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. |

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. |

| storyline |
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. |
