The Inheritance!

Story Featuring Green Lantern

Storyline

Krista is ready to resign her Green Lantern position, when the Guardians give her a reflective stone of memories, in which she sees the main story. Meanwhile, the Guardians tell Hal Jordan that his psychodrama is over and he can return to his duties. In the main story, Lodar Monak is killed while battling Z'Nang forces attacking his planet, and passes his ring to his son, Meeno. But Meeno has no training and nearly destroys the planet of Z'nang, dying himself when saving it at the last minute after the Guardians intervene. The Guardians pass his ring to a rebel on Z'nang.
