An Absolute Power tie-in issue, Green Lantern #14 gives us both Alan Scott and Hal Jordan as prisoners in one of the Bureau of Sovereignty's facilities. The two are dealing with their incarceration differently. While Scott remains in his cell for the entire issue, playing chess with the Amazo robot who stole his power and contemplating whether or not it can be turned to his side, Hal breaks out and spends most of the issue attempting escape (which he eventually succeeds in doing thanks to a little magical help).
Green Lantern #14 doesn't do much to get me interested in the larger crossover, but it still works as a standalone with Hal fighting back with stolen hero and villain artifacts he finds including Condiment King's guns, javelins, and a wand which will whisk him away. The comic also offers a new subplot for Carol helping the JSA and a backup story involving the fight against the corruption of the Green Lantern Corps by the United Planets.
