Green Lantern by Geoff Johns #1

In "The Day Before," Kyle Rayner drifts through the cosmos, drawn into a haunting encounter with the ancient and fearsome Parallax. Meanwhile, Hal Jordan—briefly freed from the Spectre’s burden—steps back into his role as the Ghostly Guardian to pull a pilot from a crashing aircraft.

In the wake of a mysterious crash on Earth, Kyle finds himself drawn into a web of escalating anomalies—his spaceship carrying a casket, the Green Lanterns scattered across the globe, and a force known as Black Hand hunting for power. As Hal, Guy, and John share a quiet moment at a baseball game, the air grows thick with tension, and the past begins to bleed into the present. When Carol returns to Ferris Aircraft, she witnesses the impossible: a broken company remade before her eyes, and a familiar figure in an old flight jacket waiting for her.

In "Enemies Within," Geoff Johns crafts a tense, emotionally charged chapter of Green Lantern as Hal Jordan and Carol Ferris find their private moment shattered by the sudden arrival of the Justice League. With John Stewart turning against his allies and Hal forced to embrace the Spectre’s power, the bonds of trust fracture across the Corps—while Guy Gardner awakens from his coma, reclaiming his Green Lantern legacy, and Kyle Rayner stands guard over a mysterious casket in a forgotten ship, watched over by Ganthet.

In "Force of Will," Geoff Johns crafts a pulse-pounding chapter of Green Lantern where Sinestro clashes with Kyle Rayner and Green Arrow, while Ganthet begins to untangle the minds of Guy Gardner, John Stewart, and Kilowog from Parallax’s grip. As Earth’s heroes rally against the entity’s growing influence, Hal Jordan and the Spectre battle Parallax from within, forcing a fracture that sends the Spectre and Hal’s soul into the ever-after—where a trail of light from Ganthet offers a path back.

In "Rings," Geoff Johns crafts a pulse-pounding return to form as Hal Jordan, at the peak of his power, confronts Sinestro in a clash that reshapes the Green Lantern Corps. With the Justice League demanding answers, Hal must navigate the weight of his legacy while rallying the scattered Lanterns to face a threat that reaches deep into the emotional spectrum—just as Ganthet’s fate hangs in the balance.

In "Flight," Geoff Johns crafts a quiet, heartfelt moment as Hal Jordan revisits the airfield where he first flew with his father, reliving that memory with Kyle Rayner. Guided by the past and the promise of something deeper than power, Hal takes Kyle into the sky—not with a ring, but with the simple, soaring freedom of flight.
