Hal Jordan returns in the story that rebuilt a legend in this DC Compact Comics Edition.

One of DC’s greatest heroes returns.

But rebuilding his life, repairing damaged relationships, and earning the trust of fellow heroes may prove more difficult than mastering the power of the ring itself.

Written by Geoff Johns and illustrated by Ethan Van Sciver, Green Lantern: Rebirth reintroduces Hal Jordan and lays the foundation for one of DC’s most acclaimed modern superhero sagas. Combining cosmic adventure, mystery, action, and redemption, these stories transformed Green Lantern into one of the publisher’s flagship franchises.

The Trillion Dollar Kid #1 will feature first appearances of brand-new characters and kick off a massive new chapter in the popular Ghost Machine line of comics.

Last month’s Rocketfellers #0 and Hornsby & Halo #0 served as prologues to this crossover event—as well as standalone entry points designed to welcome new readers to the growing Unbelievables Universe—and fans are advised to pick up copies from their local comic shop in anticipation of this thrilling kickoff event to the four part “Who Are…The Unbelievables?” story in The Trillion Dollar Kid.

The Trillion Dollar Kid #1 is Part One, with Hornsby & Halo #14 (on sale Wednesday, June 24) serving up Part Two, The Rocketfellers #13 (on sale Wednesday, July 22) adds Part Three, and the grand finale to the crossover drops in The Trillion Dollar Kid #2 (on sale Wednesday, August 12).

Who are the Unbelievables? That’s what Tommy Townsend III—the world’s first 13-year-old trillionaire—wants to know! Because finding them holds the key to the one thing money can’t buy him! His world abounds with wonder and spectacle, including a robot bodyguard named Sterling, all trying to make the world a better place. But Tommy learns quickly that money can’t buy everything…and propels himself on a journey that sets the stage for this entire new universe!

It’s 1909, and Simon Pure has long hoped that his fellow immortal nemesis Benedict Arnold drifted out to sea and turned to ash when they last tangled in 1892.

The truth is, Arnold has changed… just in ways Simon would never expect.
