Green Lantern: The Road Back by Gerard Jones was designed to handle DC Comics Green Lantern problem. Gerard Jones (author of The Comic Book Heroes) had to handle a situation that had three people who could lay claim to the same super hero name and a mythology that had been torn to shreds. So Jones went back to the basics (but not the beginning like another bad reboot that had been tried) and brought the history and legend of Green Lantern together and launched a new age for Green Lantern with defined roles for all three heroes.
