Happy that Hal was able to be freed from the dark dimension. Also happy to see all the Green Lantern and other Lanterns' stories after the fight against the First Lantern. Can't wait to read more Green Lantern comics!!!! Aug 15, James DeSantis rated it it was amazing. The First lantern. The one who gave emotion to the corps. The one who began it all. The omnipotent being who is now really fucking mad because the dumbass guardians kept his ass locked up. So what does he want? Well to rearrange everything! This is actually a pretty freaking epic crossover. With the first lantern out he begins to dissect each major lantern because he feeds off their emotion. What he does is give you alternate paths in the past to trick you into feeling emotions. He especially fo The First lantern. He especially focuses on Guy and Kyle which makes for the most interesting "What if" storylines. But this title spans between Green lantern, New Guardians, , and red lanterns. And it hits on almost all of them really well. Even the red lantern stuff, which is always the least interesting for me, works decent here. The final issue for each series really hits home. Especially the Green Lantern one and Green lantern corps. Though I do think New Guardians does wonders for Kyle's character development, and then Red lantern is extremely dark Overall, a fine ending to a lot of runs here. Oct 22, Kyle rated it really liked it Shelves: dcu. A very pleasing ending to a nearly decades-long story arc. I loved being given a glance into the future of universe and being able to see the ultimate fates of all the major GL players. Feb 26, Koen rated it really liked it. Not going to spoil things of course, so I guess you'll just have to go and read it to find out what I mean.. But overall: Happy to have been part of this ride Go and enjoy!! May 04, Logan rated it it was amazing. My teachers were all off on emergency, so i had a lot of free time. So anyway this story-line evolves around The First Lantern, the first lantern that the Guardians created, but had to stop. He's back for revenge, possessing the power to bend space and time so hes basically a god! The First lantern is a pretty evil guy, going around and torturing lanterns, he's like The , he loves breaking people! I must say thou Wow! I must say though, knows how to handle a cast and a half of characters, so many characters are in this story, but each have a fair amount of page time, and play a role in the story! Overall this a great story! Mar 20, Aildiin rated it liked it Shelves: comics. Giving this 3 stars. I did not like at all the first part where the first Lantern attacks every lantern. The second part however where they start to fight back was much better. The conclusion was good too. View 1 comment. Really cool and fitting end to the epic ride Green Lantern fans have been on with Geoff Johns. Some plot devices I could have done without, but on the whole, it was a great and fitting ending. Sep 10, John rated it liked it. End of an era kind of stuff as Geoff Johns leaves Green Lantern. This is another epic that follows upon the tail of another epic, Rise of the Third Army. A lot of John's arcs have focused on the hubris of the Guardians. He's also developed the legacy and mythology immensely during his tenture. As such, The panel layouts have been generally impressive throughout John's reign not just his but the ancillary books. This arc is where it really shines, when the First Lantern manipulates characters a End of an era kind of stuff as Geoff Johns leaves Green Lantern. This arc is where it really shines, when the First Lantern manipulates characters and shows them their other selves. It's a neat character examination. Comics always have a suspension of disbelief, but I have a hard time buying Volthroom, and one there was "one" lantern. Sure, it's epic--but there can only be some many "most powerful entities" before it wears a little thin. But John's does the great task of giving deserved endings to Jordan, , the Guardians and the rest of the corps. Nov 18, Cheese rated it liked it. The supporting characters are better than the main villain which is a shame. He has the age old boring story of remaking the universe blah blah blah. Again Sinestro keeps me interested. Oct 11, Shannon Appelcline rated it really liked it Shelves: comics , comics-dc. For Johns' last major crossover and final arc , I'd expected another long-winded cosmic fight. To instead get a look at the backstories of all the major characters and some possible alternate histories for them was literally revelatory and a much nicer way to end this era of Green Lantern. The First Lantern himself was surprisingly uninteresting. I feel like Johns largely forgot to fill in his backstory. The bits we get are intriguing, but in the present he's just generic-bad-guy who wants to do For Johns' last major crossover and final arc , I'd expected another long-winded cosmic fight. The bits we get are intriguing, but in the present he's just generic-bad-guy who wants to do bad stuff tm. Ah well. Overall, Johns' run on Green Lantern was clearly one of the most iconic and definitive runs ever. He created an intriguing universe, and DC's cosmic comics should benefit from that for a long while. And now I have to decide whether this is a natural jumping off point, because DC's treatment of creators and fans in the New 52 era has generally soured me toward supporting the company Aug 23, Rok rated it liked it Shelves: ultimate-green-lantern , ultimate-comic. I am torn with this one. I love the idea but at the same time, I hate it. I love that it's a Green Lantern crossover but then I hate that this crossover took so long to get into. The way this first lantern guy just goes into other lanterns and fucks with them, turns Kyle into a pussy and Guy almost seemed like he was going to cry as he reflected on his childhood. I almost stopped reading, and I never stop reading a comic Yeah that one. When I cam ba I am torn with this one. When I cam back to it, I was almost like, na fuck this, I can just watch the animated show for my fix. Then i realized about 2 mins into the episode, I've seen this shit millions of times, I still have yet to read this so I probably should finish it. Finally got back to it and it started to pick up. It was the first time I didn't look at this story as a crossover and just a big GL story. Still love the Corps and always will. Mar 16, Bryan Miller rated it did not like it. I normally like Green Lantern, but this was one giant mess of a story. So much of it made no sense and I pity the casual reader who just happens to pick this up looking for a coherent Green Lantern story. The final chapters had bright spots and moved some characters forward, but I can't recommend this to any but the most die-hard GL fans, and even then Jan 22, Chris rated it it was amazing Shelves: graphic-novels , green-lantern. Feb 06, Andrea rated it really liked it Shelves: read-new Wow, the whole story. Apparently DC felt the need to put this out, as well as putting only the Green Lantern parts in the last volume of Green Lantern I read. At least this makes the story make sense. May 24, Earl rated it liked it Shelves: english-graphic-novels. I think Geoff Johns finally did a good job in transitioning to the New Jan 11, Scott Rees rated it it was ok. It was alright, I can see the appeal for true fans of "Green Lantern". Overall an interesting read with some parts that weren't so good. A lot of overlay with other GL titles, so I felt like I was re-reading a lot of things. Still, pretty good fill in.

This is very hard review to write. I am going to write about this arc and then followed by me just gushing about how much this arc matters as a culmination of everything that came since REBIRTH. World: The world building here is great, not because it created anything earth shatteringly new to the GL Universe, but because this was a culmination. It was a culmination of all the pieces of world building that Johns and all the other GL writers have been doing since Rebirth. Every single character has This is very hard review to write. Every single character has their little issue of development and acknowledgement of what came before and how to move on going forward. Sure, I will say that this acknowledgment did hurt the narrative and the structuring of the story but it's a small fault for all the things that this world has done since Rebirth. As a singular story you can't take that part away because this story is simply about the world and the characters. This GL universe is just rich and amazing and something I have not seen anywhere else in the DCU in it's scope and complexity and creativity since the s. Nothing else in the DCU compares at all. Story: The singular story of the First Lantern is a bit of a structural and pacing mess given the need to cover all the Lanterns and letting them have their day. Much like and the endless tie-ins this is essentially the same story told in different characters POVs. That is the first half of the arc, the First Lantern digging into each GLs past and playing with it. It's great as single issues but as a cohesive story it's janky in the beginning. Not only until the middle part does the narrative pick back up it's tension and speed to zoom toward that wonderful end. And as with the world building above you cannot simply look at this story in it's isolated state but as a culmination of everything that came before. This is the end of the Guardians story which started in Rebirth and this story is the culmination of the entire emotional spectrum that was introduced and hinted at in Rebirth. This is the end and the end we get is great. It is a cheat ending yes, but it is the ending that Johns deserves after 10 years of writing this universe. It's the ending we all wanted for this, this is an ending that does not disappoint if you never read any other GL book ever again. This is how you walk into the sunset. This ending made me cry. Characters: Yes this is a one arc and to see it as a greater I will do that later, but right now this arc in itself for each character was also strong as . It was paced poorly but each character got it's little snippet of development in their own issue. Everyone got to face the First Lantern and their past brought out as a dramatic plot device. But once again we look back at this entire run since Rebirth and we see how far these characters have gone and you will look back in awe. Rebirth happened when Rayner GL was at the end of it's legs, it was derivative and last a lot of the spark that Emerald Twilight gave Kyle and the GLU and Rebirth reignited the entire world. The cast of characters was huge and for them all to mean something and to have their own place in the GLU was a huge huge task but Johns and also the other GL writers did a phenomenal job. How do you define all the Earth Lanterns to make them each mean something? They did it, they made Guy cool again, they made John matter, they made Kyle interesting and intimate and they redeemed Hal. I started off this journey not caring about Guy the most, I wished they would have killed him off to reduce the cast, I did not care for Jordan, all I cared was Kyle and also Stewart because of the cartoons. But now with amazing character development I can't live with any of them and I would be devastated if any of them died. This is just amazing storytelling. I can't name them all, it's just too many. This is the heart of the book and this is the best part of the series and if you look at this arc and also the entire GLU since Rebirth you will know why Johns is such an amazing talent. He made GL relevant again. I cried in the end, I've not cried like this since Fables This world matters and yes the GLU is still moving forward but it will never be the same without Johns. He defined a decade even a generation of the GLU and the readers. His vision for this world has changed the GLU so fundamentally that without him it simply is impossible. Thank you Johns for making me love this universe again. Onward to the next book! Feb 19, Christopher Rush rated it liked it. Despite the frustration one undoubtedly has from the resolution-less Rise of the Third Army storyline, and the sheer insufficiency of the First Lantern as a palpable presence as a universe-threatening villain, the overall effect of this collection is one of enjoyment, tempered as it may be if you have read a number of these issues in the individual series collections.

It's one of those "let's kill off a major character 'cause it's the end of the season and we don't have any fresh ideas" sorts of moves that should not have happened and shortchanged the characters and audience far more than any potential good it could have done. Still, unless you really care about Sinestro, it might not bother you too much. As far as slam-bang finishes go, this even surpasses Grant Morrison's finale on Action Comics. It may not get any more slam-bangier than this, that's for sure. Everyone well, not the early GL Corps supporting crew, who have mysteriously all disappeared makes an appearance, even characters that don't have much to do with anything, giving us Mighty Mighty Battle Scenes and Splashes of Wow all over. Sure, this doesn't give us much time to digest or feel any emotional impact from any of these major twists and pops and booms, but it does do a fine job simulating what it might be like to ride a roller coaster without any of the devices that ensure the cars stay on the tracks.

Despite their former kin's protestations, the Guardians took the First Lantern and departed for Earth where they used the being's cosmic power to create the Third Army from the Oans own flesh. Once done, they dispatched their Third Army to convert organic sentients into more of their kind as part of a campaign to remove free will from the cosmos. During this time, the First Lantern demanded to be released and vowed that he would be freed whereupon he would torture as well as kill the Guardians. However, the Oans were adamant in ensuring the First Lantern did not escape and that they would remove him once he had served his purpose. Volthoom remained trapped in this state until the height of the Guardians plans in assimilating the cosmos with their Third Army where they tricked their Green Lanterns into an ambush on . The overwhelming onslaught led to the Guardians tapping more into the power of the First Lantern but this act shattered his prison. His freedom affected all the combatants on Oa where he captured the Guardians and began torturing to see the mistakes in his life and the reasoning on why these mistakes were made. However, Volthoom's power was greatly weakened by the Oans tapping into it and thus he was not able to affect reality whilst going through Ganthet's memories. Thus, he reabsorbed his power from the Third Army leading it to dissipating into dust whereupon he decided he needed reservoirs of emotional energy of sentient beings. As a result, Volthoom began to go through his captured foes in order to tap into their memories and torture them emotionally. In his weakened state, Volthoom began entering into the minds and memories of the various beings present on Oa with the intention of examining their lives. This was with the intention of seeing how their life choices had changed them and altering events in order to see them suffer. In addition, once freed, the First Lantern began torturing the Guardians of the Universe and revealed his ties to them when he showed that he was the one responsible for tapping into the Emotional Spectrum. To grow in power, he needed to feed on great sources of emotional energy which he gained first from the destruction of Korugar and later by claiming the Great Heart on Maltus. Overall an interesting read with some parts that weren't so good. A lot of overlay with other GL titles, so I felt like I was re-reading a lot of things. Still, pretty good fill in.

Certainly the real highlight is the optimistic, heartwarming epilogue, with everyone having a happy ending. It almost makes you wish it was the last issue entirely, for it is such a great way to end it all. Of course, the series continue, and while some of them give us their own epilogues, none of them have the richness of GL 20 unless you are a big Kyle Rainer fan. The Red Lantern stuff is still weird and forced and obvious and a bizarre combination of visceral appetite appeal and Lovecraftian weirdness though not to his level, natch , but you don' have to think about it too much. It all reads quickly. With all the general positive resolutions except for Sinestro, of course , this may be the best standalone GL collection of the bunch. Jun 28, M rated it liked it.

With the First Lantern finally at full charge, the Corps wage an all-out assault from Mogo for the fate of the universe. While the individual titles add their own look at how the major Lanterns deal with the fallout, the coda from Green Lantern looks at the potential future for all from the Book of Oa. Geoff Johns does a fine job shepherding his run on from Rebirth to the end, growing the GL mythology and adding new layers of depth to the numerous ring-slingers. The First Lantern battle sadly feels anti-climactic, despite getting the whole rainbow crew back together, and ends up feeling like a rushed vehicle needed to end the Third Army and wrap up the impressive run. The sneak peeks salvage everything, however, providing a glimpse at both potential storylines and worthy conclusions for all Lanterns. A tip of the cap to Johns and company for an exciting and memorable run; recite your oath and check out the denouement for this Green Lantern era. Dec 04, Mason rated it it was ok. This book is just another mediocre Geoff Johns story. I doubt there was any passion put into this story. So basically here is how the story goes. We go back to witnessing the creation of the universe at the hands of The Presence. Then all of a sudden an astronaut comes through the ship, and says that he is Volthoom aka The First Lantern. Then after some origin and what not, things finally get interesting Hal Jordan is in this zone that houses . And he doesn't have his Green Lantern ring. Then Simon Baz comes along and tries to escort him out. Then it cuts to Volthoom picking a Lantern and showing him his past and what he could be. That isn't a great description of what happened, but it was pretty interesting the first time. Then Volthoom does that again, and again, and again. And this one thing of Volthoom picking a Lantern and interrogating them, goes on for like 15 times. It is so annoying. Of course they kill Volthoom, but then Sinestro turns his back on Hal, obviously. So here is where things get really really stupid. Who is a god and an all powerful god. And Hal doesn't have army of Lanterns with him, it is man to man. Somehow Green Lantern Hal Jordan actually beats him!! That might just be the stupidest fight in comics. Apr 05, Daryl rated it it was ok Shelves: graphic-novels. Wow, this was a huge mess. Reprinting four issues each of Green Lantern and three related books, this is one of those major crossover "event" books, but it doesn't have much of a crossover, and the "event" felt really anti-climactic, at best. All of these encounters seem disconnec Wow, this was a huge mess. All of these encounters seem disconnected from one another, and perhaps happening at the same time.

They locate a space station the size of a solar system, and during their investigation they are attacked by Archangel Invictus , the ruler of the space station. He accuses them of conspiring with "the Beast", referring to a statue of Larfleeze. As Saint Walker faces him, Invictus reveals that he is the last of a species of angelic beings who sought to bring the light to the universe before Larfleeze attacked them. Unable to absorb the rapidly ascending spirits of the angels into his Corps, Larfleeze hunted Invictus's race to extinction, subsequently trapping him on the other side of the other-universal portal that Invictus sought to use to banish Larfleeze. Having returned, Invictus intends to kill Larfleeze and destroy the Vega System, replacing it with the Orrery he has constructed, containing duplicates of the worlds that were lost and "corrupted" by Larfleeze He also reveals that he had nothing to do with their vanishing rings, suggesting that Larfleeze set the event up to trick the other Corps into doing his work for him. Despite protesting that Larfleeze alone wasn't responsible for what has happened to the Vega System since Invictus's time, citing the current teamwork of the seven ring-wielders as proof that miracles can happen, Invictus only agrees to let the 'New Guardians' go if Kyle kills Larfleeze.

He defined a decade even a generation of the GLU and the readers. His vision for this world has changed the GLU so fundamentally that without him it simply is impossible. Thank you Johns for making me love this universe again. Onward to the next book! Feb 19, Christopher Rush rated it liked it.

Certainly the real highlight is the optimistic, heartwarming epilogue, with everyone having a happy ending. It almost makes you wish it was the last issue entirely, for it is such a great way to end it all. Of course, the series continue, and while some of them give us their own epilogues, none of them have the richness of GL 20 unless you are a big Kyle Rainer fan.

This book is just another mediocre Geoff Johns story. I doubt there was any passion put into this story. So basically here is how the story goes. We go back to Krona witnessing the creation of the universe at the hands of The Presence. Then all of a sudden an astronaut comes through the ship, and says that he is Volthoom aka The First Lantern. Then after some origin and what not, things finally get interesting Hal Jordan is in this zone that houses Black Hand. And he doesn't have his Green Lantern ring. Then Simon Baz comes along and tries to escort him out. Then it cuts to Volthoom picking a Lantern and showing him his past and what he could be. That isn't a great description of what happened, but it was pretty interesting the first time. Then Volthoom does that again, and again, and again. And this one thing of Volthoom picking a Lantern and interrogating them, goes on for like 15 times. It is so annoying. Of course they kill Volthoom, but then Sinestro turns his back on Hal, obviously. So here is where things get really really stupid. Who is a god and an all powerful god. And Hal doesn't have army of Lanterns with him, it is man to man. Somehow Green Lantern Hal Jordan actually beats him!! That might just be the stupidest fight in comics.

Volthoom creates a second reality for Kyle where he left with his father and the two work together at a father-son auto shop. When Kyle confronts a police officer that his father paid off, Kyle is met by Volthoom who sends him to another reality where Earth was ravaged by the Sinestro Corps and it is somehow Kyle's fault. Just as that realities Guy Gardner is about to on Kyle, Volthoom freezes reality and allows Kyle to choose which reality he wishes to live in.

Green Lantern: Wrath of the First Lantern by Geoff Johns

Overall an interesting read with some parts that weren't so good. A lot of overlay with other GL titles, so I felt like I was re-reading a lot of things. Still, pretty good fill in. Feb 03, Debbi rated it really liked it Shelves: in-a-foreign-language , comic-books-and-graphic-novels , my-reviews , superheroes , digital. May 18, Wing Kee rated it it was amazing. This is very hard review to write. I am going to write about this arc and then followed by me just gushing about how much this arc matters as a culmination of everything that came since REBIRTH. World: The world building here is great, not because it created anything earth shatteringly new to the GL Universe, but because this was a culmination. It was a culmination of all the pieces of world building that Johns and all the other GL writers have been doing since Rebirth. Every single character has This is very hard review to write. Every single character has their little issue of development and acknowledgement of what came before and how to move on going forward. Sure, I will say that this acknowledgment did hurt the narrative and the structuring of the story but it's a small fault for all the things that this world has done since Rebirth. As a singular story you can't take that part away because this story is simply about the world and the characters. This GL universe is just rich and amazing and something I have not seen anywhere else in the DCU in it's scope and complexity and creativity since the s. Nothing else in the DCU compares at all. Story: The singular story of the First Lantern is a bit of a structural and pacing mess given the need to cover all the Lanterns and letting them have their day. Much like Blackest Night and the endless tie-ins this is essentially the same story told in different characters POVs. That is the first half of the arc, the First Lantern digging into each GLs past and playing with it. It's great as single issues but as a cohesive story it's janky in the beginning. Not only until the middle part does the narrative pick back up it's tension and speed to zoom toward that wonderful end. And as with the world building above you cannot simply look at this story in it's isolated state but as a culmination of everything that came before. This is the end of the Guardians story which started in Rebirth and this story is the culmination of the entire emotional spectrum that was introduced and hinted at in Rebirth. This is the end and the end we get is great. It is a cheat ending yes, but it is the ending that Johns deserves after 10 years of writing this universe. It's the ending we all wanted for this, this is an ending that does not disappoint if you never read any other GL book ever again. This is how you walk into the sunset. This ending made me cry. Characters: Yes this is a one arc and to see it as a greater I will do that later, but right now this arc in itself for each character was also strong as hell. It was paced poorly but each character got it's little snippet of development in their own issue. Everyone got to face the First Lantern and their past brought out as a dramatic plot device. But once again we look back at this entire run since Rebirth and we see how far these characters have gone and you will look back in awe. Rebirth happened when Rayner GL was at the end of it's legs, it was derivative and last a lot of the spark that Emerald Twilight gave Kyle and the GLU and Rebirth reignited the entire world. The cast of characters was huge and for them all to mean something and to have their own place in the GLU was a huge huge task but Johns and also the other GL writers did a phenomenal job. How do you define all the Earth Lanterns to make them each mean something? They did it, they made Guy cool again, they made John matter, they made Kyle interesting and intimate and they redeemed Hal. I started off this journey not caring about Guy the most, I wished they would have killed him off to reduce the cast, I did not care for Jordan, all I cared was Kyle and also Stewart because of the cartoons. But now with amazing character development I can't live with any of them and I would be devastated if any of them died. This is just amazing storytelling. I can't name them all, it's just too many. This is the heart of the book and this is the best part of the series and if you look at this arc and also the entire GLU since Rebirth you will know why Johns is such an amazing talent. He made GL relevant again. I cried in the end, I've not cried like this since Fables This world matters and yes the GLU is still moving forward but it will never be the same without Johns. He defined a decade even a generation of the GLU and the readers. His vision for this world has changed the GLU so fundamentally that without him it simply is impossible.

While this does cap the Green Lantern arc off on an okay level, it's not due to anything the First Lantern does. Honestly, his threat I'll take you on 2-page mini-What-If's, but I can make them real if I want to seems outlandish, and the one time he actually follows through on it seems pretty absurd overall. Still, the Lanterns' reactions to him make him seem somewhat credible as a threat, and it's them more than the Lantern itself that sells this volume. And the codas are a nice way to end this chapter, even if the threat of the First Lantern never approaches anything like the Blackest Night era Nekron did. Jan 13, Oliver Hodson rated it liked it.

Great work overall on the entire run by all the writers and artists involved! Sep 06, Chad rated it really liked it. Here it is: Geoff John's end to an epic run of Green Lantern. So many of his developments with Hal Jordan, the appearance of different colored lantern corps, and the fate of Sinistro come to fruition here. Johns has such an understanding and a love for these characters that it comes through clearly in this ending. Johns gives the us the natural ending or progression for each of the earthly Green Lanterns while setting up a battle royale against the Guardians and the First Lantern. Black Hand is still an more serious version of Marvel Zombies, and I cannot abide it. However, Johns makes up for it some with his handling of the other Lantern Corps and the Green Lanterns. Readers also enjoyed. Science Fiction. With their power running low after they depart the Orrery, the 'team' split up to recharge. Bleez accompanies Rayner to Earth to recover his power battery, wondering at his continued ownership of a green ring and access to the Green Lantern database despite his "expulsion", while Fatality and Walker return to their Corps' respective homeworlds. Meanwhile, Munk is recalled to the Indigo Tribe, leaving Arkillo, now one of the last Sinestro Corps members after Sinestro captured and destroyed the Central Power Battery, to receive an independent but potentially unstable new battery from the Weaponer of Qward. While Rayner recharges his ring on Earth, he and Bleez are attacked by a bounty hunter who is trying to collect a reward the Guardians have put on Rayner. Although Glomulus is apparently destroyed, Kyle and Bleez are aided by Blue Beetle , who tells them Odym, the homeworld of the Blue Lanterns, is under siege by the intergalactic army The Reach. Saint Walker believes its secret location was revealed to The Reach by Larfleeze, and the New Guardians go to confront him. Munk is able to disrupt the Orange Lanterns by tapping into the Orange light, but the fight is ended when Invictus attacks the Vega System, forcing the Guardians to focus on the more immediate threat. They defeat Invictus by relocating his ship while he is fighting them on Vega, depriving him of his power source. Sayd reveals she was responsible for the rings of weaker Lanterns abandoning their bearers to travel to Kyle Rayner, intending for Kyle to unite the Corps to save Ganthet. Sayd claims her actions were performed in a moment of stress-induced insanity. The team disperses, disgusted by her method to unite the Corps. At Ferris Aircraft, Carol Ferris is looking for signs of Hal Jordan's return and encounters Thomas Kalmaku working late, and the two decide to search Hal's locker to see if he stopped by to recharge his ring. Just as they find an engagement ring inside, Kyle Rayner arrives in search of Hal in order to ask for advice about the Guardians of the Universe. Thomas brings the two's attention to a news report about Hal and Sinestro's fight with Black Hand. Kyle and Carol leave, with the later transforming into Star Sapphire. After sensing the explosion of Sinestro's Power Battery, the dead attack again and as they overwhelm the two, Kyle is able to channel the powers of green and blue energy and dispatch them. Kyle's ring informs him the Hal is dead but Carol's feelings for him and her abilities as a Star Sapphire reveal he is alive. She connects with Kyle and they witness his future, which shows the latter in various different uniforms of the other Lantern Corps. Kyle is skeptical about his ability to combine all the colors of the Emotional Spectrum but Carol believes that he can save Hal with it. Halfway across the universe, the Guardians of the Universe meet with the Zamarons who have discovered the former's schemes. Instead of trying to stop them, the Zamarons decide to aid the Guardians. Having already mastered hope, Kyle begins his training with Atrocitus in order to harness the power of rage. Atrocitus fights Kyle at Green-Wood Cemetery, believing that the latter will be able to access his rage powers if he is being fought at the location of Alex DeWitt's grave. However, Kyle instead feels sad and Atrocitus decides to take him to a war-torn country. Atrocitus holds Kyle back and forces him to watch a man being murdered in front of his son. Kyle unlocks rage and transforms into a Red Lantern, killing all the soldiers. He tries to fight Atrocitus but is knocked down by the latter and reverts into a Green Lantern. Atrocitus leaves to attend to his own business and Kyle uses the blue energies of hope to heal the nearby citizens. Kyle returns to the cemetery to find that Carol has restored Alex's grave. Kyle shows indifference to Carol and Alex's grave and decides to leave to harness the orange light of avarice. In Sector , the Guardian's Third Army begins converting more people into their ranks. Carol returns to Planet Zamaron where she is scolded for not obeying their orders. She counters that she was doing her duty as a Star Sapphire and is helping Kyle. The Zamarons allow her to continue but unbeknownst to Carol, she is being used by the Guardians to track Kyle since they can no longer tack his ring. On Planet Vorn, Kyle arrives to seek training from Arkillo. Arkillo's worshipers point him to the forest where Kyle finds Arkillo. After baiting him with constructs of Sinestro, Kyle fights Arkillo. Kyle is able to harness the yellow light of fear when he admits that he is always scared and transforms into a Yellow Lantern. Once Carol arrives, Kyle reverts into a Green Lantern and the duo head to Okaara, with Arkillo joining them so that he may kill Sinestro and become the greatest fear Lantern of all. Kyle and the group arrive at Okaara where they are greeted by Sayd. Larfleeze initially refuses to help Kyle unlock avarice but when Carol uses her powers to discover Larfleeze's heartache and that his family is still alive, Larfleeze agrees to help. Larfleeze tells Kyle that if he wants to unlock avarice, he must take the Orange Lantern Central Power Battery from him and charge his ring with it. Kyle uses the various other powers he's unlocked to help him but everyone is surprised by the arrival of the Third Army.
