☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis compendium collects the early adventures of Kyle Rayner, the first new Green Lantern of the 1990s, following his unexpected rise after Hal Jordan's fall. It gathers the key storylines from Green Lantern Vol. 3 #48–65, Green Lantern Annual #4–5, and related tie-ins, showcasing Kyle's struggles to master his ring, his relationships with allies like Alex DeWitt and the Justice League, and his clashes with villains such as Major Force, Sinestro, and Mongul. The volume also includes appearances by legacy Lanterns like Guy Gardner and Alan Scott, setting the stage for Kyle's evolution into a cosmic hero.
"Emerald Twilight, Part One: The Past" kicks off a pivotal chapter in Kyle Rayner’s journey with a raw, emotional confrontation that sets the stage for a cosmic reckoning. Written by Ron Marz and illustrated by Darryl Banks, with art by Derec Aucoin, Craig Hamilton, and inks by Romeo Tanghal and Ray Snyder, the story unfolds with Kyle grappling with personal loss and a shocking revelation from the legendary Alan Scott about Hal Jordan’s tragic fall. The arrival of Superman and Metron of the New Gods adds urgency to a mission that will test Kyle’s resolve like never before, all wrapped in a cover by Darryl Banks and Romeo Tanghal.
In the aftermath of a devastating assault on Oa, the surviving Guardian Ganthet flees to Earth, where he entrusts the last Green Lantern ring to Kyle Rayner—just as Hal Jordan’s reign of destruction reaches its peak. With the Corps shattered and hope fading, Kyle must step into a legacy he never asked for, facing a future where even the brightest light may not be enough.
In "Assault & Battery," Kyle Rayner grapples with the aftermath of his girlfriend Alex's murder, confronting her killer, Major Force, in a rage-fueled clash that ends only when the Los Angeles Special Crimes Unit intervenes. Back home, a visit from former Green Lantern Alan Scott unravels the tragic legacy of Hal Jordan—from hero to Parallax—while Superman and Metron of the New Gods arrive with a dire call for Kyle to step into the role of the last Green Lantern.
In "Escape to Nowhere," Vril and his R.E.B.E.L.S. race to evade a relentless L.E.G.I.O.N fleet, while Lyrl seeks to enlist Green Lantern’s aid in a mission that could change everything—though not without risking what little control he has left.
In "Conjuring," Jo helps Kyle Rayner settle into his new apartment, but their quiet moment is interrupted when Green Lantern is drawn into a supernatural clash in a nearby alley. There, the battle against mysterious demons unexpectedly awakens the fragmented memories of Felix Faust, a man long forgotten—now living in the shadows of the very streets he once haunted.
