Green Lantern: New Guardians #5

Part of DC's 2012 New 52 initiative, this issue of Green Lantern: New Guardians pulls readers straight into the chaos of "The Orrery" with a cover by Tyler Kirkham and Sal Regla that crackles with multicolored energy. Kyle Rayner in his Green Lantern uniform surges forward at the center of a swirling vortex, joined by a Star Sapphire, a Blue Lantern, and a peculiar orange creature — a vivid reminder that this team draws from across the emotional spectrum. The tagline "What Lurks Within the Vortex?" sets an ominous tone that makes this issue genuinely hard to put back on the shelf.
