This book acts as a companion to the Green lantern epic "The Sinestro Corps War", collecting short stories, one-shots and a bunch of fact sheets about the GL characters and universe.

Unfortunately, readership must have gone too, or the Knaufs went back to more profitable TV work. Whatever the reason for their run's end, they went out with a bang, crafting a spy thriller of high calibre and speed, as well as nodding to Iron Man's tradition by depriving him of his most recent… Read more
