Reading Era
DC Rebirth
The legends return — and two new Earth Lanterns join the Corps.
2016 – 2018
Start with Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps: Rebirth #1.
The story
DC Rebirth was a course correction — a promise that history mattered again — and Green Lantern got two books that embodied it. Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps reunited the legends: Hal, John, Guy, and Kyle, together again, facing Sinestro at the height of his power.
Meanwhile Green Lanterns introduced the Corps' newest Earth Lanterns: Jessica Cruz, overcoming crippling anxiety to wield the ring, and Simon Baz, carrying a gun and a emerald light in uneasy balance. Their partnership — two rookies learning together — became the era's beating heart.
It's the friendliest jumping-on point of the modern era: big cosmic stakes, deep character work, and a clear sense that the Corps is a family again.
