Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #43

In "Darkstars Rising Prelude Part Two: Lethal Force," the Green Lantern Corps confronts the terrifyingly efficient Darkstars, who are eliminating criminals across the cosmos with no regard for mercy. As the Corps struggles to stand against overwhelming odds, Tomar-Tu insists they must not interfere—no matter the cost. Written by Robert Venditti and illustrated by Rafa Sandoval, with inks by Jordi Tarragona, colors by Tomeu Morey, and letters by Dave Sharpe, this 2018 issue delivers high-stakes tension and moral complexity. The cover by Ethan Van Sciver captures the grim intensity of the conflict.
