Green Lantern Corps, Volume 1: To Be a Lantern
by Patrick Gleason, Prentis Rollins, Dave Gibbons
This is a decent green lantern story but after reading John's and Humphies runs it's hard to be blown away by this.
So this focuses on the "other" green lanterns. You know, the ones no one really puts on their top 3 (Well except maybe Guy) but that's what this is about. What do the other green lanterns who aren't the "chosen" ones deal with? We get to see how easily you can get killed in space, and this is basically a revenge story wrapped up in Space Cop Drama.
Good: I liked the characters. I always enjoy Guys smart ass, or Natu's anger filled ways. I enjoyed some of the space cop fights as it looks pretty awesome.
Bad: Some of the art was a bit much at times, too much going on in one panel. I thought the storyline, and the whole "trick, gotcha!" thing was kind of lame.
Overall it's a fun little story by itself but nothing special. I think we can do better with this cast. A 2.5 out of 5.
