Green Lantern Corps #9

The "Alpha War" heats up in this 2012 New 52 installment of Green Lantern Corps, with John Stewart front and center, ring blazing in a fierce clash of green energy against another Lantern while the cover's bold caption declares him "Wanted for Murder." Behind them, two more ring-wielders — including a determined female Lantern — surge into the fray against a star-filled cosmos, giving the whole scene an urgent, faction-against-faction tension. Fernando Pasarin and Scott Hanna deliver a cover that crackles with kinetic energy, perfectly setting the stage for Peter J. Tomasi's continuing saga of loyalty, law, and conflict within the Corps.
