To be honest, this might be a 2.5 star scaled up for me. It starts off well enough, bringing back the Corps in a casually boot campish way. It's fertile ground for a wealth of stories, but the first few tales of their return (the Recharged mini-series notwithstanding) don't exactly spark the imagination. I haven't quite connected to these folks yet, and the Guy Gardner two-issue arc is a throwback to his glory days. (Which is where he was the most one-note to be honest). As a piece in the wider

This one is so hard to rate cause there is such high points and low points. I go with a 4 but it's likely a 3.5. The narrative is mostly split between three stories. The continuing journey of Natu trying to adjust to being a lantern despite her people still hating them from the the time of Sinestro (the best of the three). The uneasy partnership of Isamot the Lizardkon of Thanagar and Vath the Rannian (weakest story in my opinion). Finally the misadventures of Guy Garner as the newly minted Hono...

While the main Green Lantern series detailing Hal Jordan's reintroduction to the DC universe was all the rage, this series was giving us stories from the other members of the newly reformed Green Lantern Corps, the intergalactic police force keeping peace in the galaxy. And it was just as awesome. Hal Jordan's book is much more of a standard superhero story but what's great and refreshing about this is that it's less of a superhero book and more of an ensemble space cop serial, about the adventu...

This is a decent green lantern story but after reading John's and Humphies runs it's hard to be blown away by this. So this focuses on the "other" green lanterns. You know, the ones no one really puts on their top 3 (Well except maybe Guy) but that's what this is about. What do the other green lanterns who aren't the "chosen" ones deal with? We get to see how easily you can get killed in space, and this is basically a revenge story wrapped up in Space Cop Drama. Good: I liked the characters. I a...

This book series began with the entire resurgence of Green Lantern, and despite the fact that most spin offs stink, this book was quite enjoyable to read.

Having read the more recent compilations, I deliberated whether this was a needed read and whether to add to my collection. But having seen it on sale, I figured what the heck and went on and got it. Of course I should, shame on me for claiming to be a huge Green Lantern fan and not have this, right? :)Now, the whole compilation feels more of a stitching of different back stories of different Lanterns of the Corps and although its more of supplementary reading, it is not really required in order...

Oh you Horta love them space cops, the good with the bad. Man I loved the Corps book growing up, they had enough space opera and crazy space action to make me smile. I love it when you have weird aliens, different zany worlds and quick and bombastic story telling. This is exactly what you have here with this relaunch, but not all things are rosy, there are a little but if iffy stuff to be found here. World: The art is fine, it serves it purpose but honestly it's a step down from the main series....

Love Green Lantern and I have been reading the current series by the issue, so it was finally time to get some backstory and see how some of the normal characters I know from current issues came to be. This TPB has a really interesting murder mystery, some good Guy Gardener action and the introduction of Soranik Natu.

What I learned from this book? That I really, really, really like Guy Gardner. Huh.

I just don't even care about Guy. I finished this for the sake of the reading order, but it was a struggle.

So in my reviews of Geoff Johns Green Lantern I've not been shy about my dislike of the character of Hal Jordan, so much so that when I read the reboot of the Green Lantern Corps called Recharge I went out of my way to note how I even liked reading Guy Gardner more than Hal, and that Johns and Dave Gibbons (who is the primary writer of this volume) had effectively used my favorite Green Lantern, Kyle Rayner as an effective foil to Gardner's machismo, which in certain moments we learn is

I'm currently going through the Geoff Johns Green Lantern run and alongside that is a GLC (Green Lantern Corps) run that I've been told helps fill in the blanks and spaces where Johns massive run may have been unable to. They include the first volume titled Recharge.(BTW for anyone who wants the list I'm working off of it's this https://comicvine.gamespot.com/forums... - massive credit to user jb681131 as it's very detailed and other than some deeper digging and some trade collecting variation w...

An entertaining, if inconsistent first volume moves the spotlight away from Greatest And Most Important Green Lantern Ever Hal Jordan(tm). It focuses instead on a wider cast of Lanterns and what the job of a space cop actually looks like, with all its highs and lows.While multiple other Lanterns make an appearance, new recruit Dr. Soranik Natu and rowdy rough boy Guy Gardner are the focal characters of most of this volume. The first three issues feature a murder investigation with both intrigue

Pretty disappointing for a green lantern title. Lots of what I lived about Green Lantern Racharge was stripped away in this book. Almost no Kilowog, No Kyle Rayner, No Hal Jordan, and Guy Gardner was annoying and not in a funny way like usual. They had no central antagonist and all of the antagonists were horrible except Ranx imo. From the end of the book it seems like Ranx will be the central antagonist in the next book, and I hope so because besides the last 2 issues this one was pretty underw...

A decent (even if predictable mystery) + a chance to let Green Lanterns OTHER than Hal Jordan shine + solid humor + tons of Guy Gardner (my personal favorite GL) = A really fun, engaging read. That's not to say it didn't have it's "real" moments, but this was a nice refresher from some more "mainstream" Lantern stories, allowing fans to see what some adventures in the rest of the Corps. And I also enjoyed the gratuitous amount of Guy Gardner. What can I say... he amuses me.

I really enjoyed this, it works great alongside Johns’ main Green Lantern series. Soranik is definitely my favorite part of this, she’s such an interesting character and I really like her history I’m interested to see where they take her character.

Why is this series not also collected in a series of omnibus!? As far as I'm concerned this is essential reading for Geoff Johns' main series, and I'm not even on the Tomasi portion of the run yet. I'll say it right now, Soranik Natu might be my favourite Lantern. She's the most interesting character in all of this series. Her story here is engaging, well written and intriguing. I love that Gibbons uses her character to call out Guy Gardner on his bullshit bravado, and yet simultaneously makes h...

In this compilation, we see more of Soranik Natu, facing challenges and standing up to her own kind who call her a traitor to Korugar. Also, the stories feature Guy Gardner teaming up with new recruits and fighting off a menacing planet. There is treason, murder, anger management, relationship failures, and a growing revenge.

There are several stories in this book. The one about Soranik on Betrassus and the one with Vath and Isamot were both really good. But the other ones aren't so great. One involves Guy getting attacked by Bolphunga, which was not very good at all, and the other has Guy and another Lantern going to Ranx, which was okay. At least that one has significance later on in the Sinestro Corps War.

The Green Lantern comics continuously improve the more I read them. This one, the official start of the Green Lantern Corps comic book series focused heavily on Guy Gardner and his adventures as the traveling leader of the Green Lantern Honor Guard. The depth and detail of this series continues to grow and is easily one of the most fun comics I've read in a while!
