The City Enduring has exploded into chaos and with only 20% of her ring’s power remaining Sojourner Mullein is called into action to save the day. Denied their ability to vote, the @ are rebelling. Councilman Marth has staged a coup. And @BlazeofGlory has usurped power from the usurpers and is attempting to gain control of the city. Oh, there are also the bombs placed around the city by the Council to prevent something like this from happening, which have no started to go off, and the fleet of warships that just showed up.

The focus of Far Sector #9 stays firmly on Green Lantern Sojourner Mullein‘s current assignment in the City Enduring and solving the mysteries of the alien world which she’s still struggling to fully understand. It’s also the first issue in which she’s out of uniform for the entire issue (although she does end up borrowing one from someone else to do a little snooping). Even with as alien as it is, the politics of the City Enduring at times remind her of Earth.
