I did not know anything about Green Lantern prior to reading this book。 I discovered the reviews of it through YouTube channels Gem Mint Collectibles and Near Mint Collection （lots of Mint there！）。 Through a buying frenzy， I got myself the three omnis being confident it would be at least OK。 I was not disapointed。 This is a very very large scale adventure。 You might be lost a bit at the beginning if you have no prior knowledge about the GL or JL universes but will soon catch up through the 1000+ I did not know anything about Green Lantern prior to reading this book。 I discovered the reviews of it through YouTube channels Gem Mint Collectibles and Near Mint Collection （lots of Mint there！）。 Through a buying frenzy， I got myself the three omnis being confident it would be at least OK。 I was not disapointed。 This is a very very large scale adventure。 You might be lost a bit at the beginning if you have no prior knowledge about the GL or JL universes but will soon catch up through the 1000+ pages of this book。 I discovered a complex story involving tens of characters evolving through several sectors of our universe。 It started slowly with simple stories on earth and on OA and ultimately got super crazy。 If you have the slightest doubt， I would recommend to go for it and commit to reading it。 Pretty sure you will enjoy it and will want to start Volume 2！ 。。。more

I have read very little DC and never read anything green lantern ever i have zero knowledge of green lantern so there was a but of a learning curve but i feel like it did a good job of keeping me up to speed。 It took a but for Sinestro corps war to pull me in but ended up loving it by the end。

Alright ya buncha poozers。。。I have spent the last few weeks expanding my DC horizons past the pointy ears of the Bat Cowl and into the reaches of the universe。 I started at the depths of Atlantis and now I'm circling Oa and shit。。 It took me a little longer than usual to get through than other omnis， but the mythology is pretty dense and I had to do my research。 I also stopped to read issues of the GL Corps and Ion the Torchbearer series that run concurrently。 （Mogo also just gave me a pep talk Alright ya buncha poozers。。。I have spent the last few weeks expanding my DC horizons past the pointy ears of the Bat Cowl and into the reaches of the universe。 I started at the depths of Atlantis and now I'm circling Oa and shit。。 It took me a little longer than usual to get through than other omnis， but the mythology is pretty dense and I had to do my research。 I also stopped to read issues of the GL Corps and Ion the Torchbearer series that run concurrently。 （Mogo also just gave me a pep talk to power through - there's another reference for you nerds）Well， you were all right。 Geoff Johns' Green Lantern is great！It's a fun and mostly unique read。 I really dig the mythology and sci-fi fantasy elements， it's like one giant nerdgasm of satisfying little details。 For once the over-exposition that is rife in superhero comics worked wonders for me and I breathed sighs of relief whenever I needed the extra explanation。 Johns' is pretty masterful at weaving together a compelling story that clearly resonates with fans and is still accessible for DC newbs。 But I would urge anyone who has yet to read the run， don't bypass the GL Corps by Gibbons/Tomasi （or Ion by Ron Marz） - it will totally heighten the experience if you read then too。 They make you care about the supporting cast when you least expect to。 Also， expect to do a great deal of Wikipedia-ing。。 wikiing？ You get the drill poozer。It's a little slow to get going， but about halfway through the book I was ploughing through issues。 He takes his time sending Hal off on random superheroic quests just so we can spend time with the characters， but he does lay in some Easter eggs for a healthy plate of foreshadowing。 The pay off in this first volume at least is pretty kick ass， I love the gradual introduction of the Yellow fuckers。 And I gotta say; best character = Soranik Natu。 She's a certified boss。But， in terms of who my favourite of the 4 main Lanterns is， I'll just say that the quieter， more unassuming artist is far more appealing to my sensibilities than the All-American Air Force hero。 So Kyle > Hal all day long。Onto Vol 2！ 。。。more

The most basic superhero action slug fest I’ve ever read。 The character work is basic， the retcons are plentiful and almost every page turn is a splash page。 It’s archetypal superhero comics for sure， it’s the epitome of 2000’s superhero books。 Pluses to this book are: The Sinestro Corps War。 A good action movie put to comics。 The Recharge mini series。 I really enjoyed seeing the Lantern Corps be an establishment。 The art。 There are some damn good artists on this book。 Ivan Reis， Pat Gleason， Da The most basic superhero action slug fest I’ve ever read。 The character work is basic， the retcons are plentiful and almost every page turn is a splash page。 It’s archetypal superhero comics for sure， it’s the epitome of 2000’s superhero books。 Pluses to this book are: The Sinestro Corps War。 A good action movie put to comics。 The Recharge mini series。 I really enjoyed seeing the Lantern Corps be an establishment。 The art。 There are some damn good artists on this book。 Ivan Reis， Pat Gleason， Dave Gibbons and even Darwyn Cooke for what was the best single issue of the book。 The writing of the book was my main problem。 Johns is by no means a bad writer， but I think his writing style is overall pretty basic。 I think he lacks substance though he has a knack for large action set pieces and fan service。 6/10 。。。more

Great introduction into the Green lantern universe。

Definitely worth the read。 Some of the best green lantern stories out there by one of the all time masters， Geoff。 The art for the most part is good。 Although the sinsetro wars section got cluttered alot。But that's just how it gets when you clump all those characters together in a war。 The suspense build throughout the book is executed masterfully by Johns， especially at the end， hinting towards the black lanterns 。 Will probably pick up the next volume as its said to get better from here on。 Definitely worth the read。 Some of the best green lantern stories out there by one of the all time masters， Geoff。 The art for the most part is good。 Although the sinsetro wars section got cluttered alot。But that's just how it gets when you clump all those characters together in a war。 The suspense build throughout the book is executed masterfully by Johns， especially at the end， hinting towards the black lanterns 。 Will probably pick up the next volume as its said to get better from here on。 。。。more

Johns first volume of Green Lantern is a little smaller scale than what came afterward， but by the last arc it's built an epic scale。Rebirth。 I'm usually not fond of superheroic resurrections。 They

exceptions。That's in part because of the character assassination that was Green Lantern: Emerald Twilight， Ron Johns first volume of Green Lantern is a little smaller scale than what came afterward， but by the last arc it's built an epic scale。Rebirth。 I'm usually not fond of superheroic resurrections。 They just keep the Big Two comics retreading the same ground year after year， decade after decade。 And they often shove aside interesting successors。 But in the case of Green Lantern， I'll make an exceptions。That's in part because of the character assassination that was Green Lantern: Emerald Twilight， Ron Marz's heavy-handed and poorly written destruction of Hal Jordan a decade earlier （which also destroyed the first four years of the excellent V3 run by the now-disgraced Gerard Jones）。 It had no foreshadowing and it never made much sense。 Johns does a great job of making "Emerald Twilight" at last make sense in Rebirth， by imagining Parallax as the yellow creature of fear， kicking off what would eventually become the whole emotional spectrum。 Not only does Johns explain Jordan's insanity， but he also return Sinestro to his proper place as Green Lantern's greatest foe。But， Johns is also very respectful not just of Jordan's successor， Kyle Rayner， but also all the Earthside Lanterns， with Guy Gordan also returned to glory here， after some rather painful floundering as "Warrior" during the dark-and-gritty '90s。 This could have been a color-by-numbers story， focused on retconning "Emerald Twilight" and reintroducing all four Earthside Lanterns， but Johns manages to make it an interesting story too， with the appearance of not just Sinestro and Parallax， but also the conflicts among Earth's various heroes。 A strong start for a new series， making none of the mistakes that Johns would succumb to in The Flash: Rebirth， when he was forced to repeat this formula [4/5]。"Flight" （SF 2005）。 nice historical story about Hal and his family。 Good to have it reprinted from Secret Files。 [4/5]。Recharge。 Green Lantern Corps: Recharge had a different purpose than Green Lantern: Rebirth。 Where Rebirth had to redress Hal Jordan's character assassination， all Recharge had to do wasrebuild the Green Lantern Corps。 And， it does。 On the one hand we get the return of Green Lanterns that managed to survive Green Lantern: Emerald Twilight， such as Salaak， Kilowog， and Green Man。 However， more importantly Johns introduces a trio of new Lanterns who， alongside the three extra Earth Lanterns， become three of our viewpoint characters: Natu， Vath， and Isamot。 He leans on existing stereotypes about their home planets to make the three new Lanterns instantly memorable， and is quite successful: Natu in particular has become a cornerstone of the franchise。So what do you do with a new Corps？ You give them a galactic foe in the form of the Spider Guild of Vega， who are creating a galactic web of new black holes。 It's a plot that's better in concept than development， as it turns out to be the weakest part of this comic， culminating in yet another attack on Oa。 But given it's just the foundation for introducing and reintroducing our many Lanterns， that's probably OK [3+/5]。Manhunters （#1-3）。 The first arc of Geoff Johns' new Green Lantern lays a lot of groundwork for Hal Jordan's new life: groundwork that will largely be ignored in the years to come as Green Lantern moves deep into space。 It also plays with the mythology by upgrading the Manhunters。 Overall， it's a slow story because so much of it is setup [3+/5]。Gremlins （#4-6）。 Johns' second Green Lantern arc is weirdly over-the-top， as we mash together Hector Hammond， an evolved shark， and gremlin aliens。 It's all part of some story about super-evolution， and I suppose a nice meeting of minds。 And then Black Hand smashes in too！！？？ Anywho， it's a nice set of Lantern villains， and I believe also the story that puts Hammond onto his path of weird hero worship that continues to the modern day [4/5]。A Perfect Life （#7-8）。 Ah， it's the ole' Mongol and the dream flowers trick。 Though it's cool to see Hal and Ollie team up， their "perfect life" dreams really aren't that interesting。 The story ends with some interesting looks at families， but that's about it [3+/5]。Branded （#9）。 Hal fights a scary new Tattooed Man。 There's some good world building in the new Tattooed Man， but that doesn't make the fight particularly memorable。 More notable is the repairing of the relationship between Hal and Bruce （Wayne） [3+/5]。Revenge of the Green Lanterns （#10-13）。 And as he closes out his first year of the Green Lantern comic proper， Johns is still trying to repair the damage of Emerald Twilight。 This time around， he welcomes back the many well-characterized and original Lanterns from before the Twilight by coming up with a ham-handed reason for their survival。 It's nice to see Hal and Guy working together， and it's nice to get some closure on the first arc's return of the Manhunters， but this still ends up being a long fight without much depth [3+/5]。Wanted: Hal Jordan （#14-17）。 Another conclusive arc， this time ending the story of the assassination attempts upon Hal。 Amon Sur makes a nice heel， but the real joy of this story is the increased attention to Hal Jordan's life as an actual person （and to his supporting cast）。 Unfortunately this story is let-down by a clumsy reveal in the final issue and by it ending up inconclusively subservient to the upcoming Sinestro Corps story [3+/5]。Mystery of the Star Sapphire （#18-20）。 By this point， Johns had already been foreshadowing the Sinestro Corps for a few issues， but this Star Sapphire storyline is where he took the idea of one of Hal's oldest and weirdest foes， the Star Sapphires， and developed from that and the Sinestro Corps the whole idea of an Emotional Spectrum。 It's a wholly revolutionary idea that has dramatically affected the Green Lantern mythos ever since。 As for the story itself: its strength is the look at Hal， Cowgirl， and Carol。 And the nice art。 Then， there's lots of power ring fighting [4/5]。The Sinestro Corps （#21-25）。 This is the arc that changed the whole Green Lantern mythos， and it has an amazing start， as Sinestro creates a new fear-based corps and uses it to take on the Green Lanterns。 And， they prove to be worthy foes， as for the first time Johns goes truly big picture and shows us a galaxy-engulfing war。 The inclusion of the Anti-Monitor and his heralds should have been another superb element of this arc （and seemed to be at first）， but Johns was just juggling too many things to give them much attention， which is sad， for what was a couple of amazing returns。 In the end， this big space battle does get a little repetitive， but you still have to appreciate the grandeur of getting there。 And， of course， we get the first view of the rest of the emotional spectrum [4/5]。 。。。more

Really really great entry into the Green Lantern mythos， and one of the best contemporary DC comics。 Would highly recommend！ No prior knowledge of DC continuity （well， continuity when this was originally published， that is） required。

Jesus how do I start this？I'll start by giving the reading list I'm reading this massive run by: https://comicvine。gamespot。com/forums。。。Seems very complete and I'm one omnibus down and had no holes other than references to specific silver age shenanigans。So the trades in the collection range from 3 stars to 5 stars。 Rebirth starts it off really strong and Greem Lantern Corps recharge continues that on top of the excellent Darwyn Cook illustrated series。The Green Lantern title that follows Hal's Jesus how do I start this？I'll start by giving the reading list I'm reading this massive run by: https://comicvine。gamespot。com/forums。。。Seems very complete and I'm one omnibus down and had no holes other than references to specific silver age shenanigans。So the trades in the collection range from 3 stars to 5 stars。 Rebirth starts it off really strong and Greem Lantern Corps recharge continues that on top of the excellent Darwyn Cook illustrated series。The Green Lantern title that follows Hal's story is pretty good too starting with a manhunter story。 The he fights a killer shark and that is enjoyable in its own way。 The you have the perfect life story which is a Mongul story which is good on the Hal side but falls short on the villian side because mongul is boring。Then Green Lantern: Branded which is great， 5 stars to it。 Good plot， art， characters， and arc。The Revenge of the Green Lanterns story is up next and at best I can say it's fun but muddled。 You have a whole in medias res aspect where Hal and his air force team got captured that is communicated very well and left me confused at times。 And another man hunter story where Cyborg Superman is behind it that leaves it a continuity mess。 This one is a tough spot in the omnibus in the collection。Wanted: Hal Jordan looks like it'll have some of the problems of Revenge of the Green Lanterns but Johns' strong plot and character chops help make this a good story on its own with good setup for the next。 Cow girl is also awesome and Abin sur is interesting。The Star Sapphire story suffers from a tonal shift in the art to something different。 Even though I like the art and the story the fluxuating art was the thing that bothered me most about this collection， though you can't read a title for long before a different artist takes over so that just a general comics problem。Tales of the Sinestro Corps is a solid one issue providing world building for what is to come and is drawn well and has good stories in it。The whole Sinestro Corps war is a very well done event even if I don't like Superboy Prime， I think his whole thing is dumb personally。 But Sinestro is a great villian and the split between Lantern Corps is good and on the whole I liked the event even if it was a bit repetitive。 Kyle Rayner as parrallax was a smart move。 I think it could have been more interesting without the anti monitor and Superboy prime but it's too late to change。 The Superboy prime special that is in here is good even if it feels out of place with the subject of the omnibus。 Sodam Yat is also pretty cool。 And his story is compelling。The building of all the different emotional Corps is awesome and I look forward to where it goes。And that little collection in the back detailing all the lanterns and major settings/ characters is neat if longwinded。Overall， I enjoyed my time with this collection。 I look forward to progressing through this run and going even deeper into the world of the Green Lantern Corps and Hal Jordan。What you get here are a collection of good to great stories featuring family troubles， epic space quests， war stories， and some of the best damn long form writing I've seen in comics。If you're interested in Green Lantern， Hal Jordan， Geoff Johns， or some good superhero comic writing I insist you check out this omnibus and the Green Lantern Corps trades that go with it。（Use the list I put at the top！）I don't see any other option because this has everything I'm looking for in superhero comics: good action， worldbuilding， characters， plot， art， and seed planting。5 starsHell I even like Guy Gardener now。 I never thought that would happen。 。。。more

Geoff Johns has written a lot of great stories in the DC universe but most notably in my opinion， he not only brought back Hal Jordan as a beloved and interesting character but wrote some of the best material in the DC universe for the time。 This book takes us from the return of Hal Jordan up to the events leading into the notorious Blackest Night。

One of the most ambitious reboots/retcons in comic book history starts here。 Johns is so thorough that he wraps just about everything you can think of up into his story to set the stage for what he is trying to accomplish。 The yellow weakness， Sinestro， the lanterns that Hal killed when he turned evil， the Spectre， and even Hal's gray hair are all explained in the context of the rebooted Green Lantern。 But， just as important， Johns also builds the Green Lantern mythos in ways that are still felt One of the most ambitious reboots/retcons in comic book history starts here。 Johns is so thorough that he wraps just about everything you can think of up into his story to set the stage for what he is trying to accomplish。 The yellow weakness， Sinestro， the lanterns that Hal killed when he turned evil， the Spectre， and even Hal's gray hair are all explained in the context of the rebooted Green Lantern。 But， just as important， Johns also builds the Green Lantern mythos in ways that are still felt to this day。 The other colored corps， Ganthet and Sayd， Soranik Natu。。。it's all here。 Besides the stories （which includes the main issues of the incredible Sinestro Corps War）， the art is fantastic， with special mention going to the the large and full page pieces that made many of the scenes truly epic。 As an added bonus， this is a fantastic place to start for people who know little or nothing about Green Lantern。 His origin and many of the major events in his career are retold here。 If I had one gripe with this book at all， it is that Johns tries to inject a bit of old-school dialog and costumes into a few of the stories （I imagine to pay homage to Green Lantern comics of old）。 This might be a great throwback for many， but I am personally not a huge fan of the overly bombastic speeches and the 60's getups。 This doesn't really detract from the book as a whole， though， and I am sure there are many people that really like that kind of thing。 Also， on a side note: Has Batman ever looked more sinister than in the Green Lantern: Rebirth story here？ I really liked the "evil shadow" look he was rocking throughout that story line！ 。。。more

I had read some of Geoff Johns' Green Lantern run previously， and I read the Absolute Sinestro Corp War compilation as well， so maybe half of this tome was "new" to me。 I still enjoyed reading it。 It has some interesting character development in it， it brings back former "fan favorites，" and it introduces new characters to the Green Lantern mythos as well。 For being as thick as it is， it does move at a pretty fast pace， and it covers a lot of territory。 （view spoiler）[I am not really sure how mu I had read some of Geoff Johns' Green Lantern run previously， and I read the Absolute Sinestro Corp War compilation as well， so maybe half of this tome was "new" to me。 I still enjoyed reading it。 It has some interesting character development in it， it brings back former "fan favorites，" and it introduces new characters to the Green Lantern mythos as well。 For being as thick as it is， it does move at a pretty fast pace， and it covers a lot of territory。 （view spoiler）[I am not really sure how much of a "spoiler" this really is， but this compilation does spend a lot of time in "outer space，" something I do not remember the prior runs ever really doing that much （well， after Kyle Rayner took over as Green Lantern， he did spend more time in space）。 Granted， I did not follow the earlier runs that much， either， so my memory is probably skewed by the limited number of issues I did read。 That， and I did not ever read the Green Lantern Corps title， which， from what I saw when I occasionally did thumb through the issues， did focus on the Green Lanterns who patrolled other sectors。 It was "fun" to see the varying number of aliens the writer and artists could create for the story。Having a "sentient disease" be a member of the "Yellow Lantern Corp" was crazy！ Despotellis was a horrifically evil character， as he could infect a being's body and turn that being into an incubator for the alien disease， thereby infecting those around him and possibly infecting an entire planet。 According to the writers， this disease would go on to eradicate practically all sentient life on nearly every planet in a particular sector （memory fails me as to which sector， specifically）。 That being the case， it is interesting that the Green Lantern Corp was able to find two surviving sentient beings to act as guardians for that devastated sector。 （hide spoiler）]（view spoiler）[I did feel like I missed something， a part of the "story，" though， because one of the arcs starts out with Hal and two other Air Force pilots having escaped from some Chechneyan terrorists。 I missed the part where the three American aircraft were shot down to begin with， so it threw me off。 I did get over it， though。 （hide spoiler）]Different artists were involved in the series， so the artwork does not remain consistent。 As it is constantly changing over the course of the series， I definitely found myself liking the artwork in some of the issues more than other issues。 Some of the panels were definitely better than others even with the artwork that I enjoyed。 （view spoiler）[Probably one of the funnier panels involved Jillian and Carol Ferris finding themselves in a chapel in Las Vegas; because both of them had been possessed by a Star Sapphire crystal， both of them were nude after the crystal had been removed。 Both of them are getting dressed， pulling on whatever clothes are available， and Jillian puts on a shirt that says "I Am Easy" on the front。 Considering how they had made her character to be so aggressive in flirting with Hal Jordan， the "humor" is pretty tongue in cheek。 Another part I enjoyed took place a few panels before - Carol Ferris was furious and told Hal to give her a "suit" so she could fight back against the possessed Cowgirl。 Hal did so， and she and Cowgirl mixed it up for a few panels。 Don't know why， but it just seemed cool to me， how he created a suit for her so she could fight back and defend herself。 And！ One other "funny moment" for me was during the same storyline - Hal is "forced" by the Star Sapphires to choose between Jillian and Carol。 Instead， he makes a "third" choice and chooses the leader of the Star Sapphires， smooching her something fierce。 The crystal then attaches itself to her， freeing Jillian and Carol from its clutches。 It was pretty hilarious！ （hide spoiler）] I did like how the author re-integrated Hal back into the DCU。 The other three "Earth" Lanterns trusted him， as did Ollie; Hal had to regain the trust of the rest of the DC superheroes。 （view spoiler）[His interactions with Batman were some of the best， in my opinion。 I also liked the yellow ring for sector 2814 approached Batman right away for assimilation， but Batman was able to resist it and fight it off。 That was pretty cool。 I also thought it was interesting how there was some sort of "global treaty" preventing meta-humans from one country from entering the territory of another country without the country's permission。 Well， it only does so for as long as any given meta-human chooses to obey and respect the laws of each country。 Because Hal kept intruding into Chechnya， the Red Rockets and other super hero groups kept going after him to either arrest him or drive him from Chechnya。The batch of alien bounty hunters trying to hunt Hal down for Amun Sur was pretty crazy！ It was pretty crazy to see how the different characters interacted with each other as well as the Terran citizens and heroes。 On a side note， I also thought it was funny how Amun Sur let his fear overcome him and he fled the scene of battle during the Sinestro Corps War。 It made me laugh。 （hide spoiler）] （view spoiler）[So the Green Lantern Corp has been changed so that they can now employ lethal force？ I could see it happening， on the one hand。 It gets pretty hard to defend yourself and survive if the other side is using lethal force and you cannot。 It will be "interesting" to see how this change affects the Corps through the rest of Geoff Johns' run。 （hide spoiler）]（view spoiler）[Back to the story about the Star Sapphires - there was a woman who was left in the cockpit of an airplane as the crystal switched bodies and left。 I am sure the young woman died shortly thereafter when the plane [no doubt] crashed。 I was kinda hoping she'd be rescued， by somebody， but apparently not。 It was a tragic death because she was， essentially， innocent and chosen against her will by the sapphire crystal。 （hide spoiler）]Suffice to say， I did enjoy reading this run， and I am looking forward to reading the next two volumes。 。。。more

Before this the only "Green Lantern" title I read was "Green Lanterns。 I enjoyed that enough but I felt like I might enjoy it more if I go back to where "Green Lantern" turned from "Okay" to Amazing。 This collection is the time Geoff johns （Who slowly is becoming my favorite DC writer ever） came on and decided to give Green Lantern some love。 You can tell from the start Johns LOVED the Green Lantern Mythology and decided he was about to expand that。 This is great for people who've never read Gre Before this the only "Green Lantern" title I read was "Green Lanterns。 I enjoyed that enough but I felt like I might enjoy it more if I go back to where "Green Lantern" turned from "Okay" to Amazing。 This collection is the time Geoff johns （Who slowly is becoming my favorite DC writer ever） came on and decided to give Green Lantern some love。 You can tell from the start Johns LOVED the Green Lantern Mythology and decided he was about to expand that。 This is great for people who've never read Green Lantern before。 Sure， there's elements， characters， and stories that happened that connect but they catch you up on most of it in short ways， with very little exposition。 The story is really the Rebirth of Hal and him getting his groove back in the Corps。 A lot of people want him dead for what he did and then Sinesto comes into play and shit gets really out of control。 Good: The whole second half is epic as fuck。 I mean it's all out war and the Green Lanterns are at the center of it all。 You really see the war of all wars here。 I also loved how each Lantern was different in their own respectable ways yet still worked all individually。 The art was top notch and some of the fights were near perfection for me。 The chemistry between the cast is wonderful and everyone felt like they had time to shine。 Also for 80 bucks （amazon price） you get 1200+ pages。 That's awesome。 Bad: None really。 Little heavy dialog at times + some filler chapters。 Overall this collection is a must buy for both fans of GL and not。 If you want to get into their lore this is the place to start。 John builds a wonderful compelling world worth researching and checking out。 A 5/5。 。。。more

Went into this knowing it was seen by the majority as the best， the definitive， the ultimate green lantern run and I can see why。 I also went into this knowing nothing about green lantern other then his favourite colour being green。 I was taken aback by the universe， the characters and the lore。 It was all so rich and expansive。So WHATEVER you do， do not say no to this run just because green lantern doesn't seem cool or interesting because Geoff johns makes him both those things。 It was so good Went into this knowing it was seen by the majority as the best， the definitive， the ultimate green lantern run and I can see why。 I also went into this knowing nothing about green lantern other then his favourite colour being green。 I was taken aback by the universe， the characters and the lore。 It was all so rich and expansive。So WHATEVER you do， do not say no to this run just because green lantern doesn't seem cool or interesting because Geoff johns makes him both those things。 It was so good I read it in 6 days！P。s the book is massive！ 。。。more

3。5 STARSGeoff Johns deserves a lot of credit for this run on Green Lantern。 He's really created a stepping board for DC to work from because it's become something so much bigger than it was。However， my tastes in comics have matured over the years。 Green lantern was one of the first ever comics I read。 I kind of feel now that it's quite dated already。 The ideas might have， but this comic itself doesn't really stand the test of time。 The artwork is not creative enough for me。 It's basic archetype 3。5 STARSGeoff Johns deserves a lot of credit for this run on Green Lantern。 He's really created a stepping board for DC to work from because it's become something so much bigger than it was。However， my tastes in comics have matured over the years。 Green lantern was one of the first ever comics I read。 I kind of feel now that it's quite dated already。 The ideas might have， but this comic itself doesn't really stand the test of time。 The artwork is not creative enough for me。 It's basic archetype characters， with old fashion sexy costumes， big muscles， big tits， skimpy costumes， but that's not Geoff fault because in this run he has created some of the most creative and unique characters you'll probably ever see in comics， like Parallax， the entity of fear and Ion the entity of Will power。 Such great ideas and then to put it together into one giant saga is commendable。 Had I read this whole run when I first started reading comics I would have probably rated it a lot higher， but now I can see so many flaws in it despite its popularity from fans。 So this is the Omnibus， what makes this better？ Well for starters this has filled in all the gaps for me。 Before when I read the run from 'No fear' up to 'Blackest Night' I missed out a lot。 Mainly the green lantern corps issues。 These it turns out are quite important and add a lot of value to the story。 It's a mammoth book over 1200 pages and a lot of content， and it's 1 of 3！！The Sinestro corps war storyline - I've read this twice now and I can honestly say it's still as good as it was when I first read it。 Why？ Sinestro is why！ Sinestro is like Hal Jordan's Joker or Lex Luther like they are to Batman and Superman he's just brilliant and a breath of fresh air。 There are so many stand out characters in this run and it's brilliant that Geoff managed to keep focus on the story while still capturing the essence of each individual。 You might be thinking why only three stars after so many positives， well like I said， it feels a bit dated and it's not as fresh anymore and some of the writing is quite dull especially when they just focus on Hal Jordan， damn he's boring。 I'd still recommend this story to people if they wanted to read some green lantern， after all this is the signature GL run for any beginner。 。。。more

So amazing。 I had always been interested in the Green Lanterns as a concept， the trouble was trying to get into them。 I read GL: Rebirth a few years ago and enjoyed it， but it still wasn't enough for a new reader。 This， however， is perfect。 I didn't understand every single reference， and I'm sure there's some references I didn't even notice that I missed， but overall the story is very accessible to someone with basic GL knowledge。 And it's a fantastic story。 Geoff Johns shows he's a master at wr So amazing。 I had always been interested in the Green Lanterns as a concept， the trouble was trying to get into them。 I read GL: Rebirth a few years ago and enjoyed it， but it still wasn't enough for a new reader。 This， however， is perfect。 I didn't understand every single reference， and I'm sure there's some references I didn't even notice that I missed， but overall the story is very accessible to someone with basic GL knowledge。 And it's a fantastic story。 Geoff Johns shows he's a master at writing comics， and for the most part the art is incredible。 Can't wait to read the next two omnibuses。 。。。more

- a stand-alone story by Ethan Van Sciver （the weakest link in this collection， but worth a look - if only to see， albeit briefly - Batman all 'Green-Lanterned-Up'）; - and the titular story， a fantastic， action-packed four-parter by Ivan Reis: oh-so heavy on the exposition， but with big revelations， big stakes， awesome fight scenes， and the return of many long-thought-dead （or at least forgotten） characters。 Not the least of which: Hank Henshaw a。k。a。 Cyborg Superman！* * *Green Lantern， Vol。 3: Wanted: Hal Jordan: 3 starsThis book has two stories:- Wanted: Hal Jordan， a four-parter in which Amon Sur （Abin Sur's son） hires bounty hunters to capture Hal Jordan。 Amon Sur is still angry that he wasn't chosen as his father's replacement and so he thinks that if he kills Hal Jordan at close proximity the ring will have to choose him as the new Green Lantern。 But you already figured out this particular plan fails， because Hal Jordan is still around， after all。 Art by Ivan Reis。- The Mystery Of The Star Sapphire， a three-parter in which the origin of the Star Sapphire is re-told， most likely streamlined for our convenience， with the Star Sapphire first taking possession of Carol Ferris， then of Jillian 'Cowgirl' Pearlman。 It ends with the Star Sapphires being changed to power rings of something looking a lot like a Star Sapphire Corps。 It is then that it is revealed （or at least hinted） that there are four more Corps colours to be introduced in the series。 Art by Daniel Acuña。* * *Green Lantern， Vol。 4: The Sinestro Corps War， Vol。 1: 4 starsGreen Lantern， Vol。 5: The Sinestro Corps War， Vol。 2: 4 starsEpic story with BIG stakes and great villains。 Parallax is getting annoying and overplayed， but then there's Cyborg Superman， Superboy Prime， and Sinestro & his Sinestro Corps to contend with。 And oh！ - how could I forget the Anti-Monitor！ The Green Lanterns really have their work cut out for them。 Who will live？ Who will die？ This is the storyline that Geoff Johns' run has been building up to， and it does not disappoint！ * * *Interspersed with the main 'Sinestro Corps War' storyline are stories found in Tales of the Sinestro Corps， most - if not all - of them completely forgettable。 For these， 1 star。* * *Happy reading！ 。。。more

Really great collection of comic books， didn't know much about Green Lantern beforehand and this collection is a good starting point。 Going from the rebirth of Hal Jordan as a Green Lantern up to the creation of the Black Lantern Corps at the end of the novel。 Starts with a bang with the fight against Parallax and goes through a bit of a lull in the middle （parts about Mongul， or the collaboration with Batman and Green Arrow were a bit long） and ends on a spectacular note with the Sinestro Corps Really great collection of comic books， didn't know much about Green Lantern beforehand and this collection is a good starting point。 Going from the rebirth of Hal Jordan as a Green Lantern up to the creation of the Black Lantern Corps at the end of the novel。 Starts with a bang with the fight against Parallax and goes through a bit of a lull in the middle （parts about Mongul， or the collaboration with Batman and Green Arrow were a bit long） and ends on a spectacular note with the Sinestro Corps War and the Anti-Monitor， Cyborg-Superman and Superman Prime。 。。。more

An excellent collection for the start of Geoff Johns' unmatched and perfect Green Lantern where he brings back Hal Jordon， expands the Green Lantern mythos， and brings along the rest if the DCU for the amazing ride。 Worth your money and time if you like big space epics like Star Wars。 An excellent collection for the start of Geoff Johns' unmatched and perfect Green Lantern where he brings back Hal Jordon， expands the Green Lantern mythos， and brings along the rest if the DCU for the amazing ride。 Worth your money and time if you like big space epics like Star Wars。 。。。more
