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.
