Hal
Jordan received his sentence for drunk driving - 90
days in a maximum security federal prison. Carol wished
him well. While being transported to prison, he overheard
a radio call about a bank robbery in progress. Green
Lantern escaped and took care of it. A hologram of
Hal Jordan was left in the truck.
The Guardians weighed the consequences of Legion's
attack - 7 Lanterns were dead, one was gained, and
Oa had been restored. They decided Sinestro would
be the best to train Jordan since Kilowog was out
recruiting. He was called to Oa, given his assignment,
and sent to Earth.
Jordan was suspected of murder when his cellmate ended
up with a knife in his back. He met with his case
worker, Guy Gardner. |

cellmate. |

Jordan
played it straight with his cellmate, "Gentleman"
Will. When he accidentally dumped part of his meal
on another inmate, Hal had to break up a fight. Guy
Gardner witnessed it. Sinestro continued to come for
him at night and show him the GL ropes. While he was
out, Willie overheard some of the inmates (who'd been
put in jail by Jordan) talking about taking his ring.
They saw him and cut him.
Sinestro took Jordan to his homeworld of Korugar after
he'd not received an acknowledgment from them in three
days. Jordan was astonished to see flags with his
face and the GL emblem everywhere. The citizens began
a revolt against Sinestro's tyranny. |

Sinestro
was hurt that his people were revolting against him
- he assumed they must be under some mind-control.
Jordan was appalled that he made them live to worship
him. Sinestro flipped out and Jordan tried to restrain
him. They fought. Sinestro regained control. He convinced
Jordan that the Guardians would misinterpret things
- his people would say that he forced them to put
up banners and worship him. The mind control would
be blamed on him.
Other GLs arrived on Korugar and were attacked.
The Guardians sent their Fists after the two "errant"
GLs. |

A
jailbreak was planned, but no one could find Hal to
steal his ring. Gardner spoke with Willie about him
- he'd been gone two days. He and Sinestro returned
to find the break out in full swing. Sinestro took
the guise of Willie. With Gardner as their hostage,
the would-be-escapees rampaged.
Hal gave up his ring to the leader so that Gardner
would be released; Sinestro got it back for him. Hal
had to stop Gardner from killing his former assailants.
The Guardians' Fists arrived to arrest Jordan and
Sinestro. |

Sinestro
fled with the Fists after him. Jordan, as Green Lantern,
stopped the jail break and got everyone back into
their cells. After a head-count, he was teleported
to Oa. He spoke and was questioned. They called a
resident of Korugar to the stand. Sinestro was found
guilty and was banished to the antimatter universe
of Qward. Katma, the leader of the revolt and witness
to Sinestro's ways, was awarded his ring and guardianship
of his sector.
Hal Jordan woke up in his cell and was soon released. |
