10 Best Comic Book Moments Of 2018

10. The Ultraviolet Lanterns

The Green Lantern mythology has been ever-expanding ever since Geoff Johns reinvented the very core of the Corps and the emotional spectrum and the addition of new colors, including the red of anger, the white of life and the zombie-raising black. With the climactic end of Dark Nights: Metal, the destruction of the barrier of the known universe, the Source Wall, new unknowns are bleeding into the universe.

The first real show of this is in Justice League #2 when, while on a top secret mission for the Guardians, John Stewart is attacked by Sinestro, clad in the nostalgic purple and black costume. Scott Snyder, the famed writer of Batman, now pulls a Geoff Johns, changing the history of Sinestro. He has been in search for the Invisible Light Spectrum, and now has control of the untraviolet spectrum, allowing him to take control over minds to recruit people. His first recruit is John Stewart.

While coming out in April, it was a moment that adds much needed punch to the Green Lantern titles, and bring Sinestro back as a formidable foe rather than just the failing former leader of the Sinestro Corps.

Plus the new Lantern Oath is pretty awesome: "By shield of day and shield of night, We feed and grow, beyond all sight. Your darkest self shall be our knight, We wield the sword of unseen light!"
