Green Lantern Corps #11

Part of DC's New 52 initiative, Green Lantern Corps #11 arrives in September 2012 with a cover tagline that says it all: "Alone Against the Alpha Lanterns!" Fernando Pasarin and Scott Hanna's cover renders a desperate, kinetic scene — a woman blazing with green energy constructs holds the center while a massive, hulking figure looms above and several other Lanterns are caught in the chaos around her, their rings glowing against the rocky darkness. Peter J. Tomasi's "Alpha-War: Brilliant Mistakes" promises the kind of high-stakes, Corps-wide conflict that made this New 52 series essential reading for Green Lantern fans in 2012.
