The story
DC Rebirth restored what the New 52 took away — and Robert Venditti's flagship delivered the definitive Green Lantern Corps book of the era. It opens with the Corps gone: Sinestro has conquered the universe with his yellow Lanterns enforcing "Sinestro's Law," and Hal Jordan is ringless, hunted, and alone.
What follows is 50 issues of escalating cosmic war: the Corps' return, the quest to restore the Blue Lanterns with Kyle Rayner and Saint Walker, the rise of the Darkstars — an ancient order of cosmic enforcers who believe the Lanterns have failed — and a finale on Mogo that puts every Lantern in the fight.
The essential modern Corps book. If you want one Rebirth-era run, make it this one.
