About this Collection

This compendium collects the full run of the 2017 Green Lantern: Kyle Rayner series, reprinting the adventures of the fan-favorite Lantern as he rises to prominence in the DC Universe. Written by Ron Marz with art by Darryl Banks and others, it covers Kyle's early days as the sole Green Lantern following the destruction of the Corps, his battles with villains like Parallax and the Cyborg Superman, and his journey to embrace his legacy. The volume includes issues #1–6 of the series, along with related material from the era.

"Emerald Twilight, Part One: The Past" kicks off a pivotal moment in Green Lantern history, as a fanatically driven Hal Jordan turns on the Corps, leaving Oa in ruins. With the Guardians' power shattered and the last Green Lantern ring passed to Kyle Rayner, the fate of the universe hangs in the balance. Written by Ron Marz and brought to life by Darryl Banks' striking art, this issue marks a defining moment in Kyle Rayner's journey, with cover art by Darryl Banks and Terry Austin.
