Such a kick-ass start to this phase of the Corps, Geoff Johns and Dave Gibbons were firing on all cylinders in this first volume, been a while since I've read space opera this fun, intense and exciting, books like these reminds me of how bad modern Star Wars and Trek really are.

One of the best comics I’ve ever read, I was really enjoying green lantern before but now I’m in love with it. I think I like the corps titles better than the regular green lanterns but I’ll have to see. I really liked the moor focus on Kilowog, Kyle Rayner, Guy Gardener, Vath Sarn, and Isamot Kol, who along with Hal Jordan are for now at least my favorite green lanterns! Can’t wait to read the next title! 100% recommend for any dc fan even if you know absolutely nothing about Green Lantern!

This was pretty good!It starts with new recruits like Soranik, Isamot and others and well they are reluctant at first and we see them grow within the story and being set on missions in pairs, Kyle and Guy on some planet in Vega system to rescue Soranik and Isamot and Vath on some other and then these stories intersect and they have to face Bolphunga and Fatality and later Spider guild and its an epic story the way its told and its so worth it and you get to see Guy, Sora and Kyle so well and lik...

Recharge. Green Lantern Corps: Recharge had a different purpose than Green Lantern: Rebirth. Where Rebirth had to redress Hal Jordan's character assassination, all Recharge had to do wasrebuild the Green Lantern Corps. And, it does. On the one hand we get the return of Green Lanterns that managed to survive Green Lantern: Emerald Twilight, such as Salaak, Kilowog, and Green Man. However, more importantly Johns introduces a trio of new Lanterns who, alongside the three extra Earth Lanterns, becom...

I’m not sure what the missing ingredient here was... but I didn’t love this.I didn’t feel like the newly introduced characters were fleshed out very well, I had a lot of trouble caring about the main plot, and nothing really grabbed me. The art was ok. Some of the action and effect art was cool, but the faces through me off. I’d love to hear someone who loved this explain why

This was a better story than No Fear, but pretty heavy handed in its message even for a comic book. We get introduced to new characters (and current favorites or at least familiar faces) Vath Sarn, Isamot Kol & Soranik Natu who all have their issues with being picked to be in the the Corps. But with Kilowog, Kyle Rayner & Guy Gardner reassembling a new army of GL's, they refuse to let them quit. It also helps that there's a new plot involving black holes and sucking the universe's energy for som...

I couldn't get into this for several reasons, not the least of which is that I didn't enjoy the art. It was diffuse and reminiscent of older comics from several decades ago, when artists in the comics industry were still transitioning between the visual storytelling of comic strips to that of comic books and graphic novels. The messages in these issues were extremely heavy-handed, even for comics, and even for Green Lantern comics. I lost count of how many times I was smacked in the he face with...

This spins out of Green Lantern Rebirth. The Green Lantern Corps is back with a ton of new members. My favorite thing about Green Lantern has always been the corps I think it’s such an amazing idea so I love seeing books like this that focus on the GLC. The art was great in here as well and really fit the story. Also Soranik is awesome.

So this one is a hard review. It isn't a bad story but not good either. It's also both required and something you likely could skip depending on your need for completeness with the whole GL storyline. I think there is two faults with this book. One is the lack of a memorable villain for it. The Spider Guild of Vega is very obscure and at no point do you feel the GLC won't overcome them. The second one is that the artwork is very inconsistent. Some panels are great highly detailed and well drawn,...

The story itself was ok but I found the art work far too busy and hard to read. It spoiled my enjoyment.

Definitely like a 3.5I really liked Gleason's art, sometimes it's more cartoonish and sometimes there's a lot of detail and a lot going on. The writing did a good job of making personalities feel specific and distinct but some of the character development and dialogue was a little sudden/on the nose. That said I still really liked Soranik Natu, I think someone who's predominantly a doctor is a cool character shift for a green lantern that I haven't seen before.

Wait...this was REALLY good. Also, Soranik Natu fan cam incoming

Overall, a good story about the origin of the 'Rebirth' of the Green Lantern Corps, although at times very hectic and disorienting, with art that is crisp though at times uneven. As one can expect from the return of the Green Lantern Corps (expanded from 3,600 to 7,200 members), there are a lot of new faces and characters, some more appealing than others. I'm curious to see how this story will affect future Green Lantern storylines.

This was VERY fun to read! I absolutely love the sci-fi aspect of this story combined with the power of imagination. The entire arc takes place off-earth and doesn't even focus on Hal Jordan or John Stewart, the two Green Lanterns I'm most familiar with. I can tell that this introduced a lot of characters I hope to see more of, including Salaak, Isamot Kol and Vath Sarn as well as Soranik Natu. Overall a really enjoyable book and I'm definitely looking forward to how this series improves. Love i...

In the mid-2000's, Geoff Johns not only rebooted and revitalized the Green Lantern mythos by bringing about the return of Hal Jordan, but also reintroduced the Green Lantern Corps as the primary peace-keeping force in the universe. This miniseries sees 7,200 power rings sent out across the universe, recruiting new members to rejuvenate the Corps. It features a great ensemble including Corps veterans like the Earth-bro Guy Gardner, the intimidating training officer Kilowog, and the by-the-book pr...

I've read Secret Origin and Rebirth, so now I'm moving on to whichever Geoff Johns Green Lantern books I can get through the library (which, unfortunately, is not all of them). Recharge follows Guy and Kyle and the rebuilding of the Corps. Since it's all one storyline, it was not as difficult for me to understand as Rebirth, which I found extremely difficult. However, the single storyline also makes the book seem very lightweight. It was a quick read, and it was okay. I'm not a big fan of Guy, a...

I've made it pretty clear that Hal Jordan is probably my least favorite Green Lantern. For those that don't feel like clicking the link, Jordan is the epitome of the privileged cis white male and as such is a boring subject for a person who possesses one of the most powerful weapons in the DC Universe. All of Jordan's replacements, up to and including Guy Gardner, who was the embodiment (and often target of ridicule because) of 80s unfettered "Rambo" like machismo. (More on this in a bit.) My fa...

Featuring Guy Gardner more than Kyle or Hal, this is about replenishing the ranks of the Green Lantern Corps. It follows Kyle's recharging of the central battery and thus allowing more power rings to be made. Suns are imploding and creating odd black-holes. A race of spiders in a part of the universe the Guardians have agreed not to police is also up to no good. Not a bad story but not awesome either. It's but a 6 issue story arc. If you follow Green Lantern, I'd say it's worth a read. If you do...

If you can read this and not decide that Guy and Kyle are the best around, then you have more perverse willpower than I! Sure, the resolution is a little too reminiscent of GL: Rebirth by Johns but the existing and new Green Lanterns are so fun that I can overlook little plot flaws!

With Parallax imprisoned once more, and Hal Jordan returned to the living, the Guardians decide it is time to finally rebuild the Green Lantern Corps. Similarly to Green Lantern Rebirth, Geoff Johns' 5-issue collaboration with legendary artist Dave Gibbons gave me enough reasons to care about a group I hardly knew of before, much less was invested in.Numerous crises (of both the general and capital 'C' variety) have left the DC universe a dark and dangerous place. What better way to remedy that
