Product Description
The sold out 6-issue miniseries event of 2004-2005 — written by Geoff Johns (THE FLASH, TEEN TITANS) with art by Ethan Van Sciver and Prentis Rollins — is collected for the first time, complete with the preview story from Wizard Magazine! 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 also features an introduction by best-selling author Brad Meltzer and a new cover by Van Sciver! |

An excellent re-introduction to a classic hero, Sunday, December 27, 2009
Geoff Johns is a very talented writer, and this collection of stories chronicling the "rebirth" of Hal Jordan, Green Lantern, proves it. Jordan is now struggling in the confines of the Spectre and is trying to literally exorcise his personal demons. We learn the history of Parallax and why the Lanterns' rings don't work against the color yellow; we also learn how each Green Lantern's ring works according to the personality of the man/woman/alien wielding it. Commenting on the artwork by Ethan Van Sciver is hard, because I really don't know all the techniques used by comics artists; suffice to say that he does a fantastic job of bringing the Lanterns to life. I really wasn't much of a fan of Green Lantern before but now I want to read all that Johns has written regarding this character.

A true classic....And I'll never forget it, Friday, October 16, 2009
This book has got to be my favorite comic book story of all time. It is a story of redemption for a hero that had fallen as low and deep as a man can go. This story is about his return and the steps he will take to start to redeem himself. You can't help but feel inspired by his journey. Also, it gives a much needed jolt to the Green Lantern mythos. I dare you to read this and not pick up the Green Lantern series afterwards. This is a must buy for all fans of comics.
