Adventure awaits Hal Jordan...if he survives! Gabriel Hardman and Corinna Bechko's Earth One original graphic novel is available in softcover for the first time.

Hal Jordan yearns for the thrill of discovery, but the days when astronaut and adventure were synonymous are long gone. His gig prospecting asteroids for Ferris Galactic is less than fulfilling—but at least he’s not on Earth, where technology and culture have stagnated. When Jordan finds a powerful ring, he also finds a destiny to live up to. There are worlds beyond his own, unlike anything he ever imagined.

But revelation comes with a price: the Green Lantern Corps has fallen, wiped out by ruthless killing machines known as Manhunters. The odds against reinstating the Corps are nearly impossible…but doing the impossible is exactly what Hal Jordan was trained for!

In this installment of the hit Earth One original graphic novel line, creators Gabriel Hardman and Corinna Bechko (Invisible Republic, Star Wars: Legacy) reimagine Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps in this modern sci-fi epic.
Gabriel Hardman is the co-writer and artist of the Hugo nominated sci-fi series Invisible Republic as well as writer/artist of Kinski and The Belfry published by Image Comics. He also co-wrote Star Wars: Legacy, Planet of The Apes, Savage Hulk, and Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman with Corinna Bechko. He has drawn Hulk, Secret Avengers and Agents of Atlas as well as the OGN Heathentown. Hardman is an accomplished storyboard artist having worked on movies such as Logan, Interstellar, Inception and Tropic Thunder. He lives with his wife, writer Corinna Bechko, in Los Angeles.
