This Is Your Brain On Death--Any Questions?!?

Hal Jordan is on Korugar, hunting down a misbehaving Sinestro. Katma Tui has a suggestion where he might be hiding...

Wait...Sinestro's father ran on opium den?!?!

Katma has actual work to do (preventing a planet from blowing up!), so she leaves Hal to his quest.

And Hal finds out that it's much more than an opium den...

OK, that's got to be way worse than our opioid epidemic.

But Sinestro's there, and he tricks Hal into getting caught by those (conveniently) yellow "null rays."

Well, I guess death really is pretty cool. Hey, has anybody told Thanos about this?!? It'd probably be easier to impress Death by opening a franchise of this "null chamber" on every planet!!

Oh, and Katma Tui showed up to save Hal, and Sinestro gets away, because Jordan basically sucks at everything.
