Interesting twist to the light spectrum。 I wonder how many more are available until this series needs rebooted in fear of getting hokey。

This includes some Lights Out issues that don't really make sense without the full story， so make sure you read that whole trade too。 The collection is handy because it grabs the smaller stories around that arc。 I like the Green Lantern story is going and it's interesting to see Hal take on the elder position。 This includes some Lights Out issues that don't really make sense without the full story， so make sure you read that whole trade too。 The collection is handy because it grabs the smaller stories around that arc。 I like the Green Lantern story is going and it's interesting to see Hal take on the elder position。 。。。more

I kind of lost interest in this story and it took me time to finish it。 Or， maybe I simply need a break from reading every night。Still， I found this story a little on the tedious side。 There is a conclusion to the Lanterns war with Relic and it doesn’t make sense to me。 How can light drain。 I don’t get it。 I guess it’s best to not think too much about it。 It was interesting to see the different colors together。 Still， I wasn’t really excited about this and I feel like going on will be a chore mo I kind of lost interest in this story and it took me time to finish it。 Or， maybe I simply need a break from reading every night。Still， I found this story a little on the tedious side。 There is a conclusion to the Lanterns war with Relic and it doesn’t make sense to me。 How can light drain。 I don’t get it。 I guess it’s best to not think too much about it。 It was interesting to see the different colors together。 Still， I wasn’t really excited about this and I feel like going on will be a chore more than I want to read it。 I already got book 5 so I have to give it a go。 I’m just not that into this story right now。I did really enjoy the White Lantern。 He was pretty cool。 I hope he comes back。 。。。more

How does a writer brought in to start a new run on a comic follow up one of the most character defining comic book runs in history？ They don't。 They crash and they burn， and they know it and embrace it。 So who doesn't feel bad for Robert Venditti？ He's like somebody that sings off-key at their church every once in a while closing for Led Zeppelin in 1973。 It goes without saying， then， that this wasn't great。 Hal is now a fascist for some reason， Lanterns aren't supposed to use their rings now fo How does a writer brought in to start a new run on a comic follow up one of the most character defining comic book runs in history？ They don't。 They crash and they burn， and they know it and embrace it。 So who doesn't feel bad for Robert Venditti？ He's like somebody that sings off-key at their church every once in a while closing for Led Zeppelin in 1973。 It goes without saying， then， that this wasn't great。 Hal is now a fascist for some reason， Lanterns aren't supposed to use their rings now for some other reason， Carol-now that she no longer has the ring to blame since she has one of her own-has to come up with other dumb and nonsensical reasons to dump Hal while Hal acts like a total baby about it， yada yada yada。 I'm going for three stars here because it had really nice art and because I seriously wouldn't envy anyone that had to take over this comic at this point in its history。 。。。more

This is a generous 3 stars as half the story apparently happened in other books。 I know comic books are all about the crossover dollars but putting a full page text explanation of what happened in other titles in the middle of the collected edition is a bit much。。。

The GL universe is getting very wearisome。 For intergalactic protectors， all they ever do anymore is fight within themselves or be real dramatic at each other。 I am ready for everything to end and reboot already。

This was three stars leaning toward for， so enjoyable as opposed to a neutral 3 out of five。 The art is consistent and solid， and the story is interesting， but it leaves me frustrated because the most ethical thing for the lanterns to do， given the circumstances is give up being lanterns--or keep the title but give up the rings。 So， a story that seems to make the premise behind your hero unethical。 That's kind of crappy--given that there is no resolution or hint of resolution。 This was three stars leaning toward for， so enjoyable as opposed to a neutral 3 out of five。 The art is consistent and solid， and the story is interesting， but it leaves me frustrated because the most ethical thing for the lanterns to do， given the circumstances is give up being lanterns--or keep the title but give up the rings。 So， a story that seems to make the premise behind your hero unethical。 That's kind of crappy--given that there is no resolution or hint of resolution。 。。。more

Not too bad。 It is hard to follow up the Geoff Johns run on GL and Robert Venditti did a good job。 While this trade takes place during a crossover event， I wasn't lost in what was taking place。 Thankfully， due to a few touches to bring the reader up to speed on what was going on in the other books of the crossover event。 I wish other trades that run during crossover events did the same。 Not too bad。 It is hard to follow up the Geoff Johns run on GL and Robert Venditti did a good job。 While this trade takes place during a crossover event， I wasn't lost in what was taking place。 Thankfully， due to a few touches to bring the reader up to speed on what was going on in the other books of the crossover event。 I wish other trades that run during crossover events did the same。 。。。more
