Recently discharged Marine sniper John Stewart is at a crossroads in his life, one which is only complicated by receiving an extraterrestrial Power Ring which grants him the powers of the Green Lantern of Earth! Unfortunately, the ring does not come with instructions. However, it does come with baggage, a horde of interplanetary killers bent on eliminating every Green Lantern in the universe. Now, with the dubious aid of the light-hearted Green Arrow, this reluctant soldier must journey into the heart of a galactic Rann/Thanagar war and somehow succeed where all other Green Lanterns have failed.
