The time of the Lanterns is ending as the New Gods make a dramatic,universe-altering entrance. A year ago, Kyle Rayner, the White Lantern, breachedthe Source Wall at the edge of the universe, killing himself to save creationand inadvertently tapping into the Life Equation. Highfather of the New Gods hasbecome convinced that the Equation can be accessed by combining the colors ofthe emotional spectrum through the rings of the universe\'s Lantern Corps. Fearing the ring bearers too unevolved to wield power that they do not fullyunderstand, Highfather decrees that all who wield a Power Ring must relinquishit to the New Gods. With the fate of every living creature across infiniteworlds in the balance, there is no time for peaceful resolution or the folly ofmortals. The Lanterns will willingly give up their rings-or die.
