Fun story, nice to see Kyle Rayner front and center. We also get some cool history about the origins of Sinestro’s ring. Barely connected to the Brightest Day arc but still enjoyable.

Perhaps it's fitting that a much less hyped and overblown storyline comes off so much better than the cross-over heavy Blackest Night or Brightest Day. I'm not a huge fan of the Alpha Lanterns, and what develops in the "Revolt of the Alpha Lanterns" crystallizes all the reasons for them being a huge mistake. The supporting "Curse of the Alpha Lantern" storyline actually makes Alpha Lantern Boodikka less of a machine, which was a helpful piece of characterization for someone familiar with her bef...

5 🌟The Green Lanterns fight the Alpha Lanterns.

Nice. I like the design of the Alpha Corps, even if the concept seems to be so obviously flawed the Guardians should have known better. Cyborg-Superman had a great role in this. It was also cool seeing Ganthet become a Green Lantern. Liking it.

The Alpha Lanterns are sadly still a thing and here shows another reason they don't make sense especially after everything that went down during Blackest Night. The flashback to Boodikka's past is interesting but she's not as an Alpha. In the Green Lantern Corps book, I'm always hoping for stories involving lesser known Lanterns and we get that here but John and Kyle are still center stage. The villain is great and perfect for the storyline but it seemed very "by the numbers". Seeing the changes...

Like most Green Lantern titles, it starts out intriguing and ends up ri-freaking-diculous. It's all brawn and plot, no brain or character. Why do these space cops all end up talking and acting like WildC.A.T.S.?

The primary story was pretty good. I'm not that interested in the Alpha-Lanterns, but I actually enjoyed the Cyborg-Superman stuff. The back up story, "Curse of the Alpha-Lanterns," was an odd inclusion. I didn't enjoy that at all.

After the lukewarm effect and occasional and varied Geek peak of emotion that I got recently from watching the Green Lantern flick with Ryan Reynolds, I wanted something more substantial and a real green fix to lay a hold on me.Luckily I spotted the recent compilation of Green Lantern Corps at my local bookstore. It is the Brightest Day tie-up and entitled Revolt of the Alpha Lanterns. Now for most of those familiar, the Lantern Universe was rocked to the core most recently with, Blackest Night

Really enjoying my time in the Green lantern universe. There's some misses but for the most part, it ranges from good to great. This isn't on the highest level but it's still pretty dang fun. So this is about the Alpha Lanterns. They were created to be super charged, super strong, emotionless fighter. However, when they begin to take over regular lanterns, things get pretty fucked up for our crew. However, we find out someone mysterious is behind it all! You may have guessed it as he's been a th...

The Revolt of the Alpha Lanterns starts with John Stewart and Boodikka going to investigate a machine planet were Stel disappeared. John soon discovers that the Alpha Lanterns are under someone else's control. Shocking. It is up to Kyle Rayner, Soranik Natu, and Ganthet to stop them. This story was just really lame and predictable. I could see every twist coming a mile away. The villain's motivations have always been and are still dumb. Also, this story did not change the status quo that much. I...

This was good, but I have never been all that interested in the Alpha Lanterns, so I was probably less overwhelmed than some. However, I was thoroughly entertained the entire time I was reading, and that counts for a lot in my book.I'm also jacking up my rating a little bit, because (view spoiler)[since Ganthet becomes a Green Lantern, and a 'cure' is found for the emotionless Alpha Lanterns in this one, (hide spoiler)] I would consider this a must-read for any GL fan.

It doesn't surprise me that this Green Lantern Corps. volume flat lined like the rest of the crossover series is was tied into. Brightest Day was a monstrous low-point in the DCU, and "Revolt of the Alpha Lanterns" is no better. It starts off with some promise, intrigue, mystery as to why Alpha Lanterns are abducting and converting Green lanterns into Alphas, but soon, it is obvious that the writer is only interested in forwarding plot points, so the story has no exposition, no character develop...

As a comic book writer Tony Bedard used to have a good grasp of how to mix space opera with a little superheroics. I could wonder if the problem here is changes ordered by the editor, but I think Bedard's writing has slipping for awhile now, and I've just not wanted to acknowledge it.Either 1) give me a story that I enjoy and care about or 2) characters I can become interested in. This volume fails to do either. I usually like John Stewart, but not here, because he is just "here". This does appe...

In the wake of Blackest Night former Green Lantern editor and Geoff Johns collaborator Peter Tomasi moved on from Green Lantern Corps to write Green Lantern: Emerald Warriors (at the moment of this writing on my to-read list) which appears to "star" Guy Gardner, who up until this moment had been one of the main characters along with Kyle Rayner of this book. (I'm getting this from the fact that a scene that features Ganthet, Guy and Atrocitus appears both in this volume and Green Lantern:...

In the aftermath of the Blackest Night Omnibus, Ganthet becomes a Green Lantern, he and Guy Gardner make a mysterious pact with Atrocitus, and Kyle, John, and Soranik Natu go on a mission to investigate the corruption of the Alpha Lanterns by an unknown power! This series has been consistent entertainment and it hasn’t lost a step during the transition of the writing duties from Tomasi over to Tony Bedard. As usual the book is a refreshing time away from the Hal Jordan superhero antics in the ma...

In an earlier book by Geoff Johns, we learned of the creation of the Alpha Lanterns, selected from among the Green Lantern Corps (those who have the ability to enforce the law) and who serve as an Internal Affairs Department of sorts.In this storyline, some of the Alphas have begun forcibly taking other Lanterns and making them join the Alphas, which is no mean feat considering that the Alphas undergo a strange surgical process making them, in effect, a living power battery; they're no longer fu...

Fairly standard tale that is more than the sum of it's parts because of the emotional core of the story.Boodikka is one of the more interesting Lanterns in the Corps and this story which is a final full circle for her arc made it special for me. World: The art is good, the power of the rings is very apparent with the art. The force and the movement is strong and this is an action movie from top to bottom. The colors are also nice with the green everywhere but not overpowering. The world building...

This was an ok Corps story, but what I'm waiting for is the next one story arc, when the Weaponers of Qward come back with a vengence. Anyways, this story is about the creation of some new "Alpha Lanterns" who are the Guardians attempt at meshing the new Green Lanterns with the old Manhunters by literally combining some of the top lanterns with machine and trying to remove their emotion. Doesn't go over to well, but isn't a reversible procedure. Good read, but like I said: the next book is where...

Not as good as Tomasi's run. Not as unique/memorable; is missing those personal character moments; and the story doesn't flow as well between issues.Not to say this is bad by any means. Still a pretty good sci-fi action comic with a heartwarming and satisfying ending.

Green Lantern Corps as a title has been a bit hit and miss.In the early days it felt very much a cash-in. A sense of “Here’s our B-list characters doing some stuff too!” crept in, and the stories were a bit weak while the title found its feet. The prelude to Blackest Night improved the quality somewhat, but the question remained: after Blackest Night, would this loose Brightest Day tie-in be any good?Pleasingly, the answer is yes. Ardian Syaf’s art is clean, appropriately spectacular, and captur...
