He loves me. He loves me not. He loves me? He loves me not?
Geoff Johns, it's as if you're flipping a coin to see which books you will write with loving care and which you will make a completely confusing waste of time. In all honesty, pre-Nu52, I was never all that impressed with your work (not counting the Hawkman revamp which was awesome), and pretty much hated everything you did involving the GL series. But this? This?! You must really, really love us.

The uneasy alliance of Sinestro (former Yellow Lantern and sworn enemy of Green Lantern Hal Jordan) and Hal Jordan continues from the last book. Sinestro has discovered a plot by the Guardians of the Galaxy (who lead the Green Lantern Corps) to get rid of the Green Lanterns and control the universe with a mysterious "Third Army." Before Sinestro has a chance to drag Jordan back into the action, the mysterious Indigo Tribe (who wield the light of compassion) drags Sinestro back to their home worl...more
Green Lantern Volume 2: Revenge of the Black Hand by Geoff Johns is part of the “New 52” series of comics by DC. This actually picks up issues 7-12 of Green Lantern and Green Lantern Annual #1 from the “New 52” series. This series was DC’s reboot of their universe, starting some characters over, introducing new ones, changing existing characters, and trying to introduce new readers to the series without having to follow all of the back-stories and changes from the prior storylines. With that sai...more
I'll be honest and say that the only reason why I picked up this title is because I heard a new Green Lantern would replace Hal Jordan in this book. I've nothing against Hal Jordan, but I honestly can't say I'm a big fan. As it is, and given my admittedly limited knowledge of Green Lantern lore, and I enjoyed this volume a lot. Maybe Geoff Johns should just stay away from writing team books because while the Justice League is kind of terrible, this book and Aquaman are anything but.
This book's a tick or two off top notch. Seems a bit odd to have Black Hand return as the villain again so soon after the previous huge Green Lantern event. The pacing is a bit manic, afraid to slow down for a moment. And I totally do not understand what's going on with the Guardians. I just can't see them turning on a dime and becoming evil overnight, each and every one of them, en masse. There's more coming to the story, so it's not all wrapped up in this book. I'll have to wait and see what h...more
Awesome! I loved learning more about the Indigo Tribe and the introduction of the First Lantern. I also liked bringing back Black Hand. The only thing that kept this from a five star rating was it not feeling like a complete story but rather a section of the larger story. While I understand that it is just that, many other trade paperbacks have a cohesive story that is part of a larger storyline.
Still going pretty good but one of those storylines that gets too complicated with the Indigo tribe not really adding much value. Bringing back black hand is interesting but just a sideline it appears. However, the conversion of Sinestro to Indigo tribe etc is well handled and executed.
Geoff Johns continues his masterpiece run on GL. The uneasy partnership between Hal Jordan and Sinestro continues. I won't give too many spoilers but go in with low expectations for the Black Hand part and you'll be fine.
Once again annother great read fro Geoff Johns. He has the gift of writing great stories and of course he brought Hal Jordan back from the dead and revitalized the whole Green Lantern universe and made it one of the lynch pins of DC comics. I'm counting the days already till the next trade comes out.
An interesting twist to this ongoing story. I can't really offer anything on the writing or artwork as that continues at the same level as I have grown accustomed to seeing from this group. Top notch all the way around.
I just won this book in a good reads giveaway and I was incredibly excited to receive it. it's the first green lantern story that I've read and I really enjoyed it. it opened the door to me wanting to read more green lantern. the art in this book is wonderful. and the story is intriguing. it kept me on the edge of my seat waiting to see what would happen next. I really liked how many different elements were involved in this story. I really want to read the rest of this series now that I've read...more
I was impressed by the first volume in this new 52 run but now I'm blown away. Green lantern proves to be the smartest and most diverse series in the DC universe.
Fantastic. Gives some history on the Indigo tribe. The all-powerful Black Hand is back. Sets the story up for the coming Third Army.
Geoff Johns run on Green Lantern is quite simply epic. He continues to bring an incredible depth to this mythology. The relationship between Hal Jordon and Sinestro is perfectly written. Geoff never stops giving the comic fan or sci fi fan a great moral tale and allowing the reader to fall in love with his characters. I am bit sad to see he will be introducing a new Green Lantern when I am so invested in seeing if Sinestro becomes a hero and finding out if in fact Hal Jordon will be the greatest...more
Still a wonderful story arch, but this book series is seriously teetering on the edge of greatness or disaster.
Sinistero is a GL?! Booyah I wanna see how Hal and Sinistero work together. This is going to be good!
I continue to like the Sinestro/Jordan bromance, and the buildup to the Third Army stuff.
Good solid Saturday morning comic, went well with a late brunch
The book is starting to build tension for too long.
I won this book through Goodreads giveaway.
Usually I'm a Marvel girl but I really liked this series. Sinestro is an interesting character and I wish they'd focus more on him then Hal.

So much better than the first volume, but that's not to say that it wasn't set up for this one.. Loved the Black Hand as the villain and the struggles Hal faces as a Lantern. Plus, hello! Zombies...
Continues right where volume 1 left off and keeps the momentum going. Interesting bits about the origin of the Indigo tribe as well as some great Black Hand action (and a crazy ending).
+ Prelude to Wrath of the First Lantern storyline

- Sinestro part of Indigo tribe back and forth *sigh*
