Attention readers: exciting preview content for Green Lantern #18 is here! This upcoming issue uncovers a stunning twist regarding the Source Lantern that could dramatically affect the future for Green Lantern and his comrades. The Green Lantern Corps is embroiled in conflict owing to the reckless decisions made by its commander, Lord Premier Thaaros. However, amidst this turmoil, a significant secret emerges that may bode well for Green Lantern’s prospects.
In the preview of Green Lantern #18, crafted by Jeremy Adams and Xermánico, Thaaros finds himself under the corrupting influence of the Dark Star Ring. He has summoned his Shadow Lanterns with the ominous intent to obliterate Oa and dismantle the original Green Lantern Corps for good.
As Hal Jordan and his fellow Green Lanterns battle for survival, a villain named Varron has infiltrated the Source Lantern, unveiling a remarkable truth. The Source Lantern is currently being utilized to extract energy from the Emotional Spectrum, facilitating the healing of the Corps’ former leaders, the Guardians of the Universe. However, Varron has dangerous intentions to usurp that energy for himself.
The Healing of the Guardians Through the Source Lantern
Unraveling a Long-Standing Green Lantern Mystery
In the aftermath of the Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths, the Guardians of the Universe seemingly vanished, leading to the Green Lantern Corps being placed under the control of the United Planets, with Thaaros at the helm. However, it soon became evident that Thaaros aimed to exploit the Corps as a mere personal militia, employing new Lanterns to decimate rival factions within the Emotional Spectrum. His ambitions included seizing the power of the Source Lantern, yet he could never penetrate its defenses, despite his best efforts.
The current narrative arc has been filled with enigmas, but one of the most pressing questions concerns the whereabouts of the Guardians. Surprisingly, they have remained on Oa, recuperating from Koyos’ assault on the Corps in the earlier Green Lantern storylines. The Source Lantern, upgraded by John Stewart, has unintentionally transformed into a healing chamber, channeling energy from the Emotional Spectrum to restore the Guardians. Although this information arrives at a precarious time, it heralds a hopeful future for the Green Lantern Corps.

Restoring What Thaaros Has Shattered
Thaaros’ relentless quest for dominance has brought the Corps to the precipice of collapse. Although there remain valiant Green Lanterns, the Corps itself urgently needs rejuvenation. Fortunately, Hal Jordan has recently unearthed a new Central Power Battery left behind by the Guardians on Earth as a safety net. With the Guardians now restored, Jordan and his allies can venture to rebuild the Corps right here on Earth. While not an ideal scenario, it ensures that the Green Lantern Corps will operate under the guidance of those genuinely committed to its welfare.
Green Lantern #18 is set to be released by DC Comics on December 11th.
