About this Collection
This 2009 DC collection brings together the one-shot and tie-in issues that expanded the 'Sinestro Corps War' storyline, including the origin of the Sinestro Corps and key battles from the perspective of its members. It features stories by writers like Geoff Johns, Dave Gibbons, and Ron Marz, with art by various creators, and collects material such as Green Lantern: Tales of the Sinestro Corps #1, Green Lantern/Sinestro Corps: Secret Files #1, and related chapters from Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps.
"Despotellis Spreads Fear" delivers a gripping dive into Superman-Prime’s fractured psyche, as the hero from Earth-Prime confronts the consequences of his actions after defacing Bart Allen’s statue. Written by Geoff Johns and illustrated by Pete Woods and Jerry Ordway, the issue unfolds with sharp emotional stakes and vivid art, while Brad Anderson’s colors and John J. Hill’s lettering enhance the tension. The cover by Ivan Reis and Oclair Albert captures the moment’s intensity, making this a standout in the Sinestro Corps saga.
