsettling mind manipulator Brainwave, who's behind the chaos in downtown New York. With Jade and Sentinel already under his control, Kyle must confront the full force of Brainwave’s powers—only to realize he’s utterly defenseless against a foe who strikes from within.
In "Hate Crime, Part One" from Green Lantern: Brother's Keeper, Kyle and Jennie return to New York to confront a brutal attack on Terry, who was viciously assaulted outside a club for being gay. With his powers, Kyle tracks down the three men responsible and exacts a punishing retribution—though the cost of that justice weighs heavily on him.
In "Hate Crime, Part Two," Kyle Rayner grapples with the aftermath of a brutal homophobic attack on Terry, confronting both his own limits as a hero and the darker impulses he sensed while wielding the power of Ion. As he struggles with the weight of humanity’s cruelty, he seeks to undo the past—only to be reminded by Flash, Batman, and the Spectre that even heroes must respect the boundaries of time and justice. With Terry still recovering and haunted by lost memories, Kyle makes a quiet decision to step away, leaving Earth behind with Jade and passing the mantle to John Stewart.
