Green Lantern: In Brightest Day is a compilation, selected by Geoff Johns, of various comics of other artists and writers who have worked on creating this vast world of the Green Lanterns. This comic is more about the Green Lantern corps and the universe they guard, rather than tales of the more popular Green Lantern of Earth, Hal Jordan. The first comic is though of Hal Jordan taking on one of the biggest challenges to the Corps, Sinestro. But as more works are presented, we are introduced to m...more
This really doesn't have anything to do with Brightest Night, or even really with Darkest Night. It's a series of past stories starring the Green Lanterns, including at least one story with each of the Earth Lanterns. Johns selected the comics and gives an introduction to each. The idea being to give readers new to the Green Lantern mythology an introduction. Like Infinite Crisis Companion before it. The stories range from 1961 to 1994. It's a pretty good selection of stories, actually, includin...more
An interesting selection of Green Lantern stories picked by Geoff Johns. This book has stories about all four Earth lanterns, which was cool, as well as some stories about other Corps Members. My favorite is probably still Alan Moore's story about Mogo. You can tell Johns picked some stories in regard to his Blackest Night.
What annoyed me a little was that parts of the book were poorly put together - Todd Klein (awesome as he is) was credited for a lot more stories than the one he wrote. It migh...more

Reprints various Green Lantern stories. Geoff Johns selects stories that influenced his current Green Lantern tales and illustrates the Green Lantern's abilities. The stories are hit and miss. Some are good; some are average. He makes some interesting choices, and some obvious choices. I almost wish he had just created a "Green Lanterns' firsts" collection where it was entirely first appearances and occurances of Green Lantern abilities.
Comics Veteran, Geoff Johns, selects a handful of the most important issues from Green Lantern history to set the stage for the current storyline, "The Blackest Night." This is an excellent introduction to the mythos of the Green Lantern Corps. Highly recommended for folks who did not read Green Lantern growing up - or folks who just can't get enough of the Corps.
Most of my Green Lantern knowledge comes from The Super Friends, so for me this was a great collection of stories. It introduced a lot of characters and shed some light on the Green Lantern universe. This is the perfect place to start if you are looking to get into Green Lantern comics.
It is collection of short stories about different green lanterns Abin Sur, Hal Jordan, John Stewart, Moga, Kyle. 2 of the stories in this collection are by Alan Moore.
So many stories always want to read it more than once and so many Green Lanterns it is amazing.
Worth reading for Green Lantern fans.
I learned so much about the DC Universe from this book. Stuff I didn't know before. Like that the Guardians can over see Superman.
