As reboots of a franchise goes, this is definitely one of the best. The horrors of Parallax and Sinestro come back to the forefront, but this isn't all just about Hal Jordan. This is about all the Earthly Green Lanterns.I feel spoiled and rather silly.I read the volumes leading up to and through the Blackest Night cycle, of which this began it, but I started several volumes after this one. I feel kind of stupid, now. This was very good. It also looks like I need to go back and read through all t...

Hal Jordan is back to kick ass! Featuring the Justice League and all (at this point) the earth lanterns.

This will be my 3d time reading this story, so I decided to check out the Absolute Rebirth from the library, instead of just Plain Old Rebirth.So, what's the difference?Well, this one is taller. You know, like physically bigger than a normal volume? Part of me thought it was cool, and the other part of me felt like I do when I accidentally request the large print version of a book.Oh, shiiiiit. This is fuckin' huge!Still, it's different with graphic novels, because bigger actually is better....

This is the first standalone Green Lantern title I've ever read. Zero Year Crisis in Time does not count, trust me. Hal Jordan has a long history. At some point he became Parallax and destroyed Coast City. That's no spoiler anymore. And now he's back from the dead, following his reign as Parallax and flying into a star. As I'm told. So Hal Jordan rescues a fighter pilot from crashing. It seems that he, Spectre (the spirit of vengeance) and capital P Parallax are all stuck in his fleshy meat sack...

It’s Batman vs. the Green Lantern Corps!!!Those jade weenies are causing problems on a galactic scale and it’s up to Bats to set those bastards straight. The Green Lanterns have their power rings. Batman is Batman. Nuff said.So Bats basically says, “I’m Batman.” Lobs a few well-placed batarangs, whips out his anti-Green Lantern kit and the Lanterns kneel before the greatness that is Batman.The End.Wow! Jeff, this sounds like the greatest Green Lantern book! Ever! Is this actually what happened?U...

Wow, that was exciting.It took a little while to really get started, seeing as I had to put all the pieces together. I didn't have any prior knowledge of what led up to any of this honestly, but I came out better than fine!This plot is really intricately designed, and I dig that. The dialogue was good and there were a lot of small cameos by other heroes aside from the Lantern Corps. The artwork was amazing.I really like that this introduces more of who the other Green Lanterns are. It focuses on...

Hal Jordan is born again! I bought this in its single comic book issues, but I chosen this TPB edition for being able of making a better overall review.This TPB edition collects “Green Lantern: Rebirth” #1-6.Creative Team:Writer: Geoff JohnsIllustrator: Ethan Van Sciver A GREEN LUNG CAN BE A GOOD THING! In a medical sense, if you have a “green lung”, without being a doctor, you can be sure that that can’t be a good thing, BUT……in a comic book sense, having a “green lung” can be a good thing

Hal Jordan, possibly the greatest of the Green Lanterns, battles with the two entities bonded with him, The Spectre and Parallax, for a second chance. Will he return to the land of the living and, if so, what will be waiting for him when he gets there...?First off, the very first super hero action figure I owned other than some Mego ones was the Green Lantern from the Super Powers collection. That being said, I only have a handful of Green Lantern comics in my collection. I picked this one up be...

This is how you do a proper superhero REBIRTH, everything about this book is just perfect, I'm starstruck by the flashy art and the cool space pop opera, and I'm now officially a Green Lantern fan.

I really enjoyed Green Lantern: Secret Origin and I think it was a great place for me to start: a simple origin story for Lantern newbies but still introducing cool mysteries and high concept science fiction. But I thought the real test was going to be this book, a tricky rebooting of a high fantasy cosmic saga and the return of the greatest Lantern, years after a number of other humans have taken up the mantle. Was I going to be lost and confused jumping into the middle of years of canon? Would...

Geoff Johns' mini-series depicting the rebirth… or should that be transfer of Hal Jordan from being the Spectre, and becoming the Green Lantern again. This bestselling series was a good read. 7 out of 12.

Great artwork, great story. This is everything a comic should be, I loved this story and I am not even a Green Lantern fan. A friend of mine showsed one of the comics in this series, so I got this one. If like me no do not have the greatest knowledge of the Green Lanterns everything you need to know is in the self contained volume.This story is the return of the greatest of the GLC Hal Jorden, but it is also a new lease on life for the whole GLC itself. The great thing is as much as this is a re...

For those following Hal Jordan's career you know he did some horrible things and without going into details I'll leave it at that though there are spoilers further below. I found the artwork engaging for an action piece with some of the frames overlapping and almost exploding to one another in an interesting fashion. You get the Justice League showing up as it takes on epic proportions, previous and current Green Lantern heroes and even a few people from the Justice Society (a la Earth 1, Earth

I probably came at this backwards, reading Rebirth so long after virtually every other Green Lantern story of note Johns has written. Oops. And as far as Johns's Lanterns go, this is good, but not the best. But maybe that's just me. Maybe if I knew (or cared) about Hal Jordan before Johns got his hands on him, I might be more moved when he returns to his old self. I might be able to get behind the sheer amount of fawning Johns is throwing at Hal. (He's the best Lantern ever! EVER!) And I might h...

Havent read much about Hal Jordan or the green lantern. Was told this was the place to start. I really enjoyed Johns writing here. Really fun story with great artwork. I loved seeing all the different characters, it provided a good overview of the green lantern world in a way. Will definitely continue this series.

In 2004 Kyle Rayner as Green Lantern wasn’t selling so DC decided to get Geoff Johns to reinstate the original Silver Age Green Lantern, Hal Jordan, as the main dude. Green Lantern: Rebirth is the book where it all went down - and what a sucky, overrated comic it is! This is an example of the writer/publisher having an agenda rather than a story because the main purpose of this book was to have Hal Jordan back as Green Lantern which Geoff Johns clumsily accomplishes but forgets to write much of

3.5 stars. While I am a big fan of superheroes, I have not read a whole lot of Green Lantern material so I may have liked this more than some fans who may have found inconsistencies in the description of the "power ring" mythos. For me, I thought the description of the rings power being based on "strength of willpower" of the user was excellent. In general, I am not a fan of "unlimited" powers and so liked the description of how "taxing" the use of the ring can be and how difficult/impossible it...

This is another one of those volumes where the 'likes' and 'dislikes' run head-on into each other.It was great to see Hal Jordan - who I think of foremost if / when I think of this particular superhero - clearing his name, so to speak, and resuming his work as his costumed alter ego. Ditto the scenes, which were my favorite in this book, where he's joined in battle by Earth's other GLs John Stewart, Kyle Rayner, and Guy Gardner. There's also a nice full-page rendering of a combined Justice Leagu...

This story arc --which reunites all the Green Lanterns of Earth's sector-- is greatly buoyed by its excellent artwork. Three sentient beings are inhabiting the same body, all struggling for dominance...how in the world does one capture that in a drawing? Yet artist Van Sciver is able to do it?There are some unnecessary battle scenes (as well as superfluous extra superheroes) but all in all this is a very entertaining story. Deep in some places but never boring. A very nice work.
