Green Lanterns #4
This volume collects Green Lanterns #22-26, continuing the Rebirth era adventures of rookie Lanterns Jessica Cruz and Simon Baz. As the duo faces a new threat tied to the mysterious First Rings, they must confront the origins of the Green Lantern Corps' power while struggling to master their own abilities. Sam Humphries writes this arc, with art by Eduardo Pansica and Julio Ferreira.
"Lost in Space Part 1" dives into the ancient origins of Volthoom, the First Lantern, through a haunting flashback that reveals how Rami first guided him in wielding the Travel Lantern—only for the power to unravel Volthoom’s mind. Written by Sam Humphries and illustrated by Ronan Cliquet, with colors by Ulises Arreola and letters by Dave Sharpe, this issue traces the creation of the first seven Green Lantern rings from fragments of the Travel Lantern, including the moment one chooses Calleen of Alstair as a chosen guardian. The cover, by Brad Walker and Brandon Peterson with inks by Drew Hennessy and Brandon Peterson, captures the cosmic scale of this long-buried history.
In "Lost in Space Part 1" from Green Lanterns #4, Jessica and Simon are called to Mogo by Corps Leader John Stewart to begin their training as Green Lanterns, joining a larger mission on the living planet. As Ganthet and Sayd bring Rami to Mogo, an unseen threat stirs—Volthoom has taken control of Rami’s body, and the Corps remains unaware.
In "Lost in Space Part 2" from Green Lanterns #4 (2018), Jessica and Simon push through intense Green Lantern training under the watchful eyes of Guy Gardner and Kyle Rayner, testing their resolve in the vast unknown. Meanwhile, Volthoom—now inhabiting Rami’s body—begins unraveling secrets from Rami’s files, uncovering a path back to his own universe by seeking the first seven Green Lantern rings ever forged. Ten billion years ago, one of those rings chose a warrior from the new gods of a distant world, setting a cosmic chain in motion.
In "Lost in Space Conclusion," Simon and Jessica push through intense training with Kyle and Guy, testing their limits as Green Lanterns, while Volthoom—hijacking Rami’s body—moves quietly to reclaim the first seven Green Lantern rings, seeking to rebuild the Travel Lantern and escape his prison. Ten billion years ago, a pivotal moment in the Guardians’ history unfolds: one of the original rings chooses a White Martian to join the first seven.
In "The Return of the First Lantern," Volthoom—using Rami’s body—leads Simon and Jessica to the Vault of Shadows, where he claims the first power ring. As he reveals his true form, Simon and Jessica must prevent him from seizing Jessica’s original Green Lantern ring, one of the seven that began it all, before he uses it to open a gateway to his home universe. Ten billion years ago, two new Guardians—Tamarean and Coluan—were chosen to join the first seven.
In a forgotten age, long before the Guardians, a desperate act of hope gave rise to the first Green Lanterns. This flashback from *Green Lanterns* #4 reveals how Rami guided the unstable Volthoom in wielding the Travel Lantern—until its power consumed him—and forged seven new rings to find those strong enough to oppose him. One of those rings chose Calleen of Alstair, beginning a legacy that would echo across the universe.
