Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #45

In "Darkstars Rising Part Two: New Recruits," Hal Jordan’s mission to rally allies takes a dangerous turn as he frees Hector Hammond on Earth, only to face the Atomic Skull, while John Stewart risks everything on Jekuul to sway General Zod, and Guy Gardner pleads with Arkillo for the Yellow Lanterns’ aid—just as the Darkstars descend to disrupt the fragile alliance. Written by Robert Venditti and illustrated with bold precision by Ethan Van Sciver, this pivotal issue expands the stakes across the Corps’ fractured frontlines. The cover by Doug Mahnke and Jaime Mendoza captures the tension with striking intensity.
