New Releases by Ron Marz

A new Green Lantern rises in this collection, chronicling the earliest appearances of fan-favorite hero Kyle Rayner! Hal Jordan had been Earth's Green Lantern--a proud hero in an even prouder tradition. But even heroes have their limits, and when his hometown of Coast City was destroyed by Mongul, Hal Jordan reached his. When refused the power to change the past by the Green Lantern Corps' creators, something inside Hal snapped. He crossed the line he had sworn he never would, and stripped the Guardians of the Universe and their legendary Green Lantern Corps of every shred of power they had, killing many of them in the process. He became a man consumed with his own rage, and an era of heroism ended. The ring and legend of the Corps, however, would not be extinguished. The lone surviving Guardian has come to Earth and bequeathed the final power ring to a young man named Kyle Rayner. With it, a new chapter in the legacy of Green Lantern has begun. But this time, there's no one to train the new bearer of the ring, and he must learn to wield it in a trial by fire against some of the DC Universe's most powerful threats! Green Lantern: Kyle Rayner Vol. 1 collects (in chronological order) Green Lantern #48-57, New Titans #116-117 and R.E.B.E.L.S. #1 from Ron Marz, Darryl Banks and Romeo Tanghal, comics creators who reinvented Green Lantern for a new generation! With Kyle Rayner back in the lead role of the ongoing Green Lantern series, it's the perfect time to revisit the character's first adventures.
