This started out looking like it was going to be better than Green Lantern: Rebirth and then suddenly the last 1/3rd dropped in quality of writing quite a bit. It went from focusing on Kyle Rayner and Guy Gardner (and Kilowog) and making me <3 Kyle even more than I already do and making me think there's more to Guy's character than I had previously thought to an advertisement for the US Army or Marines. Which, obviously, the whole Green Lantern CORPS thing means that its going to be difficult...more
This was just what I needed... a great science fiction stories with some super hero action. The Green Lantern Corps has been reassembled, with Guy Gardner, Kyle Raynor and Kilowog as the main characters. More rings have been created, and the story begins with different power rings searching for new Green Lanterns across the galaxy. The ring finds a young doctor to represent her sector, but she initially refuses membership because the Green Lantern Corps are reviled on her homeworld. There's a co...more
This is the mini-series leading into the green lantern spin-off series Green Lantern Corp. Just as good as the other green lantern books. Just beautifully drawn, great story, great characterization, all around fun. Again, I got kind of giddy reading it. Just so much fun. Really like how these are about teamwork and taking care of your friends and less about any one person stealing the show. Everyone is needed, everyone contributes, they only survive because they stick together. God I'm a nerd.
Neat enough little space adventure story with a total ignorance of the physics behind stars and black holes. This one seems to push a bunch of new characters into the Corps, but none of them are particularly fleshed out. As big as the explosions are, the story doesn’t feel like anything special. The most impressive things are theoretical – just that they exist in the book. For instance having met so many Gaia worshippers and reading about the earth as a life form, it’s really cool to see the Gre...more
This is a great follow up to Green Lantern: Rebirth. Geoff Johns does an excellent job spotlighting the Green Lantern Corps. It is action packed and shows how each Lantern stuggles to overcome their own fears whether if it is Insecurity and a lack of faith in themselves and others.
This is a great companion series to Green Lantern.

2.5 Stars. The first three issues are strong character development for Kyle Rayner, Kilowog and especially Guy Gardener. The last two are okay, but they're very cliche fighting and inspirational speech to victory type deals. This is a very strong introduction to the new Corps and a promising start to the revised series.
For some reason, I'm a sucker for these Green Lantern Corps graphic novels. They're like space cops, but better. Sometimes the story is only okay, and now and again a horrible artist will substitute, but I can't shake this title. Nevermind any connections to the Superman universe or all the other DC hoopla, this is just an interesting world to get pulled in to.
With Hal Jordan returned to the center of the Green Lantern series, Green Lantern Corps: Recharge reestablishes the Green Lantern Corps and introduces some new faces. The action focuses on familiar faces Kyle Rayner, Guy Gardner and Kilowog as they train the new recruits. New lantern Natu also gets considerable attention.
Geoff John's writing is up to its usual high standards. The pace is fast and even if the plot isn't that memorable, it's a fun read. The art work is colorful, if a bit too carto...more

Sooooooo much fun. There are occasional storytelling problems with the art, but otherwise this was a blast and a half.
Space spider guilds, webs of black holes, a whole new core, and Guy Gardner. What isn't to like here poozer?
man, i love Green Lantern. i thought this was a fun read, though it probably could've been a more engrossing story.
Apparently this is important to later storylines, but this one's just a bad story with bad art.
Horrible art with a few moments that were mediocre at best. Stay away unless you are a completest.
Much better than the regular comic. Dave Gibbons influence, I suspect.
Nice restart of the GL Corps, where they are treated as a mix of Jedi and cops. Nicely done and I liked the mix of characters.
Great example of how to do a set up/introduction story arc to a series.
Reads like a cosmic cop TV show. Lots of fun.

Nice way to jump start the GLC!
Again, Johns' writing is sharp and engaging.
Spider Guild??!? ... :(
Any time guy gardner is involved it's usually pretty funny. No respect but doesn't take any bs. Top notch.
First, a gripe. Gleason's art is too cartoony for my tastes especially when compared to the art in the main GL book. Now to the story, I liked it. I always liked Kyle and John but Guy wears on me but I guess he's supposed to be polarizing. I look forward to reading the tales of new GL's and their villains. The art made it hard to always follow along but still pretty good overall.
This was a good read and a reboot of the Green Lantern Corps along with Green Lantern Rebirth. Some enjoyable story as many new lanterns are recruited into the Corps and the little-blue man talk about their mysterious new plans.
Not as good as some of the later GLC stuff, but worth it for what Guy Gardner does to say goodbye to Batman. I'm still laughing :D And the Guy/Kyle interaction is to die for.
It's great to see the Corps back in action again, and what a book to spring back into action with!
Started off great. I automatically loved Sora. But it couldn't really hold my interest. The villains were lame, the ending was cheesy, and I just can't stand too much of Guy. Sora and Kilowog were the only ones of interest to me, really.
I <3 Guy Gardner.
