A tie-in to DC’s Brightest Day arc, this trade was sold as the perfect jumping on point for new readers (before the New 52 was announced by DC). As a long-time reader, I can assuredly say that the claim is bollocks.
There’s a ton of assumed knowledge here, meaning it’s not the world’s greatest spot to ‘jump on’. That said, if you’re a long-time fan of Green Lantern, this trade has tons to offer.

Oft-annoying ringslinger Guy Gardner gets the spotlight in this volume, following up on his pact with Red Lantern leader Atrocitus and former Gardian-turned-Lantern Ganthet. It would appear that a new threat to the Lantern Corps is arising in the uncharted sectors of space, and Guy's stubborn attitude is best-suited for the task of finding it out. Sidekicked by fellow GL members Kilowog and Arisa, Guy does his best to hide the truth of the mission - only to run headlong into more conflicts that...more

I really wish I could rate this higher. But sadly, outside of the fact that Guy Gardner is written almost perfectly, there are just some real holes in the story that led to it being really entertaining to me instead of really awesome.
Red Lantern Guy Gardner is always going to be a bright spot for me in comics, but I really wish Arisa were written as more than concern for her man. It's really frustrating given she can be so much more. Killowog's growing stress at the low life expectancy of new l...more

Whatever Peter Tomasi was doing right when he began writing the Green Lantern Corps title has definitely faded. Yes, he gets Guy Gardner's characterization correct, but previously well defined characters such as Arisia and Kilowog are barely two dimensional.
The plot holes are just too big to ignore. The Guardians permitted unexplored territories? Since when, they're the one who divided the universe into 3600 sectors to be patrolled by the Corps. Sodam is freed from Daxam's sun, and now he is be...more

If you haven't been reading Green Lantern for a while, this is going to be pretty confusing, so I'm not sure why this is labeled as a perfect jumping on point for new readers. Heck, parts of it had even me trying to remember what some of this stuff was about, and I'm pretty up to date on the Green Lantern universe. So if you're new to these guys, Don't Start Here.
If you're not new, then I think this you will probably enjoy this.

Pasarin's art is really good! I love these characters, Tomasi picked just who I would have picked. Guy Gardener, Kilowog, and Arisia on a secret mission in uncharted space! (it's fun to see Kilowog as the MOST reasonable one on the team) Oh, the villian is quite the ghoul! And Sodam Yat is back as well! I was eager to see more of the big baddie: it'll be quite a War of the Lanterns.
Guy Gardner, Atrocitus and Ganthet "together" on a secret mission (I put it in quotes 'cause they're allies but are working in different parts of the Universe)? Awesome. This has been a great new series by Tomasi. The writing has been really well done, and Pasarin provides some great art to go with it. A definite read for any GL fan.
Collects issues #1-7 of GL: Emerald Warriors.

Not much of a fan of Guy Gardner, although this volume did show a few different sides to his personality, instead of his regular, angry-snarky side. Finally, Guy has decided to fulfill his side of the pact he made with Ganthet and Atrocitus... The outcome of that pact isn't exactly clear, but it involves some three-eyed, snake-guts bad guy headquartered in the uncharted zone of the universe. Along the way he gets side-tracked by a trip to Daxam to discover what happened to Sodam and to learn why...more
And now I want to read more! Don't know how the payoff will be, so the rating may go up or down. Still, the art is great, the characters are interesting (for once the focus isn't Hal, Carol or Sinestro) and the plot is engaging. I need to know how this will play out, despite the fact that the good guys usually win.
These GL stories just aren't working for me. I'm beyond tired of the Red Lanterns, the space snakes were awful, and the the lame new villain added nothing. They keep trying to match the epic-nature of Blackest Night, but now it's just getting old.
Brilliant art to complement Tomasi's driven Guy Gardner who is going to get the mission done come hell or high water. A well written story about the Green Lantern universe.
The entire run of Blackest Night/Brightest Day was an amazing read that involved the entire DC universe. The good thing about this book is that you do not need to have read all the other books to enjoy this series.
Now I have to find the War of the Green Lanterns, I guess a Comic Book readers work is never done.... :)

Unnecessary.
A great nail biter, as the Green Lanterns head off into a forbidden sector of space and each one has an agenda all their own. The twists and turns this book takes makes it well worth the reader's time.
