Previously, in Green Lantern: The Third Army was defeated when the Guardians of the Universe attempted to draw too much power from their power source – the First Lantern. Inadvertently freeing the supremely powerful entity, the Guardians were powerless to stop the First Lantern wrecking havoc across the universe. His modus operandi is to track the lifepaths of his enemies and change them in subtle ways to feast on their despair, eventually planning to gain enough power to rewrite reality permanently.

Hal Jordan and Sinestro were attacked by the Guardians prior to their Third Army invasion and banished to the Dead Zone. Newest Earth Green Lantern Simon Baz tracked the pair to the Dead Zone, but was imprisoned there himself. With the help of the Templar Guardians, a hidden sect of Guardians who opposed the Third Army, Simon was able to escape once again and bring Sinestro back to the land of the living with him. Now the only way for Hal Jordan to return to our world is to become a master of the Black Lantern Ring – Hal Jordan must die.

Previously, in Green Lantern: The Guardians, in their insanity, attempted to destroy all life in the universe using their Third Army. When the Green Lantern Corps rebelled against them, the Guardians’ last ditch plan to empower the Third Army lead to the release of Volthoom, the First Lantern, an immensely powerful being with the ability to alter the fabric of reality itself. His aim now is to gather enough power so that he can change history for his own benefit.

In a bid to stop the First Lantern and the Guardians, new Green Lantern Simon Baz ventured into the Book of the Black to rescue Hal Jordan and Sinestro. Instead, he came face to face with Black Hand, the homicidal supervillain and the universe’s only current Black Lantern. Black Hand trapped Simon inside the Dead Zone, the dark realm of the dead, alongside Hal and Sinestro – now the trio will need to work together in order to escape.

Previously, in Green Lantern: The Guardians of the Universe have gone insane, and are intent on wiping out all sentience life in the universe. To this end, they have crafted the Third Army, creatures made from Guardian flesh with no emotions or free will of their own. They also banished Hal Jordan and Sinestro, the two greatest Green Lanterns, to the Dead Zone. New Green Lantern Simon Baz, aided by veteran Lantern B’dg, has travelled into the Book of the Black in search of them — only to run into Black Hand, the one responsible for Hal and Sinestro’s imprisonment.

The Green Lantern Corps, White Lantern Kyle Rayner, and a legion of Manhunters controlled by Atrocitus of the Red Lanterns fought back against the Third Army, and were able to drive them and the Guardians to retreat. Desperate not to lose, the Guardians drew more power from the power source behind the Third Army – Volthoom, the First Lantern. This allowed him to break free of his prison, and now he has declared war on them all.

Previously, in Green Lantern: Whilst battling the supervillain Black Hand, Sinestro and Hal Jordan were forced into the Dead Zone by the Guardians of the Universe, who have gone insane and are now attempting to wipe out free will in the universe, using their Third Army – creatures made of Guardian flesh who are able to assimilate other beings, and are completely subservient to the Guardians themselves.

Sinestro’s Green Lantern ring was sent to Earth, where it found Simon Baz, an unfortunate man who has been branded a terrorist after a van theft gone wrong. Simon has managed to get on the wrong side of the American Government, as well as the Justice League, but after forging an almost-truce with Agent Fed, the lead investigator into his alleged terrorism charges, the Third Army tore through the building and put them both in jeopardy. Luckily, Simon and Fed were rescued by B’dg, a squirrely Green Lantern.

Previously, in Green Lantern: Hal Jordan and Sinestro have been trapped inside Black Hand’s Black Lantern ring, and appear to the outside world to have perished. Black Hand himself has been imprisoned alongside an off-shoot of the Guardians who were tasked with protecting the prison of the First Lantern. The Guardians of the Universe broke into said prison, freed the First Lantern in order to power their Third Army, and murdered one of their kin in cold blood.

Back on Earth, Simon Baz has received a Green Lantern ring, and is now on the run from both the government and the Justice League after being suspected of terrorism. He is learning to use his new ring, and at the same time attempting to discover the root of all his problems – who planted the bomb in the van that he stole? Baz is unaware of the existence of other Earth-related Green Lanterns, but that is about to change.

Previously, in Green Lantern: The Guardians of the Universe have enacted their plan to eliminate the different coloured Lantern Corps; creatures made of Guardian flesh who have no free will, and can assimilate other beings into their ranks. This Third Army now marches across the universe unimpeded. Hal Jordan and Sinestro discovered the Guardians’ plan, but were sent into a dark dimension by Black Hand before they could do anything about it.

As a result of their apparent deaths, Jordan and Sinestro’s Green Lantern rings combined into one, and found a new bearer in the form of Simon Baz, a man on the run, falsely accused of terrorism. Baz is able to escape his government with the ring’s aid, but soon finds himself confronted by the Justice League who are investigating Jordan’s disappearance.

Previously, in Green Lantern: Hal Jordan and Sinestro battled Black Hand, who had regained his Black Lantern powers and summoned an entire army of zombies. Unfortunately, the interference of the Guardians allowed Black Hand to defeat them, and now Hal and Sinestro are trapped in a dark realm with no hope of escape. Meanwhile, the Guardians have unleashed their Third Army, strange creatures made from Guardian flesh that have no free will and no emotions, and have one mission: eradicate all of the coloured Lantern Corps, starting with the Green Lanterns!

Sinestro and Hal joined their Green Lantern rings once again just before their imprisonment, and released the combined ring out into the world in order to seek out a new bearer. Simon Baz, wrongly imprisoned for terrorist activities, had the ring bestowed upon him, and used it to escape from custody.

Previously, in Green Lantern: The Guardians of the Universe have snapped, deciding that free will is the main source of chaos in the universe. As a result, they have decided that the Green Lantern Corps is obsolete, and needs to be replaced by their new Third Army, creatures created from Guardian flesh that replicate through touch, and possess no free will of their own.

Hal Jordan and Sinestro, two of the Green Lantern Corps who would have stood up to the Guardians’ insane plan, have been sucked into the Black Lantern ring of Black Hand, who himself has been imprisoned by the Guardians in the Chamber of Shadows, and Sinestro’s Green Lantern ring was sent out into the world in order to find a replacement Green Lantern.

Previously, in Green Lantern: The Green Lantern Corps has been deemed obsolete by the Guardians of the Universe, who have decided to remove them due to their reliance on emotions, and the interference of the other emotional Lantern Corps. The Guardians have proposed a brand new law enforcement agency for the universe, known so far only as the Third Army.

Meanwhile, Sinestro and Hal Jordan have found themselves in peril at the hands of Black Hand, the universe’s only Black Lantern. Black Hand is worried that Hal Jordan is attempting to usurp him as the keeper of the Book of the Black, which has recently undergone some drastic changes – namely, every page now reads that ‘Hal Jordan will be the greatest Black Lantern’!

It seems that one Justice League title wasn’t enough for Geoff Johns, as in 2013 he and artist David Finch will be launching Justice League of America.

Previously, in Green Lantern: After an escapade across the planet of the Indigo Tribe, Hal Jordan and Sinestro accidentally released the murderous Black Hand from the control of the Tribe. Hand killed himself and was resurrected by the power of the Black Lanterns once again, as he had been in the past as a precursor to the Blackest Night, a time of universal calamity.

Sinestro and Hal turned to the Book of the Black, the magical book full of prophecies that the Black Lanterns used during their last invasion. It transported them across the universe to Earth, where Black Hand had resurrected his family for his own twisted desires. Now Hal and Sinestro find themselves at the mercy of Black Hand, and he is out for revenge.

Previously, in Green Lantern: After being kidnapped by the Indigo Tribe, Hal Jordan and Sinestro found themselves trapped on their homeworld of Nok. They discovered the origins behind the enigmatic compassion-fueled Lanterns—they were all murderers that had been given the Indigo ring to teach them how to feel compassion for those they had wronged. Despite being freed from the ring’s influence after a misunderstanding with the creator of the rings, Natromo, those who had been part of the Tribe volunteered to re-don the rings since the rehabilitation process had been partially successful.

Meanwhile, Black Hand, who had been taken captive by the Indigo Tribe after the Blackest Night, was also freed from his Indigo ring and did not want to take it back. Diving off a cliff, Hand killed himself once again and was resurrected by a Black Lantern ring, as he had been once before.

Previously, in Green Lantern: The Indigo Tribe have been revealed as brainwashed killers, forcibly rehabilitated by Abin Sur before his death. Hal Jordan and Sinestro find themselves on Nok, the homeworld of the Indigo Tribe. Deep in the jungles of Nok, Hal discovered Natromo, an old friend of Abin Sur’s and one of the founders of the Indigo tribe.

When Hal told Natromo that the Blackest Night had taken place and that the heroes of the universe had prevailed, Natromo saw no reason for the Indigo tribe to continue their existence, and shut down the central power battery. This freed all of the Indigo tribe for the influence of their rings, including Hal’s old foe and the instigator of the Blackest Night, Black Hand!
