No
Evil Shall Escape My Sight!
Green Lantern was on his way to visit Green Arrow when
he stopped to break up a fight. Some teenagers were
attacking an older man outside an apartment building.
GA stopped him from doing too much damage and showed
him what was really going on - the old man was the building's
owner who refused to do any repairs on the place. He
was planning on destroying the building to put up a
parking lot. After being a bit shook up by what happened,
GL went to visit Jubal Slade, the landlord. He wouldn't
budge. When Jordan pulled his fist back to punch him,
he was called to Oa. There, he apologized for attacking
an innocent man and was given a 'busy' assignment.
While Hal was near Saturn diverting an asteroid collision,
GA visited Slade. He tried a protection racket on Slade's
men, and the scum fell for it. No money changed hands,
though, instead bullets. GA took down Slade's hitmen.
With GL back on earth, he and GA worked together to
take Slade down. With the local DA present, they faked
him in to confessing to attempted murder.
Green Arrow went off on the Guardians, who tried to
chastise their follower. After some deliberations, they
sent one of their own to travel with Queen and Jordan
as they journeyed across the country.
Journey
to Desolation
As their truck entered a mountain town called Desolation,
Green Arrow, Green Lantern, and the Guardian realized
their truck was being shot at. They were able to get
free and capture the shooters. When questioned, they
thought the truck carried hired guns coming to the town
to stop the townspeople. The wealthy man in charge there,
Slapper Soames, was going to hang one of their friends
the next day for trying to get everyone's moral up.
In actuality, they were hanging him because he had talent.
They feared he would leave town and bring others in
to see what was going on.
The townspeople prepared to raid Soames' fort and were
besieged with landmines. GL was infuriated and set off
all the mines so the attackers would not be hurt. While
doing so, he got a message from the Guardian - his brothers
had removed the ring's ability to save him from mortal
harm since he was not doing their bidding. Green Arrow
was captured; Green Lantern was dazed. He wandered into
the jail and found the doomed man about to shoot GA.
He used his ring to disable the man, and they took down
the rest of them, too. They learned the would-be-hanging
victim was working for Soames the whole time - they
were rallying up the men to squash their egos. GL and
GA made sure they were convicted before heading to their
next stop.
A
Kind of Loving, a Way of Death
In Washington State, Black Canary was knocked unconscious
and left for dead by a motorcycle gang called the Demons.
An unknown local found her and picked her up. Two weeks
later, the same group began making trouble at a local
diner where Oliver Queen and Hal Jordan were eating.
After a quick change of clothes, the heroes mopped them
up. Green Arrow recognized one of their motorcycles
as Black Canary's.
They found her safe, but she appeared to be under some
sort of hypnosis and refused to go with them. GA punched
his companion and snuck around the camp to find the
residents taking target practice. Their leader was planning
on killing any non-redskinned person. GA was seen and
shot. GL stopped the mob and disarmed them. Canary still
had her gun and was told to shoot her lover. She wavered
and dropped the pistol. Lantern used his ring to knock
the brainwasher away; his gun went off and killed him.
Canary regained her senses after the man was dead.
Ulysses
Star is still Alive
GA and GL got into yet another squabble after breaking
up a would-be shooting between some local land owners
and Indians. It seemed they once had an agreement over
the land, but all paperwork had been destroyed or lost.
Hal headed to the city and did some digging on the person
who may have the deed. He found the man in a burning
apartment building. He was able to save him, but the
documentation was ashes. Hal headed to DC to visit a
friend in Congress.
Back in town where GA and Black Canary were, the ghost
of Ulysses Star - the chief who'd owned the trees -
began haunting. GL and his congressman arrived just
in time - the Indians and white men were about to fight
over the land. GL could not do anything with his ring
against the ghost, so he pitched it away and went after
him hand to hand. After a struggle, he realized he was
fighting Oliver Queen.
The congressman vowed to stop all logging until the
land dispute was settled. The white land owners were
arrested for arson in the apartment building GL had
seen burn.
Even
and Immortal can Die
The travelers' truck crashed off a bridge avoiding another
vehicle. They were picked up by a barge carrying wastes
to be disposed of. A fire broke loose on the boat and
GL was badly injured. The Guardian took him to a nearby
hospital and GA and the crew dumped the flammable waste
into the water. The boat was saved, as was GL, but the
water was polluted.
The Guardian was summoned to Gallo, where he was to
be tried for his crimes against humanity for allowing
the waste to be dumped (he chose to save Hal rather
than save it). GA and GL accompanied him. Without so
much as a real trial, the Guardian was sentenced to
death. His company was to be held for a future trial
on contempt. In their cell, GL and GA met the real tribunal
- imprisoned by their head mechanic. They escaped and
saved the Guardian from his fate. With the real judges
reinstated, GL and GA returned to Earth while the Guardian
awaited his real trial.
Death
by my Destiny
Green Lantern, Green Arrow, and Black Canary were brought
to Oa to witness the trial of their companion. He was
found guilty and stripped of his immortality. On Maltus,
where he was sentenced to live his life, the heroes
found an overpopulated world so crammed they could not
even walk. Going through the archives, they learned
of a comet which had passed closely to their planet
leaving the inhabitants sterile. The entire race had
become clones, only to learn they were now able to conceive
children.
The group was able to find the lab which was turning
out the clones and open it up for the people to destroy.
Hal suggested they go back to Oa to appeal the Guardian's
conviction, but he declined - he felt he could do more
on Maltus in a decade than in a century as a Guardian.
GL dropped Oliver and Dinah off in Star City and returned
home.
How
do you Fight a Nightmare
Oliver brought Dinah flowers, and they were attacked
by winged women. He sent a message to Hal for help.
On his way their direction, Green Lantern ran into the
same beasts. They were being controlled by a woman calling
herself the Witch Queen. She imprisoned him in a jewel,
which appeared in Dinah's flower box. GA and Black Canary
headed out to see what was the hold up with GL.
As they checked out the florist Queen had bought the
flowers, the were attacked by Amazons in armor. After
Canary took two of them down, the third asked her to
join them with the Witch Queen. She and GA escaped and
found the Witch Queen and her brother, Sinestro. They
learned that only one man may inhabit the world which
they'd banished Green Lantern to, so Canary offered
to go bring him back. She saved him from Medusa and
they were sent back to Earth. Green Arrow had taken
care of Sinestro and his sister.
