Editorial Review: Product Description: Green Lantern Hal Jordan has returned from the dead -- but not everyone is happy to see him back on the job as Earth's protector. As he re-establishes his life as a test pilot for the Air Force and reconnects with his super-hero comrades-in-arms, Green Lantern faces renewed threats from his rogues gallery of foes, including Hector Hammond, the Shark, Black Hand and the Manhunters. This volume also includes a beautifully illustrated tale with art by Eisner Award winner Darwyn Cooke (DC: THE NEW FRONTIER), revealing the first time Hal's father took him flying as a child.

![]() Rating: - GL is back!This is an awesome return for Green Lantern and an excellent jumping on point for new readers. I'd reccomend checking out rebirth first just to get a full handle, but even without that "No Fear" proves to be a great to find out just why Hal Jordan is the man! Rating: - Good startAs a newcomer to GL series I started with GL: Rebirth and was overwhelmed by a sheer number of terms and characters. I didn't like it for that reason. This volume actually is a much better start for a new reader as it focuses on a story and a few characters instead of trying to mention everything in GL mythos. Rating: - Hal Jordan returnsWhen you comic fans about Geoff Johns, the words "Green Lantern" are always going to come up.

Johns ability to turn lame villains into serious threats is amazing. I really enjoyed looking into Hal's past with his family, stuff I never really cared about before. The art with a few too many pencilers was really good. Pachecho and Van Sciver were the best making the Shark terrifying and Hector Hammond ultra-creepy! I really good read! Rating: - First of a GREAT SERIESWith the exception of the Geoff Johns hand-picked Lantern collection "in Brightest Day" this is the first Lantern graphic novel i have read. And to put it simply, it made me a Green Lantern fan for life. I ordered volumes 2 and 3 along with this one and they are just as well Excelent. If you are just starting out with the Green Gladiator like i was i strongly suggest you pick up these three volumes and their predecessor Rebirth. You will NOT be dissappointed.
