Great graphic novel

Love this. It's a bit geeky. It's like those power trump cards you had as a kid. It gives you a who's who of the Sinestro corps and why they're selected. Some good stories in here, especially distipollis the virus that killed over 8 billion people.

Some background tales of Sinestro Corps members and a few Green Lantern ones too. I really liked the first part of this but the last half seemed kinda filler, as it was Green Lantern Corps stuff and then files on different things involving this story. Still a great read.

I shouldn't give this five stars, but I'm usually a generous person when it comes to these ratings. I also loved it a lot, even though these stories have nothing to do with the main events. I would only suggest you read this if you really want some more information, rather than a complete story. But that was fine with me. I had more than enough story already. It's basically just a closer look at the Sinestro Corps and the people in it. There's also some needless character bios (I don't why I rea...

This was mostly background information for the Sinestro Corps War, but still very interesting. We get to see background stories providing motivation for Cyborg Superman and Superboy Prime as well as stories showing what Kyle Rayner was going through while possessed by Parallax and finally a story featuring the new Ion once the war is over. Great art and entertaining stories, and a great companion piece to the Sinestro Corps War.

I couldn't help rooting for Superman Prime, what with all the "good and noble" heroes bullying him. His Earth was lost forever. His Parents and childhood friend + girlfriend vanished for eternity. He saved an Earth to see it corrupt. Sacrifices to nothing.This showed me different perspective to the good vs. evil stories . It isn't difficult to differentiate a good person from a bad one. But when it all comes to agendas and convenience, one can certainly portray as good and fight against anyone w...

Very hand-hold-y. Kicked it up a star for the crack at Ann Coulter.

I think the only thing I had a problem with was the Superman-Prime issue. In trying to give some background info on him, it summarized Infinite Crisis, which I don't mind. But that summary was so long, I might as well have been actually reading Infinite Crisis. Also, I feel like anybody who is reading this book has probably already read Infinite Crisis, so was it really all that necessary? Maybe, maybe not. I mean, it was good, don't get me wrong.But anyway, I really liked everything in this boo...

Sinestro is back and things are told from his point of view so look out, Green Lantern lovers. Sure, Hal Jordan and other Green Lanterns make appearances but they're in the background.This is Sinestro's tale and even if he's a bad guy most of the time the universe needs him. He'll explain why in this book or have his PR people handle the matter.Good artwork that nails some of the Green Lantern stuff nicely.Questions? OVERALL GRADE: B to B plus.

3 ★ - 24/11/21A fun collection of tales from one of the Green Lanterns most famous and feared foes, Sinestro and his Sinestro Corps. Once the most decorated of the Green Lanterns, Sinestro was banished for ruling his assigned sector of the universe with fear, not willpower. After being exiled to the antimatter universe planet of Qward, Sinestro forged a yellow power ring powered by said fear. This novel follows tales of Sinestro, his followers (evening providing origins for some of the key membe...

The one shots and side stories that supplement the main Sinestro Corps War story.Cool insights into the supporting characters of this story; lots of myth-building; and an epilogue to SCW that reestablishes the new status quo of the Earth GLs.

Creepy book that is more of a filler, but it's still a great read.

Mostly a collection of 'filler' stories, but I enjoyed them all the same. Also, a list of who's-who in the back, if you're into that kind of thing. New readers be warned: The list is mostly made up of veeery secondary characters that you can easily live your entire life without ever knowing about.

3.5 starsI like villains, and I like all of the various lantern corps, so I was destined to like this at least a little bit. The direct tie-ins to the Sinestro Corps War story line were hit or miss. Ion and Parallax, for example, were kind of lame because they both have the emotional depth and personality of tissue paper. Cyborg Superman and Superman Prime, however, were actually really good. They let you see the story through the villain's point of view, and the heroes really do come across as

Seriously, is Johns even capable of writing non-bombastic dialogue? I ask because the first couple of chapters of this book are just horrible - stilted, theatrical (in the high school musical sense) and tone-deaf. It's imaginative sure - but a "bio virus"? How's that different from a virus - which is by its nature biological? Each of the mini-tales seems like something from 70's comics, and if it's an homage then bravo. But it doesn't mean I enjoy it any more than I enjoy reading that ancient te...

So I love this book because it is perfect for a person wanting to steep further in the lore of the GLC. Kinda has no placement because the stories are about how certain characters got their rings or came to be part of the Sinestro Corp. Portions of it are different perspectives of prior events ranging from origin stories to as recent as the Sinestro Corp War. It ranks as a 4 out of 5 for me because the last 20 or so pages arent an actual issue of story but rather a series of small expository sni...

Collection of one shots weren’t very exciting, the rest of Sinestro Corps is an absolute blast and on a re-read I think I would skip this book(tales of the sinestro corps) I’m glad I read it once but it’s not worth a re-read especially when the rest of Sinestro War is some of the best ever written matieral I’ve ever read. Period.

Since I hadn't read far enough back to get some of the backstories, it was nice getting a look at pieces of them.
