Before dying, Abin's ring chooses Hal as his successor, transporting him to Oa. Hal discovers Earth is but a tiny part of an enormous intergalactic civilization protected by the Green Lantern Corps, who enforce the laws of the Guardians of the Universe. Hal struggles to accept this new reality, learning that the ring chooses those capable of overcoming fear rather than the fearless.He trains under Sinestro, the Corps' greatest warrior and Abin Sur's former partner. Sinestro sees Hal as undisciplined but recognizes his inner courage. Their bond grows into a genuine friendship through training and dangerous missions.
