It all ends here...until everything is re-written and returned to normal. Witness the end of Hal Jordan and debut of Kyle Rayner.

Dig Deeper into Hal Jordan

Hal Jordan was chosen to be Green Lantern 2814 by the dying alien, Abin Sur. Hal has since been widely considered the greatest Green Lantern. Recently however, Hal Jordan has been removed from the Corps, but wields a ring created by Sinestro.

I almost tried to touch it. Way to early in the mourning for me.

Hasn't Sinestro been killed before this issue? If memory serves he was sentenced to death by the GL Corps back in 1988...Volume 1 #222 right?

It's issues like these - monumental stuff happening, only to be made completely meaningless later by DC's clean-up specialist Geoff Johns... that make me really resentful of Johns these days.

@They Killed Cap!:
How much is it worth now in mint condition?

Oh how I miss Zero Hour.    
 
Loved those little Green Lantern subtitles G-Man.  Reminds me of O.M.D. from Spider-Man.   
 
It's funny if you think about it... DC has always been known to write stories like O.M.D. that changes the entire DC Universe landscape all the time, only to later re-write and retcon it back to normal as if nothing ever happened (i.e. anything with the words Crisis or Infinite in their storyline), and the fans (some if not most anyway) are okay with it... kind'a like they're used to it.
 
Marvel decides to pull that same little stunt on one Spider-Man character and... BAM!  The whole world criticizes them!  Heck, I did too!  But I'm also not a fan of DC's Infinite Crisis books either.

Cool.

This garage stuff gets better every week.  Great job and effort.  I do not have that comic, but I bet back in the day it was a great one.
GreenLantern555on Sept. 8, 2010 at 11:19 a.m.
This is SOOO crazy...I JUST picked that up today after it has been sitting under my bed because I wanted to read it. I got on here and there is a review for it. I'm creeped out...

@G-Man: You are not giving away your issue? Not even for a gajillion dollars?
thechessclubon Sept. 8, 2010 at 1:38 p.m.
Have it and love it! The issue just before is my fav of all time tho. Even have it CG graded=] I have like 4 copies of the entire story arc. Hal Jordan pre-Rebirth is my favorite character of all time though so that isn't an extreme number imo...
