Synopsis for Green Lantern: "Assault on a Green"

Hal Jordan checks on Arisia at her sublet, who's still angry at Hal for how he snapped at her during the science expo. Hal apologizes, but his words fall on deaf ears, as she ignores him. Hal then flies to the police headquarters, where a policeman shows him the prison records of the two men who attacked the fair, and Green Lantern learns that they are cataloged as "deceased" after an accident at a factory owned by Hawkes Industries. Green Lantern exits the police station, planning to check on Hawkes. However, he gets ambushed by the Freak Show again, and they overpower him with their combined powers. In the end, the one called Stasis captures and immobilizes Green Lantern in a force field.
