Green Lantern Corps # 1 Second Printing 2011 NM-

Green Lantern Corps # 1, released on September 14, 2011, was a key launch title for DC's "New 52" universe-wide relaunch. It began a new chapter in the lives of the primary Green Lanterns, focusing on the human officers' struggle to maintain order in a chaotic universe. 

Core Storyline: "The Faithful" 

The issue establishes a universe in turmoil following a period of massive conflict (the War of theSintest Light and the Blackest Night). 

• A Divided Corps: The Green Lantern Corps, headquartered on Oa, is overstretched and undermanned. The Guardians of the Universe decide to split the Corps' jurisdiction, assigning sectors to different Lanterns.
• The Lead Characters: The narrative is shared between Guy Gardner and John Stewart, both of whom are struggling to handle the immense pressure and responsibility of their roles as Earth's primary protectors of galactic order.
• The Conflict: The issue introduces a new, aggressive alien race known as the Keepers who begin a coordinated campaign of violence against the Lanterns and the inhabitants of their sectors. This immediately plunges Guy and John into high-stakes conflicts, testing their resolve.
• Themes: The story explores the concepts of faith, loyalty, and the ability of two very different humans to work within a massive cosmic policing force when all odds are against them. 
• Writer: Peter J. Tomasi.
• Artist: Fernando Pasarin (pencils) and Scott Hanna (inks).
• Era: Part of DC's "New 52" initiative.
