About this Collection

This 2003 DC collection brings together the two-issue miniseries exploring the Ion entity, a cosmic force tied to the Green Lantern mythos. The story follows Kyle Rayner as he fully bonds with the Ion power, grappling with its immense abilities and the responsibilities that come with being a living embodiment of willpower. Featuring writing by Ron Marz and art by Greg Tocchini, it's a key chapter in Kyle's evolution as a hero.

In "House on Fire, Part Two," Kyle Rayner grapples with the weight of his Ion powers as he journeys through the histories of Earth’s Green Lanterns. Written by Judd Winick and illustrated by Pat Quinn and Dale Eaglesham, with inks by John Lowe and Rodney Ramos, this pivotal 2003 issue sees Kyle confront pivotal moments in his past—including a rare meeting with his birth father—and make a momentous decision on Oa that reshapes the legacy of the Guardians. The cover by Ariel Olivetti captures the intensity of his transformation.
