This is still, after reading it for the second time, the best part of Geoff johns green lantern run.
Holy poozers! This is action packed. The quick and dirty is that Sinestro has created his own army and seeks to destroy the Guardians, the Green Lantern Corps, and control the multiverse. And guess who's on his team? You'll never guess. (view spoiler)[Kyle Rayner has been invaded by Parallax, Superboy Prime has been freed from his prison (yes! wait, did I just root for a villain?), and Cyborg Superman and the Anti-Monitor (from Crisis) have been rebuilt. (hide spoiler)] This is event level actio...
Longer review possibly coming. STORY/PLOTTING/PANELS: B to B plus; CHARACTERS/DIALOGUE: B plus; ACTION: B to B plus; ARTWORK PRESENTATION: B to B plus; GREEN LANTERN MYTHOLOGY: B plus to A minus; OVERALL GRADE: B plus; WHEN READ: end of October 2013.
This has to be Geoff Johns best work if not could someone kindly tell me what is. I mean Jesus the amount of top tier baddies doing what baddies do best (i.e endlessly tormenting our heroes). Also the body count of fallen Green Lanterns in this volume alone is just mind blowing (I’m going to really miss you elephant’ish looking dude).Really looking forward to reading the next volume.
This book series is taking off like gangbusters. A must read!
Three and a half stars.Good story. Lots of action. High body count. And lots of characters popping up every page. Something that confused the hell out of me.As for the art, it was good. There were some rough spots, but it did its job: telling the story.High point for me is Sinestro. I'm really learning to appreciate him as a complex villain, who is evil but relatable. Next volume of story is on the way to my local library. Can't wait to read it.
This volume was the most action packed comic I've ever read, so many things happening in every pages, so many fights, so many deaths. It was everything i wanted from a GL book. The characters were awesome, Geoff Johns' writing was solid, and so was the art.
So. Following reading Green Lantern: Rebirth, I wanted some more. It was nice to visit that universe again and the book itself, though a ‘complete story’ (beginning, middle and end), really did have that ‘jumping off point’ feel to it. They were intentionally setting up what was to come and drawing a line from which new people could hop on and old fans like me could dive back in. Really, it was the precursor to the whole ‘Blackest Night’ mega event crossover thing (which I came to hate when I wa...
Great story that leads into the Blackest Night Storyline.
This is like.... the absolute definition of "that escalated quickly."
Holy shit! The events that occurred in this volume was off the charts! So many stuff happened. So many stupid decisions were made. Damn. This was good. This was very, very good! It's been said, again and again, that in order for a villain to be great, you, as a reader, have to be able to understand why they're doing all the fucked up shit they're doing. Sinestro is one of those villains. You hate him, but at the same time, you admire him for standing up for what he believes in. He believes fe...
Still one of the best events ever. Super high stakes, amazing fights, and some interesting twist. I did a much bigger review in my green lantern omnibus volume 1 review but Green Lantern Sinestro Corps War is some amazing stuff.
5 🌟The Green Lanterns and Sinestro Corps fight.
Meh... This was an okay read. So i think perhaps the reason why i gave this only a 3 stars is because it was over hyped, my one friend went on for years about how amazing this was, and now that i read it there was no way this book could match the over hype! So let me break it down, the story is that Sinestro has risen an army and wants to kill the green lantern corp... that's about it.. The Positives i would say would be Ivan Reis artwork, and the story did have some great moments, some of the f...
As fun as it is seeing the culmination of Hal Jordan's saga as the reborn Green Lantern, it is a major bummer that a major turning point in the plot revolves around authorizing the Green Lantern Corps to use lethal force. Turning space cops into killers as the only way to defeat the bad guys just doesn't sit right with me.
Enter the Sinestro Corps! This harcover TPB edition contains “Green Lantern: Sinestro Corps Special”, “Green Lantern” #21-23 and “Green Lantern Corps” #14-15. Featuring the first volume of the “Sinestro Corps War” event.Creative Team:Writers: Geoff Johns & Dave GibbonsIllustrators: Ivan Reis, Ethan Van Sciver & Patrick Gleason NOTHING WILL BE THE SAME ANYMORE In Blackest Day… In Brightest Night… Beware your fears made into light, let those who try to stop what’s right, burn like my power
Better to rule with a yellow ring than serve with a green one - one of the most striking images ever in comics - Superboy Prime as herald of Anti-Monitor - darkness illuminated.
This has an epic feel to it. The Green Lantern Corps really has its back against the wall in this story. It's fun to see the crazy variety of aliens that are in the Green Lantern Corps and the Sinestro Corps. Also, there are some really creepy art pieces of Sinestro as well that are worth looking at. I wasn't a fan of what happened to Kyle Rayner, though. He deserves a little more respect as a character.
This is the landmark story arc that change the Green Lantern mythos forever. Sinestro finds the yellow element of fear and with it creates his own Lantern Corps. to seemingly replace the Green Lanterns and the Guardians of the universe. Hal Jordan, Green Lantern of earth must face his fears in order to defeat Sinestro. DC Comics fans get exciting surprises in this volume like the "Crisis" villains the AntiMonitor, Super-boy Prime and Cyborg Superman. The action never slows down and you will be c...
