About this Collection

This volume collects Green Lanterns #7-14, continuing the Rebirth era adventures of rookie Lanterns Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz. The story introduces the Phantom Lantern, a mysterious new wielder of a unique power ring that threatens to disrupt the fragile balance the two heroes are building as partners. Writer Sam Humphries and artist Robson Rocha pit the duo against an enemy that preys on their deepest fears and insecurities.

In "Family Matters Part One: Kitchen Nightmares," Frank Laminski's long-held dream of becoming a Green Lantern takes a dark turn when he finally believes he's been chosen—only to see the ring go to Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz instead. As his obsession deepens, a mysterious figure named Volthoom reveals the existence of the Phantom Ring, a power source that doesn’t require selection. Written by Sam Humphries and illustrated by Robson Rocha, with inks by Jay Leisten, colors by Blond, and letters by Dave Sharpe, this issue explores the roots of Frank’s fixation through a haunting flashback, all framed by a cover by Robson Rocha and Joe Prado.
