A strange idea for a book, this one, mostly probably an excuse for another justice league story to keep some fans happy.
In the middle of the whole Hal Jordan hoo-hah, he comes back to help the JLA save the earth from one of those big bad menaces, knowing full well what he will become.
Mistrust and action follow.

It is not even near three books with death and return of Superman, but it has great ending. You don't have to know lot about DC history before events in this book. Three and half stars , maybe...

The Final Night is at very first one of your standard summer comic book crossover events. When a creature known as the Sun Eater extinguishes the Earth's sun, the entire planet begins dying. Superheroes who at very first take the apocalyptic threat lightly find that the Sun Eater is not so easily stopped and that they too seem doomed. This is in many ways a standard story designed to drum up sales by featuring as many superheroes as possible. Then Hal Jordan shows up, and the standard story changes.
Of all the Silver Age heroes, no one got a worse treatment than Hal Jordan in the 90s. Deemed too one-dimensional for modern readers, he went through a series of events that did lasting damage to his legacy as a hero. Superman's enemies destroyed his home city, driving Hal insane and causing him to destroy the Green Lantern Corps, giving up his role as Green Lantern and becoming the nigh-omnipotent Parallax in the process. In a few years, Hal went from being an iconic hero to a murderous villain. Writers intended him to come off as sympathetic and misunderstood, but he really came off as a murderer and a psychopath with a few whiny diatribes to justify his actions.
Halfway through Final Night, Hal's replacement as the Green Lantern, Kyle Rayner, seeks him out to help save the Earth. Hal knows from the beginning that he can destroy the Sun Eater, but that the process will likely kill him. He spends most of his on-panel time going through the shattered remains of his life, visiting friends that he left behind, his old lover Carol Ferris, and the grave of his best friend Oliver Queen as he comes to terms with what he must do. We know from the time he starts walking down memory lane that he will sacrifice himself in order to save the day. The story isn't about suspense; it's about one of the DC Universe's finest heroes coming full circle and giving up everything to save the world. This comic does what six years of DC writers failed to do: it makes Hal Jordan sympathetic again. It reinforces the fact that despite all the wrongs he has committed as Parallax, he is still a hero.
Of course, no one stays dead in DC Comics. Hal returned three years later when he became bonded with the Spirit of God's Vengeance in the Day of Judgment crossover. Then, in Green Lantern: Rebirth, he finally returned to life and took up the mantle of the Green Lantern again, bringing hope and light back into the DC Universe. Some might argue that these later stories weakens the impact of the Final Night; I don't agree with them. While we know now that Hal eventually comes back, the story here does not entertain the notion that he will ever return. Hal gives his life knowing that many people will remember him as a villain and a murderer. He gives everything to do the right thing, knowing that most people won't even know that he saved them. The weight of Hal's decision remains real in this story, regardless of whether or not he has returned since.

Those word will forever inspire all who reads this to give it all they got with no fear of personal consequences.
A being so powerful to block out the sun and starts to consumes it. None of earth (on eath, off, and even from different time)greatest superheroes could stop it. (Yes even Superman failed) Every means to stop or devert it falls to failure. And in the end, a once hero, now labeled by his peers, a supervillan is called by his succesor: Green Lantern (Kyle Rayner)to help.
This so-called supervillan is Hal Jordan going by the name of Parallax.
Bacially blacked balled by the world for the "Zero Hour" incident, he is face with the decision that would decide the future of not only earth but the entire galaxy if the Sun-Eater prevails. The story give you early hints his fate but it still hold you to every word. At the end he proves that he's still a hero, still the greatest Green Lantern as he recites that famous oath;
In Brightest Day, In Blackest Night..No evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil's might. Beware my power....
Green Lantern Light!!!!!
