Green Lantern Hal Jordan Just Got a Major Power Battery Upgrade

Hal Jordan just managed to pull a big one over on the Blackstars and contain the threat of Controller Mu, and to kick off Green Lantern Season 2 he is being rewarded for his efforts with an upgrade. In the new preview of today's issue from DC, the Guardians honor Jordan with a ceremony to celebrate his achievements, but as they reveal he has already earned every commendation they have to give to a Lantern. Jordan is humble about the whole thing, but they reveal that while they don't have a medal to give him, they do have another trick up their sleeves, and give him an upgraded Power Battery to charge his ring, and it's got an upgrade or two along with a slick redesign.

While the preview doesn't reveal what those upgrades are, the Guardians do tease that Jordan will find "the upgrades interesting", and we can't wait to see what he does with the power boost. He already wields one of the most powerful weapons in the universe, so any boost will be significant.

You can check out the full preview and the new Power Battery starting on the next slide.
