By Ron "The Gone" Marz, Rick Leonardi and Mike Perkins, cover by Eric Kohler.
A battle beyond the stars didn't end quite as imagined. Legendary cosmic guardian and former Green Lantern Hal Jordan has unknowingly left a horrific legacy to the future. When Hal vowed to respect all life, he probably wasn't thinking of the nasty, acid-dripping, murdering Aliens -- and because he spared these vile creatures, he doomed the lives of countless others years later. Now it's up to current GL Kyle Rayner and the remnants of the defunct Green Lantern Corp. to clean up the mess made by his predecessor. But Kyle is still struggling with the mantle of Green Lantern that he's inherited. Further, he's struggling with the definition of heroism in a day and age when Hal's nobility is all too rare. What Kyle's about to experience in the darkest regions of space will change him forever...if it doesn't kill him first. Collects the four-issue mini-series. Co-published with DC Comics.

To better learn the true meaning of retribution and to understand the nature of his cruel cosmic duty, the Spectre travels to Hell -- only to find it's not at all what he expected. What effect will the ultimate place of punishment have upon our fallen hero? Thus begins one man's long path to enlightenment, as Hal undergoes some surprising transformations over the course of the series. It's the start of something bigger than the DCU itself.
