It reprints stories that explore the origins and defining moments of characters like Abin Sur, Sinestro, and the living planet Mogo, while also featuring appearances by Superman, Green Arrow, and Black Canary. The volume serves as a broad primer on the Green Lantern mythos, emphasizing the 'In Brightest Day' oath and the Corps' role as intergalactic peacekeepers.
In Green Lantern: In Brightest Day #nn, Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill deliver a haunting, high-stakes journey as Abin Sur ventures into the forbidden reaches of space to locate a crashed vessel on the desolate planet Ysmault. There, face to face with the nightmarish Empire of Tears and the enigmatic Qull of the Five Inversions, Abin is drawn into a chilling exchange that promises answers—each one a step toward a fate he cannot yet comprehend. Jim Lee and Scott Williams' cover captures the moment’s dread with striking precision.
When Sinestro kidnaps 100,000 people from the quiet town of Valdale to lure Green Lantern into a trap, the Guardians issue a dire warning. With the fate of an entire town hanging in the balance, Green Lantern must race to Qward to confront Sinestro and free the captured citizens—before it’s too late.
In "Earth's Other Green Lantern!", Hal Jordan is shown a possible timeline where Guy Gardner, not he, was the first human chosen by Abin Sur to carry the Green Lantern power ring. The story explores how Earth’s defense and the Corps might have changed if Guy had been the one to wield the ring from the start.
In "Must There Be a Superman?", Superman is confronted by the Guardians of the Universe with a provocative question: could his presence be holding humanity back? As he wrestles with that idea, he finds himself drawn into the struggles of a migrant camp, where his strength and ideals are tested in ways far removed from saving the world from cosmic threats.
In "I, Lantern," Jo, a grieving survivor from the fallen planet Grenda, hijacks a transport to Oa after the funeral of Green Lantern Stel. There, driven by loss and desperation, he demands and receives a Green Lantern ring, hoping to wield its power to protect his people—though his first attempt to save his comrades from the Krydos ends in failure.
In "I, Lantern Part Two," Jo's desperate gamble to reclaim her stolen power ring forces her to confront the full weight of her past, as memories of her fallen mentor Stel surface in unexpected ways. With the Krydos closing in and her resolve tested, the ring's final act becomes a lifeline—awakening Stel from death itself, just as the battle for survival reaches its breaking point.
In *Green Lantern: In Brightest Day #nn*, Abin Sur ventures into the forbidden reaches of space to locate a crashed vessel on the desolate planet Ysmault. There, he confronts the terrifying Empire of Tears and its enigmatic tormentor, Qull of the Five Inversions, who offers cryptic answers to three questions—each one echoing with consequences that will shape Abin’s fate far beyond this moment.
