Green Lanterns #26

In "The First Ring," writer Sam Humphries and artist Ronan Cliquet delve into the ancient origins of the First Lantern, Volthoom, through a haunting flashback that reveals how the power ring first corrupted its wielder. Long before the Corps, Rami guided Volthoom in harnessing the ring’s might—until its madness forced Rami to shatter the Travel Lantern and forge the first seven Green Lantern rings, one of which chooses Calleen of Alstair as a guardian. The story’s striking visuals, rendered by Cliquet with color by Ulises Arreola, and Mike McKone’s evocative cover bring this mythic beginning to life.
