NO PAST
NO FUTURE
Nearly two decades after the "cataclysm" destroyed the world as they knew it, life is still grim for the citizens of New Bedlam's Sector 5. While the wealthier areas can afford to recreate some normalcy with manufactured sunlight, the impoverished sectors spend day and night in darkness and haze.
But Beezer, one of Sector 5's countless young drug dealers, sometimes sees things through the gloom that others cannot. For brief flashes, he hallucinates the world as it once was: bright and clean and carefree. Like visual time travel, Beezer is blessed with the unique opportunity to witness a happier world. That is, until the anomalous visions attract the attention of the authorities, making Beezer a wanted man...

Green Lantern Vol. 1: Sinestro (HC)
Geoff Johns (W) Doug Mahnke, Christian Alamy (A)
THE GREATEST GREEN LANTERN IS BACK IN ACTION... AND HIS NAME IS SINESTRO!
Hal Jordan is a washed-out pilot, considered too unstable to be allowed into a plane. Now, Hal is being given the chance to soar once more by rejoining the intergalactic Green Lantern Corps, the most powerful peacekeepers in the cosmos.
There's just one catch.
This Green Lantern ring is coming from Sinestro, one of the greatest villains the universe has ever known and a controversial addition to the Corps, to say the least. If Hal accepts Sinestro's offer, it means accepting Sinestro's terms... and that means rescuing the rogue Lantern's home planet from the evil army of murderers that Sinestro himself assembled!
Will Hal Jordan make a deal with the devil for a chance at redemption? Will these two sworn enemies be able to work together with lives on the line, or will this unlikeliest of team-ups result in disaster for all involved?
