5.0

This was actually pretty great.

Similar to Batman and Superman 80th anniversary we get different stories of Green Lantern. Best part is we get multiple green lanterns to talk about. DC wisely brings back huge writers who have written Green Lantern before like Johns, Ron Marz, Tomasi, and more.

The stories all range from decent to fantastic. The highlights for me being the very first story about Alan Scott. Didn't know I'd be so touch by the themes and storyline presented here. I also really enjoyed Johns basically final goodbye to Hal. The one about the 4 main green lanterns was great too. I also enjoyed Jessica Story alot. Simon's was a little on the nose, and I was a tad Disappointed in Kyle's because I feel Marz could do better.

Overall though this was a great tribute to the name Green Lantern and plenty to love here. A 4.5 out of 5.
