Stories

Sinestro Corps, Prologue: The Second Rebirth · 47 pages
Green Lantern Hal Jordan enlists the Justice League of America to help him try to track down Sinestro through his recent associates in the Secret Society, but they are unsuccessful. Meanwhile, on Oa, the Guardians of the Universe consider the problem of Hank Henshaw's knowledge of the inter-connectedness of the 52 universes and a prophecy that involves him. After Hal Jordan arrives on Oa, a yellow power ring invades Green Lantern Corps headquarters and Kyle Rayner is transported to the antimatter universe where he faces Sinestro and the Sinestro Corps. Back on Oa, a contingent of the Sinestro Corps attacks, and frees Superboy of Earth-Prime and Hank Henshaw. At the same time, Sinestro pulls the power of Ion out of Kyle Rayner and reveals that a member of his Corps is responsible for the death of Kyle's mother, which leaves Kyle vulnerable to the possession of Parallax. Sinestro presents Kyle as the final herald, along with Hank Henshaw and Superboy-Prime, to his master...The Anti-Monitor.
The Greatest Once, the Greatest Again · 7 pages
Lyssa Drak tells the story of Sinestro's first encounter with Hal Jordan from Sinestro's point of view: how Sinestro mentored Hal, then was exiled to the antimatter universe when Jordan accused Sinestro of bringing peace to Korugar through his own oppressive rule, and there forged his own ring.

Publisher’s description

Hal Jordan has struggled to regain his reputation. Kyle Rayner has suffered great personal loss and reluctantly gained great power. Guy Gardner's trust in the Guardians is wavering. John Stewart's unbreakable loyalty soon will be tested. Together, these four men are the Green Lanterns of Earth; but why are so many Earthmen recruited into the Corps? What is their ultimate role in the future of the universe? And how will the secret of the rings' power threaten the Guardians and affect Hal Jordan's future? Sinestro was called the "greatest" of the Green Lanterns; now the renegade has vowed to bring terror to the universe he once protected. The worst murderers, thieves and deviants in the universe have gathered into Sinestro's Corps for one purpose: to instill great fear. Armed with the truth behind Parallax, Sinestro's intergalactic insurgents strike hard and fast at the very heart of the Green Lantern Corps. The Sinestro Corps is about to change everything you know about the Green Lanterns. Fear them. Everyone else will.
