Synopsis:

The far future, one month after Green Lantern briefly crash-landed on Mars, and three pilgrims to the planet Mars are brought together by a storm, swapping stories of the history of their races and their connection with the Manhunter from Mars. They each come to revelations about themselves through the telling and each begins a new chapter of their life as J'onn, now a part of the planet Mars, looks on and smiles.
