Story history — History and later developments — spoilers
Simon begins with doubts about relying on an alien weapon he does not fully understand, which explains his early habit of carrying a handgun as backup. His partnership with Jessica gives both rookies someone facing similar demands. Green Lanterns: Rebirth #1 and the first ongoing arc are a more direct route to that partnership than stories published before his creation.
Reference scope: DC identifies the 2012 Free Comic Book Day special as Simon’s first appearance. Green Lantern #0 is the subsequent origin-focused introduction.
