"Parallax is not Hal Jordan, and never was. Parallax is the yellow impurity in the Central Power Battery. When Sinestro was imprisoned inside the Battery, he made contact with it - able to since his ring was based on the same yellow energy. On the concentrated power of fear. Sinestro gave the yellow impurity back its sentience. (The Guardians removed it when they placed it inside the Battery millions of years ago). Sinestro manipulated Parallax, and used Parallax to corrupt Jordan and lure him to the Battery."
If reading that makes your head hurt then this comic is probably not the one for you (unless that if you like migraines). If however you want to jump into the Geoff John's rebooting of the Green Lantern legend (which is the whole big run-up to Blackest Night) then this is the right place to start (provided you've already covered the preliminaries in Green Lantern: Secret Origins - in which case this is the right place to start - right after you've read that).
For any DC newbies brave enough - it's all a little confusing to be sure - but there's just enough explanations between the superhero craziness for you to understand about half of what's going on. And: if you're reading them in order - enough to take you to the next exciting installment.
