Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #42

A heavily armored Darkstar warrior blazes toward a group of Green Lanterns — rings raised and constructs flying — across a backdrop of shattered debris and blinding orange energy, and the cover tagline "Darkstars Reborn!" makes clear this is no small threat. Issue #42 kicks off the "Darkstar Rising" arc with a cover by Rafa Sandoval and Jordi Tarragona that crackles with kinetic tension, pitting multiple Lanterns against a force that clearly outclasses any single opponent. Robert Venditti's story, with interior art by Ethan Van Sciver and colors by Jason Wright, promises the kind of Corps-wide conflict that makes this corner of the DC Universe so compelling.
