Green Lantern Page #6

But we're worth saving.

This new weapon of yours,

you can't use it.

Once you cross that line, once you've given in

to fear, you'll never go back. I've seen it.

Look, I know right now you're afraid.

You dare accuse the Guardians

of feeling fear?

Yes, I do.

That's exactly why Parallax

is beating you...

...because you're afraid

to even admit you're afraid.

I know.

I spent my entire life doing it.

You know, we have a saying on Earth.

We say, "I'm only human."

We say it because we're vulnerable,

we say it because we know we're afraid.

It doesn't mean we're weak.

Help me save my planet.

Don't give in to fear.

Fight it. Fight it with me.

Your words are compelling, young human.

But as immortals, we must measure

our actions over billions of years...

...and the fate of the universe.

We simply cannot risk losing everything

on the chance you might be right.

Then don't. Don't risk any more lives.

Just mine.

Let me go fight for my world...

...and I'll show you

that will is stronger than fear.

There is no way you can succeed.

You will die, Hal Jordan.

Then I'll die trying.

Good luck, Green Lantern.

I wouldn't do that.

Look closely.

She's beautiful, isn't she?

I loved her from the moment

I first saw her.

But she could never see me,

as you were always standing in the way.

But not anymore.

No! No! Don't! Don't do this, Hector.

Please.

I know how you feel.

Come on, look at yourself!

No, I know what it's like...

...to not live up to expectations...

...to feel like nothing that you do

will ever be good enough.

I know what it's like to be afraid.

Let me help you.

Hal. You've changed.

How wonderful that all it took for you

to grow up was the end of the world.

Now it's my turn.

And if I can't be like you,

I'm gonna make her like me.

And let's face it, once she's like me...

...then you wouldn't be very interested.

Hmm? Now, would you?

- Why can't you?

- Hmm?

Why can't you be like me?

Heh. Huh?

Let her go...

...and you can have it.

You can do anything.

Be anything.

Take it.

Let her make the choice.

Okay.

Wow.

Now bring her down.

Hal.

I lied.

I lied too.

See, the way it works is...

...you have to be chosen.

You have failed me.

Stay here.

No problem.

Your will is strong,

but not strong enough.

You are nothing without the ring.

You must move out of the area now.

Please clear the streets.

Clear the streets immediately.

You can never beat this. You'll die.

At least I can get it away from here.

- How do you think you're gonna do that?

- I don't know. I don't know.

Maybe I can outthink it or...

The dogfight, remember?

Those were a couple of jets.

Unbeatable jets.

The ring chose me for a reason.

This is why.

- Look, I'm probably not...

- Please don't. No.

Hey.

This is a mandatory evacuation.

Everyone must clear the streets

immediately.

Police emergency,

everyone must clear the street now.

Everybody off now! Now!

Go! Go!

Run!

- Run!

- Aah! Aah!

I feel your fear growing.

You will be dead soon.

In brightest day, in blackest night...

And when you're gone,

I'll destroy everything you ever loved.

...No evil shall escape my sight.

Your family, your home,

your planet will be no more.

Let those who worship evil's might...

The entire human race will be wiped out

because you, Hal Jordan...

...were afraid.

...Beware my power:

Green Lantern's light!

The bigger you are, the faster you burn.

Though his time

wearing the ring has been brief...

...Hal Jordan's defeat of Parallax will be

remembered as long as the Corps exists.

His actions are a reminder

of why the ring chose each of us.

To overcome fear...

...and destroy evil wherever it may hide.

As Lanterns,

we must fight with all our will.

Our wills haven't always been united.

It's time they were.

- Ha-ha-ha.

- Can I train them or can I train them?

You're impertinent, Hal Jordan.

You're rash, volatile, opinionated.

It seems Abin Sur found another

just like himself.

Wow, I am never getting used to that.

My new job requires that I travel.

Be away for a while.

Away, never gone.

Hal.

Yeah?

Can you take off the mask?

That's really cool. Ha, ha.

So, what happens now?

I'm gonna go look for trouble.

Of all the Lanterns

who have ever worn the ring...

...there was one

whose light shined brightest.

At first, his humanity

was thought to be a weakness.

And yet it proved to be

his greatest strength.
