Green Lantern by Ron Marz — Part Five (featuring "Emerald Knights")

from The Iron Age of Comics · host Justin Zyduck and Jim Cannon

Concluding (for now) our look at the saga of Kyle Rayner, the last of the Green Lantern Corps (for the ‘90s, at least). Just when Kyle finally thinks he’s proved himself for all time as a worthy owner of the power ring, his future comes into question when a trip to the 30th century reveals the Legion of Super-Heroes have no record of his career as Green Lantern. His position isn’t much more secure in the 20th century after he picks up an unplanned stowaway on his travels through time: a novice Hal Jordan. By the time Parallax shows up, all our emerald gladiators have to confront their legacies for better or for worse. As we wrap up, we’ll also talk about the real-world legacy of the character and comic in the wake of Hal Jordan’s more permanent return in Geoff Johns’ Green Lantern: Rebirth.Discussed in this episode: Green Lantern #95-106, plus crossover issues of Green Arrow and The Flash.We could use a little green ourselves!
