2008-09-24 13:36 When Green Lantern Hal Jordan amassed an enormous amount of power in order to fix a terrible tragedy, he became the destructive being known as Parallax — and ultimately lost everything. Now the current Green Lantern, Kyle Rayner, is noticing a power expansion. Can anyone handle such unlimited power without losing his humanity?
This graphic novel collects GREEN LANTERN #142-150. Written by Judd Winick, with art by Dale Eaglesham, Eric Battle, Brandon Badeaux, Jamal Igle, Pat Quinn, and others, with a new cover by Ariel Olivetti, this volume finds Kyle battling his evil opposite, Oblivion. When the hero expends all the energy from his Power Ring to stop his foe, he sheds his GL identity and transforms into something new and more powerful — an identity he calls Ion.
Now, as a near-omnipotent being, Ion's actions save countless lives on Earth and throughout the galaxy. But his friends fear for him — after all, great power can hurt just as easily as it can help. Undoubtedly one of the greatest personal challenges Green Lantern ever endures, THE POWER OF ION has forever changed Kyle Rayner's perception of heroism!
