Hal Jordan, John Stewart, Arisia, Katma Tui, Ch’p, Salakk, and Kilowog set up shop on a post-Crisis Earth in the newly rebranded Green Lantern Corps series by Steve Englehart and Joe Stanton.
DC Finest: Green Lantern: Setting Up Shop includes stories from Green Lantern Corps #201-219, Tales of the Green Lantern Corps Annual #2 and 3, Secret Origins #7, and Action Comics #589.
In addition to the start of Englehart and Stanton run, the collection also includes work by Alan Moore, John Byrne, Ian Gibson, Ernie Colon, Mark Farmer, Bill Willingham, Robert Campanella, Rodin Rodriguez, and Dick Giordano.
The DC Finest Collection includes two anthology stories by Moore featuring Abin Sur’s visit to the prison planet Ysmault, where he encounters a prophecy about “The Blackest Night” that foretells the fall of the Guardians and the rise of the Sinestro Corps and a story about a blind Lantern who rewrites her oath due to the fact that she can not comprehend colors.
Other highlights include the GL Corps reforming after the Crisis on Infinite Earths and the departure of the Guardians (for now) and getting themselves involved in international political disputes, interstellar invasions, and disputes with Dr. Polaris, Sonar, Dr. Ub’x, Baron Tirano, Black Hand, Rocket Red, Star Sapphire, Hector Hammond, and the biggest villain in the Green Lantern universe, Sinestro. Guy Gardner also causes all sorts of trouble for the new Corps as the rogue Green Lantern both battles the group and creates a number of messes that they need to clean up.
DC Finest: Green Lantern: Setting Up Shop consists of 592 pages for the suggested retail price of $39.99.
