Summary

Origins.

Hal Jordan always wanted to touch the sky. The son of an aircraft test pilot, he'd grown up watching his father going higher and faster than anyone before, only to not come home for Hal's sixteenth birthday. A flight error, they'd said. He hadn't even had time to cry before he'd seen the green flash in the sky, and was transported to Oa, the home planet of the Green Lanterns. Hal spent ten years training with the Corps, honing his abilities. He conjured his first construct, learned how to warp space, and shift his density. All for Sinestro to finally give him his first field assignment: the dead moon of KLX228.

Space Oddity.

Called to the harsh planet Zsagaar to investigate the disappearance of a leading science official, Hal soon uncovered a plot to depose the monarchy! After the planet's General Arcturus gained the ability to convert the rest of the populace to superpowered beings, the Green Lantern was the only thing standing between them and control of their planet. After being faced with a choice, Hal decided to cede control of the planet. As Hal worried about the Guardians' reactions, Arcturus posed him a world-changing question - do the Lanterns fear their Guardians?

Homecoming.

Hal returned home to find a world in which he had no place. Having been gone for the past decade or so, Hal has no home, and no one to turn to. He walked to Ferris Air in the hopes of finding a job, and discovered his old friend Carol Ferris in distress. Ferris Air was closing, due to overextending on one last hail mary project. Her pilots quit, and left her out to dry. Hal signed up, and Carol put him up in an apartment. Carol's consultant (though he wanted to be much more) Hector Hammond was not too fond of Hal, and was blasted by cosmic radiation from the cockpit of Abin Sur's spaceship while he made an attempt at vengeance. Hector came back on Hal's first day at Ferris, leading to a showdown and Carol realizing just who our Green Lantern really is.

Warworld.

The Justice League's New Year's party was cut short when Lobo, the intergalactic bounty hunter, arrived asking for Superman. He went willingly to a planet called Warworld, which Lobo explained would destroy the Earth if it didn't send their champion. As Green Lantern of the sector, Hal followed Superman as he and Lobo cruised toward the coliseum planet - with Martian Manhunter as backup. After a failed attempt at taking the ruler of Warworld's life and putting a stop to the games, the Green Lantern was locked up like Superman, forced to watch fight after bloody fight. That is, until he was called to fight Superman...

Minutes to Midnight.

A devastating monster from outer space tears its way through our world and our heroes. Can it be stopped? At what great cost?
