Green Lantern: Blackstars #1 (2020) establishes a new cosmic order after Controller Mu rewrote the universe, with Hal Jordan serving as a Blackstar enforcer under Mu's control alongside Countess Belzebeth, all under the shadow of the demoted Empire of Tears. No Green Lanterns patrol their sectors, and a new, fearsome galactic law is enforced, with the Blackstars setting their sights on threats like Ysmault and Mongul, and eventually, Earth. The issue focuses on setting up this new, reality-altering status quo following the events of The Green Lantern #12.
Key Details
Premise:The universe has been taken over by Controller Mu's Blackstars, who are imposing peace through strict control, replacing the Green Lantern Corps.
Hal Jordan:Now a Blackstar and a "Blackstar Parallax," Hal Jordan serves Controller Mu, enforcing his vision of peace.
Controller Mu:The leader of the Blackstars, Mu is presented as a figure seeking universal peace through absolute control, though not through fear like Sinestro.
Threats:The Blackstars' immediate targets include the demons of Ysmault and the tyrant Mongul.
The Future:The story sets up the Blackstars' eventual arrival on Earth.
