Fear has a color. It’s the gruesome glow of yellow, wielded by the totalitarian tyrant Sinestro and his Yellow Lanterns. And now the entire universe is bathed in its sinister light. The Sinestro Corps have replaced the Green Lanterns as the peacekeepers of the galaxy. Oa, the homeworld of the Guardians and their Green Lantern Corps, is no more. In its place at the center of the universe orbits Warworld, Sinestro’s home base. The Green Lanterns have vanished, leaving no one to oppose the Sinestro Corps’ reign of terror. No one, that is, except the last Lantern: Hal Jordan. Convicted of crimes he didn’t commit, reduced to a being of pure thought and will, Hal must now battle back from the brink to reform the Corps and free all of creation from his archenemy’s iron fist. Sinestro’s word is law…but Hal Jordan is the lawbreaker! Collects issues #1-7 and the HAL JORDAN AND THE GREEN LANTERN CORPS: REBIRTH one-shot special.
It’s action, adventure and conspiracy on a cosmic scale in Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps Vol. 5: Twilight of the Guardians, as writer Robert Venditti (The Flash) and artists Patrick Zircher (Superman – Action Comics) and Jack Herbert (Superwoman) team up Hal Jordan with his greatest allies against his deadliest foes! The word is out: Sinestro has returned. Wherever this tyrannical former Lantern goes, hell is sure to follow. And when Hal Jordan travels to Earth to bring his former partner to justice, hell is exactly what he finds. Another of his oldest enemies is under attack from a surprising source, and he’s unleashed all his powers to save his skin. If that means harnessing the evil entity called Parallax to corrupt the world’s greatest hero, Superman, so be it. But an even greater threat than a mad Man of Steel awaits the Emerald Knight. From the darkest depths of the cosmos, the all-powerful Controllers have returned, threatening to settle their ancient grudge against the Guardians once and for all. It will take a strike force of Earth’s first four Lanterns—Hal Jordan, John Stewart, Guy Gardner and Kyle Rayner—to save their old mentors and the universe. If the Lanterns fail, all of creation will pay the price. Collects Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #30-31 and #33-36.
