Green Lantern #15, by DC Comics on 9/11/24, sends Hal Jordan and Wally West on a reckless mission to steal valuable intel from Amanda Waller, ending in a desperate race to re-power Hal’s ring.
Is Green Lantern #15 Good?
Well, Green Lantern continues to be one of the better (best?) tie-ins to Absolute Power because writer Jeremey Adams meaningfully uses Hal Jordan to contribute to the Absolute Power event and furthers the main Green Lantern series in one fell swoop. In effect, you get two stories for the price of one and have a ball reading it.
When last we left Hal Jordan in Green Lantern #14, Hal escaped imprisonment and torture at the hands of Amanda Waller’s goons within the Gamorra Island prison. Hal lucked into finding the stored cache of weapons Waller’s forces confiscated from every hero and villain now held in prison. When Jadestone tried to capture Hal, the latter accidentally found himself in possession of Abra Kadabra’s magic wand, which teleported him and a large chunk of the cache to Themyscira.
In Green Lantern #15, we begin after the events of Absolute Power #3. Hal Jordan and Wally West ride a jet bike to a secluded island where Batman has one of several secret research stations around the globe. Hal knows the place because this particular island houses the Batwolf – a prototype Batjet Hal helped test pilot before Batman scrapped the project due to bugs. The Earth’s greatest test pilot needs a ride.
Jeremy Adams starts the issue with fast-paced action and tons of personality as Hal reminds readers why he has his reputation as a fearless test pilot. What better way to show that fearlessness than taking a test plane out for a dangerous mission, knowing the plane is prone to go BOOM!
Elsewhere, Carol Ferris swoops in to assist Dove with civilians injured in a car wreck. Carol explains she has a better appreciation for what it means to be a hero after watching the JSA in the Tower of Fate. When the two fly off for the Tower, Dove is suddenly struck by overwhelming feelings of regret and hopelessness. Nate has arrived as the galaxy’s first Grey Lantern with the power of sadness. Carol fights Nate to a stalemate with the Star Sapphire’s power of Love, giving her and Dove a chance to escape.
