Green Lantern Corps #42

Part of DC's sprawling "Blackest Night" crossover, this January 2010 chapter of Green Lantern Corps throws readers straight into the chaos at Oa, where a grim-faced Green Lantern wields a massive energy construct rifle while a pink-skinned Lantern and a red-masked ally dive into the fray above a swarm of dark figures below. A cover warning — "Central Power Battery Consumption in Progress" — signals that something is deeply wrong at the heart of the Corps. Patrick Gleason and Rebecca Buchman's cover crackles with kinetic urgency, making "Hungry Heart" feel like a pivotal moment in the battle for the universe's most important light source.
