I really like how this series is using the groundwork Johns is building over on the main Green Lantern book and expanding upon it. The new non earth lanterns are great, they are a huge draw to this book for me.

The first story in this book is about Guy and a new Lantern meeting a member of a secret black ops faction of the Corps, and the three of them infiltrating the Dominators. There were some pretty confusing parts. I'm not really sure what happened to R'amey Holl near the end of it. But maybe I just missed something. The best thing about this arc, though, was the introduction of R'amey. She's adorable and has a really cool design.The second part was about a yellow virus on Mogo. This arc was intere...

Wasn't my favorite ,the threat felt big enough but didn't do mcuh with it in the end... did like this quote though!Guy Gardner :Truth is, I ain't never been so proud of failing in my entire life. Killing someone. That's the easy way out. Making the scum of the universe face the music... That's more my style.

This was unexpectedly good.

Now THAT is what I'm talking about! So first volume of this series was fine, pretty cool, but nothing special. This time the focus is far more on Guy. Which, for me, could be a bad thing. I never really liked the Lantern much, he was always with John as more of the ones I gave two shits about. This volume turned me around though. So first story arc is actually Guy and his new partner going on an adventure in a chilly place. When they land on this ice planet they are right away tricked and beaten...

This is it! This is when Green Lantern Corps is a fun book to read!Yes Kyle is missing, I think he's Ion now but I'm not sure so we once again get a Guy and others centric story, but this time around Guy's not bad and the rest of the cast, which I really like, get their time in the spotlight.World: The art is good, it's Gleason mainly and in general I do enjoy his art quite a bit. It's really dirty (as in having a lot of debris and fluids and things flying everywhere) in a good way, he just love...

This is a 3.5 my biggest issue is the ending. It just seems so rushed. As for the meat there is a lot to like in this one. Split into two stories like most of the collected editions. The first half deals with Corpse the GLC Special Black Ops division. This is the weaker story of the two imho. Not bad but just send very random and never really plays into anything again. The second half deals with a fear inducing fungus on Mogo which has so very cool art work but like I said just send to end.

Similar to my review of Gibbon's last GLC trade, he just does not seem fit to write modern comics. The pacing is so god-awfully slow. Plot-wise, really mysterious and dramatic things going on. But it's drowned out by lackluster dialogue.

THIS is why I love the corners of the DCU that Geoff Johns clearly has a controlling interest in. Despite the fact that he himself didn't write these issues, he's worked with Dave Gibbons to help lay the groundwork for the Sinestro Corps War and even Blackest Night, WAY back before (and during) Infinite Crisis! And the best part is, they did it by using an old Alan Moore GL story! It's also a credit to Gibbons and his company of artists (himself included) that the new rebuilt Corps feels genuine...

While at first the story enticed me, by the time I had reached the halfway point of the volume it was starting to feel like more of the same, repeated with different characters. Honestly, it wasn't long after that part that I became completely bored with the story and simply scanned the rest of the volume in the vain hope that it might change, only to be disappointed. After a disappointing time reading the first volume, and having the same reaction from the second volume, I find that I am less e...

Following Geoff Johns Green Lantern run based off of this list:https://comicvine.gamespot.com/forums... And I'm at the point where GLC issues #7-13 come into it as the set up for this Sinestro Corps war happens. And it's actually pretty good, the writing is consistently surprising. First off, for making me like Guy Gardener, second for keeping the other Lantern characters relevant and interesting, which I was surprised with after the second volume. And third for setting something up (it seems) w...

I thought the previous volume was pretty middling, but this one was quite good. The first three issues are guest-written, and are way more dark and disturbing than the rest of the series has been. They essentially follow a secret Green Lantern wetworks team: the Green Lantern Corpse (pun!) I really enjoyed this arc, even though it felt a little out of place. I wanted to follow this arc a little more, instead of getting back to the usual cast.But the rest of the book is pretty good. Gibbons still...

I generally dislike DC comics, but the Green Lantern has always been the exception. What I really like about it is the scope of GL's universe, and how the power rings reflect the personality of the wearer. As opposed to the standard trope of either being born with power, like Marvel's mutants (X-Men) & gods (Thor) or DC's aliens (Superman), being granted them by powerful organizations like the government (Captain America) or the rich (Iron Man), or by accident (Spider-man), the GLverse mixes all...

In the last Green Lantern Corps volume, I lamented that my favorite Green Lantern, Kyle Rayner, who was a big part of the Recharge limited series that re-introduced the Corps back into the DC Universe and publication was nowhere to be found. I felt that in Recharge, Kyle served as a good foil to Guy Gardner, who was the embodiment of machismo (and the inevitable mocking of said machismo as expressed by DeMatteis and Giffen in the pages of Justice League International in the late 80s) and as

The reformed Green Lantern Corps continues to thrive as more adventures are told here.First off is Guy Gardner who is annoyed that his time for shore leave has been cut short as he ends up being sent by the Guardians to perform an interesting mission, one that involves a mandatory kill order to be issued. Partnered with the beautiful and enthusiastic R’amey Holl, Guy’s moral compass wavers as he becomes a member of the elite Green Lantern Corpse. This Corpse is an extremely secretive unit true w...

This book was... surprisingly gorier than I expected. But still, a pretty solid graphic novel. The first story arc looked at the "dark side" of the Green Lantern Corps (those who are basically licensed to kill). It was a more intense story, but I particularly liked that Guy Gardner came out on the moral high ground--maintaining that killing is vengeance, not justice. He may be a loudmouth, but he's a loudmouth with a strong moral compass. Add into that some solid comic book action--namely with a...

The title to this one is pretty fitting, as Guy Gardner begins to see the less glamorous side of the newly formed Corps. He not only learns of a shadowy special unit of undercover Lanterns called the Corpse, but then he's also framed for murder and on the run! The series continues to be entertaining and colorful and a great gateway into the larger cosmic universe of DC comics.

Big improvement of the first volume, no cringey lines and charchters feel more like themselves again! While it is better it is still not on the level of Geoff Johns Green Lanterns books, absolutely worth a read though, even though I have to say Dave Gibbons is not an author I like very much

Great example of story planning across titles and writers. The second storyline is really setting up for the Sinestro Corps war AND is peppered with subtle references to Blackest Night years before it came out! Truly consistent storytelling with great characters who have been granted power because they were judged worthy of it. The wonderful thing about the Corps is that you get true characters with compelling back-stories who you care about; not just fillers.The first story-arc was the true "da...

Guy's really grown on me.(that was your cue to make a Gardner joke)
