Reread: 04/11/2021Just epic. The recap I did previously but my thoughts on the volume are pretty much the same and I love the way Hal just comes in and blasts the Sinestro corps and it sort of gives it a great ending for him and shows him as a true hero who will give his life to save the corps. And the art was beautiful throughout and this like one of the best GL stories easily. Also now that the corps have returned it will be interesting to see how the universe reacts to it.____________________...
The Green Lantern Corps have disappeared somewhere, Oa has been blowed up and the Sinestro Corps rule the universe – prepare to lose IQ points, it’s Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps! Robert Venditti used to be a great writer – really. I highly recommend the first four volumes of his XO Manowar series for Valiant which is a damn sight better than any of his Green Lantern run for DC. But since he took over from Geoff Johns, Green Lantern has never even been mediocre, let alone good! I though...
[Read as single issues]If you didn't know this book was written by Robert Venditti, who wrote the past year or so of Green Lantern books, you'd think this was a different writer. Venditti really steps up his game with this new volume of Green Lantern, evoking a lot of the good stuff that Geoff Johns introduced into the series.Focusing on Hal Jordan with one plot thread and John Stewart and the returning Green Lantern Corps in the second plot thread, the balancing act is well managed and swaps fo...
So so so good. This is the GL book I miss!World: Rafa Sandoval's art is insane good. The sense of motion the characters the power of the rings the constructs the framing!!! Yeah he is absolutely fantastic. The world building here is also strong, building upon the New52 and moving the world and story forward it's great. REBIRTH was not a reboot so the tendrils of all the lore and story before was great. That being said there were some logic lapses in the world in terms of Parallax and where he wa...
This is definitely the stronger of the two Green Lantern titles DC's Running right now. Excellent use of Hal, Soranik, Guy John, Kilowogg, SInestro, all GL's classic characters. And a nice big space-sized storyline. Well-done.
The Green Lantern books really suffered during the past couple of years. I was doubtful I would ever be interested after Geoff Johns left the series after many years.This new series does return some of the luster lost! Hal Jordan is front and center, creating an awesome new ring to lead the charge against Sinestro and his corps of Yellow Lanterns. The rest of the GL Corps were apparently stranded in another universe, which I had no idea about having missed the last few volumes. At any rate, Guy
I have some question about who thinks it's smart to have a cliffhanger where the titular character supposedly sacrifices himself. But okay.
I received this from Edelweiss and DC Comics in exchange for an honest review. Okay, so this is the last of the Rebirth imprint graphic novels that I received from Edelweiss, and it was pretty good. The artwork was fantastic, and I guess the only reason it wasn't 5 stars is that the ending was so very obvious early on in the book. Curious to see what direction this title takes in the future.
If you are not currently up to date on New 52 Green Lantern, I'd strongly recommend you get up to date before tackling this volume. I was not, and my reading experience definitely suffered for it. There's been one heck of a seismic shift in the order of the universe, and I totally missed it happening. To sum up: the Sinestro Corps somehow supplanted the Green Lanterns as the galactic police force, Hal Jordan seems to have been some form of fugitive, and the other Lanterns are missing, presumed d...
Took me a while to plot through this but that's down to multiple threads to follow and some gorgeous art to take in that was often well worth a second or third look.Yeah, Sinestro has NO TIME for any of Guy Gardner's bullsh*tNice to see the Lantern Corps alive and well in the comics while the cinematic equivalent is basically in the same purgatory as Daredevil before the Netflix series.
This was the first Venditti GL book I kind of liked. It's the first time I've felt like he kind of gets the characters. This picks up where the previous volume of GL left off. Hal is slowly turning into ring energy and crafts his own power ring. After 2 years, he's finally decided to go look for the corps. At the same time, the rest of the corps pops in at the edge of the universe. Their ranks have been decimated from wherever they were. Jon Stewart's now in charge and sends Guy on a scouting mi...
Huh... it's entertaining.More to come, I guess.
5 🌟The Green Lantern Corps take the fight to Sinestro and the Sinestro Corps.
Ok, it looks like this will be the Green Lantern title that I follow from here on out. I know a lot of you guys are really enjoying the Simon and Jessica Green Lantern title, but for whatever reason those two just don't turn me on. Anyhoo, this starts off with Hal forging a Green Lantern ring, using that freaky gauntlet that he stole, and an assload of (say it with me, people) willpower.For those of you who haven't been following Hal the past few years, you may want to go back and read the previ...
The Green Lanterns have disappeared from the universe, but now they're back, and they punch some Yellow Lanterns. In other words, there wasn't really anything of interest that happens in this story. It's competent but dull. As for the art, pencillers worked on this. One of them can draw faces well, and the other one not as well, so it's a bit jarring when the unattractively drawn faces show up.
The Green Lantern books got a bit directionless near the end of the New 52 and it seems like Venditti is using DC Rebirth as a much needed reset of the status quo. In this epic first volume of a new title, the story is a follow up to the end of Venditti’s New 52 run as well as to the Lantern Corps miniseries Green Lantern Corps: Edge of Oblivion. Hal Jordan has forged a new ring out of pure will, but he believes the Corps is all dead and decides on a suicide mission to stop the Sinesteo Corps on...
Probably not the best place to start Green Lantern, the New 52 and other Green Lanterns are foundational in what is happening in Hal Jordan, regardless you can understand what is going on, and enjoy the great art. The story itself is rather simplistic and the panels are mostly fighting.
Exciting, vibrant, and full of character, this is the Rebirth issue worth getting.
This was great! I've gotten to the point where I'm a bit more well-read in the Green Lanterns universe to not think of myself as a total noob, but I still have lots to learn and understand. This was a fantastic volume with tons of action and lots of backstory on Hal Jordan and Sinestro. The main story concerns the Green Lanterns fighting the Yellow Lanterns, otherwise known as Sinestro Corps. I was missing something as this volume is based on a previous event which is mentioned a lot and I haven...
I started reading this series as single issues when it first came out, but quickly got to spending too much money at the comic shop every month and decided to go back to collecting trade paperbacks. I never had gotten back to this series when I received a Netgalley copy of volume 2. Knew I had to jump on this volume right away so I could review that 2nd volume. This book collects the Rebirth one-shot and issues #1-7 of the bi-weekly series.Robert Venditti is the writer for all of the issues. The...
