Green Lantern: First Flight Page #3

We pick up the trash.

A thief here, a killer there.

Scum, dirt, filth!

There's no end to it,

but there could be.

It's my dream that one day

all this rot will be wiped away.

A new order will prevail,

one that will end the chaos...

...but it won't be built

by the faint of heart.

You got soft on me back there,

Earth boy, and that I will not tolerate.

Everything okay?

We heard there was a disturbance.

We're fine.

Hey, you got Cuchie.

Don't he look peaceful.

I'm taking him to the nearest substation.

I want everyone with me.

- You all right?

- Yeah.

Swell.

Ugh.

Mind if I join you?

Might hurt your reputation.

Give them time.

You have to understand...

...Abin Sur, everyone loved him.

He had family, friends.

He was irreplaceable.

Any news on Cuch?

- They took him to interrogation.

- Who's asking the questions?

Who do you think?

- Ouch.

- I know. Sinestro can be difficult.

All right, he can be pretty damn arrogant.

Some of us are starting to worry about him,

but he's under a lot of pressure.

- Yeah, saving the universe or something.

- That's right.

Cuch is just a bit player.

The one we're really after

is his boss, Kanjar Ro.

He's just a warlord.

Not anymore.

- Not since he found the yellow element.

- Should I be taking notes?

This story goes back as far

as time itself...

...when the only sentient beings

were the Guardians.

They built the lantern battery...

...long before the creation

of the Corps.

The battery would power all the rings

with the green element...

...the greatest energy source

in the universe.

Where it comes from

only the Guardians know.

But once it was installed,

the Guardians had the ultimate weapon...

...to maintain peace and promote justice

in the galaxies.

Unfortunately, the battery

had one vulnerability, the color yellow.

It's one part of the light spectrum

that can resist the green...

...and the most concentrated source

of yellow energy...

...is the yellow element.

For eons, the Guardians had it hidden

underground in another dimension...

...until Kanjar Ro found out.

When the Guardians

discovered the theft...

...they called for an emergency meeting

with the senior Lanterns.

Abin Sur offered to go undercover.

Within days, he had infiltrated

Ro's ship...

...but there was no sign

of the yellow element.

Kanjar Ro had taken it somewhere.

Abin Sur was about to report back

to the Guardians when he was found out.

That's the way I heard it.

From there,

Abin Sur made his way to Earth.

- And now you're here.

- Jeez.

- You captured Cuch by yourself.

- He tell you that?

No. I was in your head.

Interesting.

As you know, Kanjar Ro

was forced to abandon his ship...
