Hal is trying to run things on Oa in the absence of the new Guardians, who are off at the edge of known space. He finds the new recruits the power rings have brought in to be less than ideal, but another problem takes precedence: the escape of a female prisoner, Prixiam, who has killed a young Green Lantern on her way out. Hal tracks Prixiam and attempts to bring her in, only to find she has the ring and powers of a Star Sapphire. And Prixiam’s case seems more complex than he expected.

Pretty good story by Robert Venditti, nice art by Billy Tan and Rob Hunter. Recommended.
