Absolute Green Lantern #1 is the debut issue of a cosmic horror reimagining of the Green Lantern mythos within DC's alternate Absolute Universe.

Core Synopsis & Premise

The tagline for the book asks a central question: “Without the Corps... without the ring... without the willpower, what's left is the Absolute Green Lantern!”

• The Setup: A massive, inscrutable alien entity named Abbinsu (a radical twist on Abin Sur) descends on a small town in Nevada called Evergreen, trapping its residents inside a massive green shield dome.
• The Cast: Inside the dome are ordinary citizens who are drastically different from their mainline counterparts—including Hal Jordan, John Stewart, Guy Gardner, and Jo Mullein.
• A New Continuity: Instead of an intergalactic police force, the mythos focuses on an alien consciousness space where four spectrum lights (black, red, green, yellow) represent varying levels of cosmic enlightenment.

Character Reincarnations

• Sojourner "Jo" Mullein: Takes center stage as the primary, fierce new Green Lantern of this reality.
• Hal Jordan: Operates as a haunted, tragic figure influenced by dark forces, serving as this universe's version of the Black Hand.
• Hector Hammond: Lurks in the background of the initial story arc as a sinister collector seeking space relics.
