THIS is why I love the corners of the DCU that Geoff Johns clearly has a controlling interest in. Despite the fact that he himself didn't write these issues, he's worked with Dave Gibbons to help lay the groundwork for the Sinestro Corps War and even Blackest Night, WAY back before (and during) Infinite Crisis! And the best part is, they did it by using an old Alan Moore GL story! It's also a credit to Gibbons and his company of artists (himself included) that the new rebuilt Corps feels genuine...more
While at first the story enticed me, by the time I had reached the halfway point of the volume it was starting to feel like more of the same, repeated with different characters. Honestly, it wasn't long after that part that I became completely bored with the story and simply scanned the rest of the volume in the vain hope that it might change, only to be disappointed. After a disappointing time reading the first volume, and having the same reaction from the second volume, I find that I am less e...more
I generally dislike DC comics, but the Green Lantern has always been the exception. What I really like about it is the scope of GL's universe, and how the power rings reflect the personality of the wearer. As opposed to the standard trope of either being born with power, like Marvel's mutants (X-Men) & gods (Thor) or DC's aliens (Superman), being granted them by powerful organizations like the government (Captain America) or the rich (Iron Man), or by accident (Spider-man), the GLverse mixes...more
More lead in to the Sinestro Corps War! The first part introduces the Green Lantern Black Ops division. This started as an entertaining Guy story, but by the end I thought it got a little too plot twisty for its own good. The next set of stories set up a subversive attack on the Corps resulting in several minor member deaths. I enjoyed parts of it, mostly Natu, but overall it was rather weak. This one is probably more like a 2.5 star.
Great example of story planning across titles and writers. The second storyline is really setting up for the Sinestro Corps war AND is peppered with subtle references to Blackest Night years before it came out!
Truly consistent storytelling with great characters who have been granted power because they were judged worthy of it. The wonderful thing about the Corps is that you get true characters with compelling back-stories who you care about; not just fillers.

This was cool. Sometimes the Corps book is more entertaining than the main Lantern book. I like Guy Gardner and enjoyed his time working with the black ops gang. Mogo's story was fun and I'm excited to see these guys through the Sinestro Corps War!
This was one of the better Corp books I've read. Less focued on Guy this time around. Intersting story with Mogo. Pretty enjoyable as a whole.
better writer, better arc.
i just wish they would've tied into the Sinestro Corps a little better. the regular GL series did a far better job at this.

I probably won't be reading many more in this series, didn't find the plot or characters very compelling.
The storyline for The Corpse was excellent. Definitely a darker side of the corps.
Tons of Sinestro Corp War set up. Good taste of things to come.
While the general plot and storyline are pretty good the art by Patrick Gleason and Dave Gibbons takes some of the seriousness away from the book. The ultra-cartoony aspects of the art also make it hard to take in some of the scenes. I usually focus on the writing first but here its hard to avoid. Overall, just a decent read that could have been so much better.
Wish R'amey would have stuck around a bit longer is all. Other than that, amazing as always <3 The gore and darkness of this volume was amazing. I adored it.
Continuing my fascination with the Green Lantern Corps. The first half of this book is great, the second half, so-so. What is it with me and the GLC?
