In the wake of distancing himself from the Green Lantern Corps, the once-teeming circle of comrades around Hal Jordan has dwindled. With Earth’s Corps members dispersed and the Justice League disbanded, Jordan has been carving out his path solo. But with the arrival of Green Lantern #9 crafted by Jeremy Adams and Xermanico, fans will witness the heartwarming resurgence of Hal’s camaraderie with one of his dearest allies from the past.
Early issues of Green Lantern depicted Jordan delving into anomalies within the emotional spectrum, the source of the Lanterns’ might. This journey led him to Madame Xanadu’s divinations and guided him to a Galician cavern where he stumbles upon his former ally, Tom Kalmaku.
The peek into Green Lantern #9, showcasing the cover and initial pages, is available for viewing below.
Unveiling the Essence of Green Lantern’s Tom Kalmaku
Marking his entrance in the 1960’s Green Lantern #2, Tom Kalmaku has been a fixture since the inception of Hal Jordan’s journey. A mechanic at Ferris Air, Kalmaku was privy to Jordan’s flight tests, later becoming the confidant of his superhero exploits.
Kalmaku, akin to a Doctor Watson to Jordan’s Sherlock Holmes, chronicled Jordan’s escapades and was instrumental in saving the hero in critical moments. The Guardians saw such merit in him that they extended the offer of a Power Ring, which he humbly declined.
Kalmaku, the heart of the New Guardians and recipient of the gift to coax humanity’s best, turned down the Guardians’ power once more, putting family first. Yet his legacy continued, notably in rebuilding the planet Oa in Green Lantern Legacy: The Last Will & Testament of Hal Jordan. Green Lantern #9 teases yet another momentous occasion for Kalmaku’s journey.
