This is it. Geoff Johns epic conclusion of 9 years in the making (10 if you count Johns setting up Hal's return) and it has left a large mark in the modern age for comic fans and old Green Lantern fans like myself. Everything has been building up to this moment where Johns finally gives it everything he's got and ties up just about (not all of them, but most) all of his massive work he's done on GL since he started into this final volume that is fitting for the title, "The End". For Johns doesn't also end his tenure with Hal Jordan, but also, what possibly might be the end of GL when the day the comic ceases to exist. Does Johns nail the landing? He nails it, but he comes in rough. *I'll keep it spoiler free and And the "Wrath of the First Lantern" arc, I will not cover it for this volume, but I will cover it for the First Lantern book when it comes out next year*.
GREEN LANTERN VOLUME 3: THE END collects issues #0, and #13 - #20. After the end of Green Lantern Vol. 2: The Revenge of Black Hand (The New 52) (Green Lantern (Graphic Novels)), it appears Hal and Sinestro have disappeared and a new earth lantern, Simon Baz, has been chosen to take up Sinestro's ring. Baz is a Lebanese-American who just stole a car with a bomb in and gets blamed for it. Now on the run from the law, the Justice League, trying to help his family, trying to figure out his new powers, AND running away from the growing threat of the universe the Third Army, Baz might be the factor to helping Hal and Sinestro. And of course, The First Lantern, finally starts making some serious threats and power that could destroy the universe as well.
This volume of Green Lantern brings to an end a nearly ten-year run of stories written by Geoff Johns, one of the star writers at DC Comics. The story follows from the last volume, where Green Lanterns Hal Jordan and Sinestro have been sucked into Black Lantern's ring, where they inhabit the Dead Zone. Most everyone there is really dead. They still have a bit of living in them, so there's a chance for them to escape.
Meanwhile Jordan's power ring thinks he is dead because it flies off in search of a new Green Lantern. It finds Simon Baz, an Arab-American who has been accused of a terrorist act and is currently being interrogated by the US government. He stole a van (part of a career of car theft) to help out his sister and nephew. Baz discovers the van has a bomb inside so he decides to drive somewhere unpopulated--the car manufacturing plant that shut down and left him unemployed. Naturally the Feds think he has a vendetta against the company and start using tougher techniques to get information from him about other terrorists he knows. His resistance, i.e. the ability to overcome great fear, makes him a prime candidate for a Green Lantern ring. So it breaks into his jail cell and he breaks out.
Baz is thrown into a chaotic universe. The Guardians have unleashed a Third Army to remove free will from the universe, one sentient being at a time. So he's on the run even as a Green Lantern. Can he get Hal Jordan and Sinestro out of the Black Lantern ring? Can he sort out his own life and convince the Feds he's innocent? Will the Green Lanterns be able to stop the Third Army?
The story does have an epic feel to it and it is a great ending to Geoff Johns's run on the Green Lantern. He's able to wrap up a lot of different story lines and character arcs.
