Reading Era
Morrison & Sharp
Hal Jordan investigates strange cases across the cosmos.
2018 – 2021
Start with The Green Lantern #1, released November 7, 2018.
The story
Grant Morrison and Liam Sharp frame Hal Jordan as an intergalactic police officer. His strange cases build into a larger conspiracy, drawing on the Corps' history and the possibilities of alien societies.
The first season leads into Green Lantern: Blackstars, illustrated by Xermanico, before Season Two reunites Morrison and Sharp. The 2019 annual, illustrated by Giuseppe Camuncoli, adds a side story involving Hal's family.
Knowing Hal and the Guardians helps, but you do not need to finish every earlier run. The first issue's January 2019 cover date differs from its November 2018 release. Use the Morrison reading guide for the full sequence and collection contents.
