![]() Rating: - Continuation of great GL mythologyThis book continues Geoff John's big Green Lantern story arc featuring Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern of my youth. When I first heard about these other colored Lantern corps, the whole idea seemed a little cheesy. But Johns has been able to make credible and interesting stories that stand on their own as stories and also plug into the larger "Blackest Night" storyline. I would definitely recommend this book to Green Lantern fans. Rating: - Interesting storyline from Geoff JohnsIn this collection of GL stories, we witness the birth of the Lantern Corps internal affairs department (beings known as Alpha Lanterns, who undergo specialized surgery and have direct connection to the Central Power Battery) in the wake of the Sinestro Corps War, which resulted in the deaths of many of the Lantern Corps.

After that, Geoff Johns began preluding the 'Blackest Night' event with story arcs that laid down the foundation for a climactic and epic War of Light. The story's complexity steadily increases as Johns builds on the concepts and premise of the comic, and the art is always top notch. The notion behind the War of light, with its rainbow assortment of Lantern Corps, each ...

Geoff Johns has a unique talent to weave character stories into successful battle operas which feature the industry's most gifted artist.All the Green Lanterns unite for this epic saga and each ones origins and historicals generate as much interest as the Lead character, and the fight scenes are just ...

For anyone wondering, issues #29-35 comprise Green Lantern: Secret Origin, as writer Geoff Johns essentially took a half-year break from the main story line to retool GL's origin (and throw in elements foreshadowing Rage of the Red Lanterns, so it's well worth the read). The way these issues are collected actually works out better for first-time readers, ...
