THE BEST BOOK CLUB IN THE MULTIVERSE!


Join the Book Club Bois as they near the end of the Geoff Johns GREEN LANTERN SAGA!


Thaal Sinestro. Hal Jordan. These two men have been intertwined for years as allies, then adversaries. But now they hold the same title: Green Lantern. They will need to work together as mysterious forces gather to take control of the universe and destroy the Green Lantern Corps from the inside. They will be tested by faces new and old, and their journey will take them to the hidden home of the Indigo Tribe - where the disturbing secrets of their inception will threaten to tear this new partnership apart before their enemies do. Elsewhere, we finally answer the question… What is the THIRD ARMY?
