About this ebook

The 6-issue miniseries event of 2004-2005-written by Geoff Johns (BLACKEST NIGHT, TEEN TITANS) with art by Ethan Van Sciver and Prentis Rollins-is available in this new edition, complete with the preview story from Wizard Magazine as well as a number of extras previously only available in ABSOLUTE GREEN LANTERN: REBIRTH! Hal Jordan was considered the greatest Green Lantern of them all. But Jordan lost control, allowed himself to be corrupted and transformed into the villainous Parallax. Later, Jordan reappeared and made the ultimate sacrifice-a sacrifice that allowed him to become the Spectre, the Wrath of God. After several years of activity on Earth, The Spectre became restless and sought a way to prove himself worthy of that noble reputation. See how a man born without fear and seeking to rebuild his life, puts cosmic forces into motion that will have repercussions not only on Earth but across the universe. This volume sets up the events of BLACKEST NIGHT and revitalized Green Lantern as one of the most important heroes of the DCU!

Ratings and reviews

I've never read a Green Lantern comic before, honestly I did not expect much as my interest in the lanterns has always focused around john in other media and I didn't expect much more than a dull white knight from Hal . However, this story even without me fully understanding the situation Hal was coming in from was a brilliantly told and a great re-introduction to the character and I'm fully behind him. Not only that but the art is very emotive and well paced and kept me reading and excited.

my favorite comic book character and franchise. Green lantern is the beat medecine to boredom. Perfect redemption story and amazing art and action.

A fantastic way to bring back Hal Jordan and introduce the GL mythology back into the forefront. It may be confusing at times but rereading some pages honestly clarifies those issues. Worth buying, for sure.
