Green Lantern: Rebirth: DC Compact Comics Edition

Hal Jordan returns in the story that rebuilt a legend in this DC Compact Comics Edition.

One of DC’s greatest heroes returns.

After years away, test pilot Hal Jordan is given a second chance to reclaim his place as Green Lantern—the wielder of a powerful ring capable of creating anything he can imagine. But rebuilding his life, repairing damaged relationships, and earning the trust of fellow heroes may prove more difficult than mastering the power of the ring itself.

Written by Geoff Johns and illustrated by Ethan Van Sciver, Green Lantern: Rebirth reintroduces Hal Jordan and lays the foundation for one of DC’s most acclaimed modern superhero sagas. Combining cosmic adventure, mystery, action, and redemption, these stories transformed Green Lantern into one of the publisher’s flagship franchises.

This collection also includes Green Lantern: No Fear, the opening arc of Johns’s ongoing series, as Hal returns to active duty and confronts new threats across Earth and beyond.

Collects Green Lantern: Rebirth #1-6 and Green Lantern #1-6 (No Fear).
