The book is the second of a series of OGNs by writer Minh Lê and artist Andie Tong, offering a young adult take on DC's Green Lantern franchise - centered on a new second-generation Green Lantern wearer, Tai Pham. Green Lantern: Legacy was the origin story for Tai Pham, including his induction into the Green Lantern pantheon of heroes and his first super-villain face-off. Pham was eventually introduced into the main DC continuity with an appearance in The Green Lantern: Season Two #11.
