Acclaimed author Lilliam Rivera and artist Steph C. reimagine one of DC's greatest Green
Lanterns Jessica Cruz to tell a story about immigration family and overcoming fear to
inspire hope. Jessica Cruz has done everything right. She's a dedicated student popular among
her classmates and has a loving family that has done everything they can to give her a better
life in the United States. While Jessica is a part of the Deferred Action for Childhood
Arrivals program allowing her to go to school and live in the U.S. her parents are
undocumented. Jessica usually worries for her parents but her fears and anxiety escalate as a
mayoral candidate with a strong anti-immigration stance runs for office. As the xenophobia in
Coast City increases Jessica begins to debate whether it's worth renewing her status to stay
in the U.S. or if her family would be safer and better off moving back to Mexico. And despite
her attempts to lean on her friends and family she finds herself constantly visited by visions
of Aztec gods one pulling her towards hope and the other towards anger. But when her father is
detained by I.C.E. Jessica finds herself being pulled into an abyss of fear. With her father
gone and feeling helpless Jessica must find her way out of her fears and ultimately become a
voice for her community.
