A new life for Hal Jordan! I bought this in its single comic book issues, but I chosen this TPB edition to be able of making a better overall review. Hal Jordan is once again a member of the GL Corps, having John Stewart as his back up partner, in the space sector. Black Hand lost his right hand due a harsh judgment of The Spectre when Hal was still inside, and obviously wants payback. And… …the first option for space law officers of the Guardians of the Universe, the fearsome Manhunters are back, updated and under new management! Green Lantern is back and better than ever! Sep 10, Artemy rated it liked it Shelves: dc , comics. Apparently I have already read this book a year ago, but have no recollection of that. Anyway, I am on a perpetual quest to get into more of DC universe with books on my DC shelf, I still admit that I know next to nothing about it! How crazy is that? Unfortunately, the only good modern run of his character is written by Geoff Johns, whose books are almost always hard for me to enjoy for some reason. Villain after villain comes after him, from a robot Manhunter to german-speaking gremlins to No idea who he was. It gets a bit too convoluted near the end, just like most other Geoff Johns comics, as Some Dude starts pummeling Hal and pushing some ham-fisted message about the nature of humanity and life and death and all that. Not very subtle. And every other page there is somebody usually Hal himself who will say how fearless he is. Green Lantern as a superhero is also pretty fun, his abilities are cool and imaginative, and his suit looks rad. I am willing to give Johns another chance here to win me over, and will check out the next volume. Want to get my attention? Have the late, great Darwyn Cooke illustrate the opening chapter. It sets a nice, properly nostalgic tone since Hal Jordan and his GL origin is briefly again re-hashed for readers. From there we are also introduced to the intriguing new co-star character Captain Jillian 'Cowgirl' Perlman, a USAF pilot, and thrown into the rest of the 'Manhunter' plot that encompasses the volume. The first half or two-thirds of the bo 3. The first half or two-thirds of the book is just great. Curiously, around the time a trio of villains make their simultaneous appearance and the artwork changes. In one specific instance, the 'Shark' attack sequence seemed overly graphic for this otherwise middle-of-the-road type of book. Still, I'm curious to check the subsequent installment to see if things get back on track. Nov 26, Maria rated it really liked it Shelves: ebook , graphic-novel , dc. I've never been really interested with Green Lantern , but my friend is, and so far, he hasn't let me down with his recommendations, which is why I gave this a go. I was a bit traumatized when I watched the Green Lantern movie with Ryan Reynolds which was why I was a bit hesitant to read anything with that character. Surprisingly, it wasn't bad. I actually, kind of, like it, if only I understood what happened before the events of this. I wonder what happened and why everyone thinks he died. I w I've never been really interested with Green Lantern , but my friend is, and so far, he hasn't let me down with his recommendations, which is why I gave this a go. I wonder what it was he did that made him feel so guilty. On this six part issue, i felt that I knew Hal quite a bit now, as well as his family, and the people he works with. I liked the drama, i felt it worked well with the story. Hal fought quite a lot of monsters here, some more terrifying than others, and it puzzles me why he was the only one fighting them. There were a lot of other Green Lanterns out there, as you will see here, and Hal almost got himself killed quite a number of times and no backup arrived. The other GLs must have been so busy to help him out. The illustrations were great! I loved them. Overall, I really enjoyed it and would definitely be continuing on with the rest of this run.

While trying to earn back his wings and reenter the Air Force, strange supernatural events occur: manhunter androids start killing people, a prototype jet using alien technology nearly crashes, the Green Lanterns Corps is reassembling, and an alien is broadsided in the middle of the desert. Hector Hammond, whose powers were acquired from a meteor in Africa, asserts that the "alien" was evolved by the same meteor. And then there's the B movie mutated shark attack!

I loved that this volume kicked off with Darwyn Cooke's art! I'm a big fan of his work and for me this was a definite treat. All in all this was an okay start to the reboot. I didn't enjoy it as much as Rebirth - but it got the ball rolling well enough. It was a little 'jumpy' but I managed to stay on target and had some fun with it. My favorite thing about Green Lantern has always been his corps. While there was a touch of that in here, most of it took place on earth. H I loved that this volume kicked off with Darwyn Cooke's art! All said and done, some great pictures and some fun adventure. Still, it just never really felt all that 'balls-to-the-wall'. I guess that can't be expected right off the hop, though. Good things come to those that wait. Mar 19, Martin rated it really liked it Shelves: reviewed. Good stories by Geoff Johns, which lay the groundwork for future storylines, such as Blackest Night.

In places, it was very nice and dynamic, but overall Van Sciver's work in GL:R inflated my expectations. Rating: 2. Recommended to fans of GL, but only mildly so to superhero fans in general, and I can't recommend it -- to be perfectly honest -- to those of you who don't usually read comics. There are much better superhero collections out there. View 1 comment. Jul 30, Jason Carpenter rated it really liked it Shelves: green-lantern. This was my first venture into Green Lantern territory. I was advised to begin with Geoff Johns, and I was not disappointed. It was an awesome story. There wasn't anything about the art that stood out and made it pop, but it was still good. I did discover, though, that I began with the wrong series. I should have began with Green Lantern: Rebirth by Johns, but a mix up led me to this one.

Feb 01, Yvonne rated it liked it Shelves: The beginning of Geoff John's run on Green Lantern. My brothers been waiting to read this for quite some time. I was curious, sure, but I could have lived without this under my belt. To be honest I'm more keen on going back and reading up on Jordan's time as the spectre. The further back I go the more I wonder about when they last truly rebooted green lantern history. Kind of like I wonder when they plan on doing so next. The first half of this is great, there's a bit of the fresh start feel to The beginning of Geoff John's run on Green Lantern. The first half of this is great, there's a bit of the fresh start feel to the story and there's a central group of bad guys that we get to focus on. We end, what I'm assuming is the end of an issue, at the halfway point with a bit of a mystery and a coming threat from said group of bad guys and then Gremlins, literally gremlins, start mucking up the works. Next thing you know Jordan is simultaneously dealing with three separate bad guys, that have nothing to do with the first half of the book. It felt rushed and convoluted and like too much was happening on each page. If my brother gets the next book I'll read it, but if not I won't worry about it. I'll just get some of the spectre stuff instead. And now, if you care to read it, some commentary on the villains and other stuff. Spoilers to follow. This is the first thing I've read that features Hector Hammond, all I can say regarding him in this book is this, ew. He's weird and gross. Another thing. Is that supposed to be king shark or just a random mutated shark? If it is him they changed his origin or something. After his rebirth Hal Jordan tries to readapt to life, which proves somewhat harder than expected. But there's no rest for the wicked and soon Green Lantern gets involved with Manhunters, a giant humanoid shark, Black Hand, Hector Hammond and german speaking gremlins. Much happens for poor little newborn me in the GL universe. But I jumped on board and got most of it Black Hand and Hammond being the two characters I miss intel on. Hammond is quite creepy, I like him already. So there's action, After his rebirth Hal Jordan tries to readapt to life, which proves somewhat harder than expected. So there's action, lots of, and some quieter moments, when Hal renews links with his brother in an almost empty Coast City or when he's a kid eager to fly like his father drawn by the great Darwyn Cooke btw. The pacing between these scenes is well handled. Johns' script is better paced than in Rebirth, less rushed-up, less popping-up scenes apparently from nowhere, more linear. I'm not convinced he's the best writer ever but he seems good enough with these classical type of stories. Art ranges from great Cooke to uninteresting Van Sciver with good Bianchi and correct underperforming Pacheco interspersed. Jun 16, RG rated it liked it. Pretty solid start. I liked the parts off Earth, especially OA. It felt like a good introduction with some alot of small exposures to different elements, ultimately building towards something bigger. Still a solid read. A little more gory and graphic than I was expecting from a DC book. I have yet to find a creative team who lives up to the promise of this character. Like so many other folks who have tackled the character, Geoff Johns and his rapidly rotating crew of visual collaborators do better with the patriotic jingoism of I have yet to find a creative team who lives up to the promise of this character. And for a ring that can effectively do or become anything, it pretty much just grabs and shoots things. My search continues for a definitive run. Dec 20, Abhinav rated it it was ok Shelves: read. It was pretty much a perfect graphic novel as far as I was concerned. Despite the fact that it was a transitional book and marked the return of Hal Jordan as a Green Lantern after spending a considerable amount of time as Parallax, and so would normally require catching up on years of continuity, it was a great intro-level book to the Green Lantern mythos. With such a fantastic experience from this book, my expectations from No Fear, the first volume of the fourth Green Lantern series, were pretty high. I expected a story that was at least as engaging and entertaining. Sadly, it was neither. My biggest issues with the book were that there was a distinct lack of clarity in the book, the pacing was completely off, and the characters hardly got explored in any amount of detail. With clarity I mean that there seemed to be no…. Nothing substantial anyway. Personally, that disconnect was just too damn disappointing. In terms of the pacing, the book was all over the place. The highs and lows came at really odd times, and the story never seemed to hits its stride. The difference in the two story arcs within No Fear was just too jarring. And then, the characters. None of them, barring the possible King Shark, made any kind of impression on me. Hal Jordan just felt bland and boring, with none of the fire to his character that was seen in Rebirth. The only remotely good scenes in the book involved Hal Jordan interacting with his brother Jim, and flashbacks that explained his relationship with his deceased mom. Hal Jordan became a much better sympathetic character through these scenes, but otherwise, none of it really mattered. Black Hand did show quite a bit of promise, but then Speaking of art, I found it to be mostly serviceable. There are three changes in the art team through the course of the mini-series, with Carlos Pacheco leaving after the third issue, to be replaced by Ethan Van Sciver, who left after 5 to make room for Simone Bianchi. The art changes did jar as far as the internal artwork is concerned, since all three artists had different styles in drawing the same characters. Other than that, one grump-point would be that often times the characters had indistinctly detailed facial expressions, as if the penciller was concerned only with getting the shape of a face on the pages rather than doing anything substantial. There are too many areas where the book disappoints and fails to capture the imagination. Apr 06, Zack! Empire rated it it was ok Shelves: dc-comics. This feels like a bit of a bland collection. Some of these guys I have no idea who they are, or what kind of threat they represent. With superhero comics a large part of the drama comes from the history between the characters. Although Black Hand does seem to hav This feels like a bit of a bland collection. Several artist do work for the book, the first one being Darwyn Cooke. I love his drawing style. He has that wonderful Bruce Timm style taken to a whole other level. In this book it seemed like he was changing his style to suit what the style was during the respected timeline of the story. Usually I love when Darwyn does this but here it just felt kind of bland. I know that Darwyn is a huge green lantern fan, so I would have be more fun to see him on a big action adventure story. Something that really plays up to his strengths. Dec 28, Joshua Adam Bain rated it really liked it. I have a full man crush on Hal Jordan. Not in a sexual way, I just think he is the absolute bee freakin knees!

I had no idea that John's was building toward Blackest night event since the start of his run! That's so god damn epic!! And not o I have a full man crush on Hal Jordan.

Secrets and Origins gives a quick but sweet look at Hal's life growing up and showcases his love of flying, which will eventually transition into his life flying as a Green Lantern. It's sappy but good. He's starting over, trying to get back into the cockpit, making amends with his brother, and trying to fight off some outdated Manhunter. Between that, he's flashing back to how he became a Green Lantern to start with, so for those of you who want a peek at his GL origins this one hits the spot. Hector Hammond shows up and does his creepy drooling thing over Hal, sucks out a few of his memories, and warns him about an impending attack by some aliens who like to experiment on humans If you're looking for a more detailed intro to Hal Jordan you might want to check out Absolute Green Lantern: Rebirth , but if you're just trying to determine if you might be interested in this character, this shorter volume will do just fine.

The highs and lows came at really odd times, and the story never seemed to hits its stride. The difference in the two story arcs within No Fear was just too jarring. Alan's first appearance was in the anthology series, All-American Comics 16 July The supervillain Sinestro was introduced in 7 July—August Green Arrow joined Hal Jordan in the main feature of the title in an acclaimed series of stories by writer Dennis O'Neil and artist Neal Adams beginning with issue 76 April and ending with issue November that dealt with various social and political issues in which Green Arrow spoke for radical change while Green Lantern was an establishment conservative figure, [17] wanting to work within existing institutions of government and law. Where Oliver Queen advocated direct action, Hal Jordan wanted to work within the system; where Oliver advocated social change, Jordan was more concerned about dealing with criminals. Each would find their beliefs challenged by the other. Oliver convinced Jordan to see beyond his strict obedience to the Green Lantern Corps , to help those who were neglected or discriminated against. As O'Neil explained: "He would be a hot-tempered anarchist to contrast with the cerebral, sedate model citizen who was the Green Lantern. O'Neil took on then-current events, such as the Manson Family cult murders, in issue 78 where Black Canary falls briefly under the spell of a false prophet who advocates violence. During this period, the most famous Green Arrow story appeared, in Green Lantern vol. Another backup Green Lantern, John Stewart , was introduced in The Green Lantern title returned with issue 90 Aug. Julius Schwartz, who had edited the title for most of its run since , left the series as of issue April Harris gave British artist Brian Bolland his first assignment for a U. In issue , writer Len Wein and artist Dave Gibbons made architect John Stewart, who had been introduced previously in issue 87, the title's primary character. The series remained as such until its cancellation in with issue This was given in the form of the controversial storyline " Emerald Twilight ". The Guardians of the Universe found fault with Jordan and stated their intent to strip him of his ring. Jordan responded angrily, and sought not only the destruction of the Guardians, but also the Green Lantern Corps itself. He killed countless Green Lanterns in his rampage through the universe to Oa , seemingly killed his arch enemy Sinestro, killed the Guardians and took the power of Oa's Central Power Battery for himself. Gaining unimaginable power over space and time, Jordan became the supervillain Parallax and, with that, became the leading antagonist going into DC's event Zero Hour: Crisis in Time. After this, Kyle Rayner, a young art student, was introduced as the new protagonist and the "last" Green Lantern, since the Corps no longer existed. Volume 3 culminated in a revival of the Guardians of the Universe, the introduction of Ion , and Kyle taking a journey into space that led directly into the miniseries Green Lantern: Rebirth. After the events of Rebirth , in which writer Geoff Johns revealed Parallax to be a parasitic embodiment of fear rather than as an identity of Hal Jordan, [36] a fourth volume of Green Lantern began publication returning Hal Jordan to the prominent Green Lantern in the DC Universe. Johns and artist Carlos Pacheco launched the new series in July The series introduces new supporting characters for Hal, most notably a man from Hal's past, Air Force's General Jonathan "Herc" Stone, who learned Hal's secret as Green Lantern during a battle with the Manhunters and acts as his ally. He also begins to develop a romantic attraction with his fellow pilot, the beautiful Captain Jillian "Cowgirl" Pearlman. It is revealed that Jordan spent time as a P. In this new origin, Hal Jordan, is working as an assistant mechanic under Tom Kalmaku himself, barred from flying due to his insubordination while in the USAF and his employers lingering guilt about his father's death in the line of duty, when Abin Sur , fighting Atrocitus of the Five Inversion, crashes near Coast City. The orange light of avarice converses with Jordan, his costume changes, and he becomes an Orange Lantern. Larfleeze quickly takes his power battery back from Jordan. Jordan and his "New Guardians" move with the other new corps members to combat the Black Lantern Corps and its leader Nekron directly. After the conclusion to Blackest Night , the Green Lantern title tied into the aftermath event Brightest Day , with several members of Corps from across the emotional spectrum seeking to gain control of the White Entity that settled on Earth in the final issue of Blackest Night. In his place, inexplicably, is Sinestro , former renegade and enemy of the Corps, serving in Hal's place to the shock and chagrin of everyone involved. On May 31, , it was announced that all published comics taking place within the shared DC Universe would be either canceled or relaunched with new 1 issues, after a new continuity was created in the wake of the Flashpoint limited series. Superheroes at large have appeared only in the past five years, and are viewed with at best, suspicion, and at worst, outright hostility. DC Comics editorial confirmed that the entire history of Johns' previous run on the Green Lantern title is still a part of the continuity of The New 52, with major storylines " Rebirth ", " Sinestro Corps War ", " Blackest Night ", and " Brightest Day " all still forming the backbone of the recent history of the characters. The title's first story arc, simply titled "Sinestro", deals with the former renegade's return to the Green Lantern Corps and Hal Jordan's mundane earthbound life. While on patrol, Sinestro visits his home planet of Korugar, and to his horror discovers that the remaining members of the Sinestro Corps have enslaved the planet's populace. In order to assist him in retaking the planet, Sinestro travels to Earth and creates a ring for Hal Jordan, his greatest enemy. The series later shifted where following the major incidents over the next few story arcs, Hal Jordan voluntarily became a scapegoat to preserve the Green Lanterns' reputation and officially became a renegade starting from the series 40th issue, using the same gauntlet Krona once had in place of a Power Ring which lasted until the series' conclusion.

Feb 01, Yvonne rated it liked it Shelves: The beginning of Geoff John's run on Green Lantern. My brothers been waiting to read this for quite some time. I was curious, sure, but I could have lived without this under my belt. To be honest I'm more keen on going back and reading up on Jordan's time as the spectre. The further back I go the more I wonder about when they last truly rebooted green lantern history. Kind of like I wonder when they plan on doing so next. The first half of this is great, there's a bit of the fresh start feel to The beginning of Geoff John's run on Green Lantern. The first half of this is great, there's a bit of the fresh start feel to the story and there's a central group of bad guys that we get to focus on. We end, what I'm assuming is the end of an issue, at the halfway point with a bit of a mystery and a coming threat from said group of bad guys and then Gremlins, literally gremlins, start mucking up the works. Next thing you know Jordan is simultaneously dealing with three separate bad guys, that have nothing to do with the first half of the book. It felt rushed and convoluted and like too much was happening on each page. If my brother gets the next book I'll read it, but if not I won't worry about it. I'll just get some of the spectre stuff instead. And now, if you care to read it, some commentary on the villains and other stuff. Spoilers to follow. This is the first thing I've read that features Hector Hammond, all I can say regarding him in this book is this, ew. He's weird and gross. Another thing. Is that supposed to be king shark or just a random mutated shark? If it is him they changed his origin or something. After his rebirth Hal Jordan tries to readapt to life, which proves somewhat harder than expected. But there's no rest for the wicked and soon Green Lantern gets involved with Manhunters, a giant humanoid shark, Black Hand, Hector Hammond and german speaking gremlins. Much happens for poor little newborn me in the GL universe. But I jumped on board and got most of it Black Hand and Hammond being the two characters I miss intel on. Hammond is quite creepy, I like him already. So there's action, After his rebirth Hal Jordan tries to readapt to life, which proves somewhat harder than expected. So there's action, lots of, and some quieter moments, when Hal renews links with his brother in an almost empty Coast City or when he's a kid eager to fly like his father drawn by the great Darwyn Cooke btw. The pacing between these scenes is well handled. Johns' script is better paced than in Rebirth, less rushed-up, less popping-up scenes apparently from nowhere, more linear. I'm not convinced he's the best writer ever but he seems good enough with these classical type of stories. Art ranges from great Cooke to uninteresting Van Sciver with good Bianchi and correct underperforming Pacheco interspersed. Jun 16, RG rated it liked it. Pretty solid start. I liked the parts off Earth, especially OA. It felt like a good introduction with some alot of small exposures to different elements, ultimately building towards something bigger. Still a solid read. A little more gory and graphic than I was expecting from a DC book. I have yet to find a creative team who lives up to the promise of this character. Like so many other folks who have tackled the character, Geoff Johns and his rapidly rotating crew of visual collaborators do better with the patriotic jingoism of I have yet to find a creative team who lives up to the promise of this character. And for a ring that can effectively do or become anything, it pretty much just grabs and shoots things. My search continues for a definitive run. Dec 20, Abhinav rated it it was ok Shelves: read. It was pretty much a perfect graphic novel as far as I was concerned. Despite the fact that it was a transitional book and marked the return of Hal Jordan as a Green Lantern after spending a considerable amount of time as Parallax, and so would normally require catching up on years of continuity, it was a great intro-level book to the Green Lantern mythos. With such a fantastic experience from this book, my expectations from No Fear, the first volume of the fourth Green Lantern series, were pretty high. I expected a story that was at least as engaging and entertaining. Sadly, it was neither. My biggest issues with the book were that there was a distinct lack of clarity in the book, the pacing was completely off, and the characters hardly got explored in any amount of detail. With clarity I mean that there seemed to be no…. Nothing substantial anyway. Personally, that disconnect was just too damn disappointing. In terms of the pacing, the book was all over the place. The highs and lows came at really odd times, and the story never seemed to hits its stride. The difference in the two story arcs within No Fear was just too jarring. And then, the characters. None of them, barring the possible King Shark, made any kind of impression on me. Hal Jordan just felt bland and boring, with none of the fire to his character that was seen in Rebirth. The only remotely good scenes in the book involved Hal Jordan interacting with his brother Jim, and flashbacks that explained his relationship with his deceased mom. Hal Jordan became a much better sympathetic character through these scenes, but otherwise, none of it really mattered. Black Hand did show quite a bit of promise, but then Speaking of art, I found it to be mostly serviceable. There are three changes in the art team through the course of the mini-series, with Carlos Pacheco leaving after the third issue, to be replaced by Ethan Van Sciver, who left after 5 to make room for Simone Bianchi. The art changes did jar as far as the internal artwork is concerned, since all three artists had different styles in drawing the same characters. Other than that, one grump-point would be that often times the characters had indistinctly detailed facial expressions, as if the penciller was concerned only with getting the shape of a face on the pages rather than doing anything substantial. There are too many areas where the book disappoints and fails to capture the imagination. Apr 06, Zack! Empire rated it it was ok Shelves: dc-comics. This feels like a bit of a bland collection. Some of these guys I have no idea who they are, or what kind of threat they represent. With superhero comics a large part of the drama comes from the history between the characters. Although Black Hand does seem to hav This feels like a bit of a bland collection. Several artist do work for the book, the first one being Darwyn Cooke. I love his drawing style. He has that wonderful Bruce Timm style taken to a whole other level. In this book it seemed like he was changing his style to suit what the style was during the respected timeline of the story. Usually I love when Darwyn does this but here it just felt kind of bland. I know that Darwyn is a huge green lantern fan, so I would have be more fun to see him on a big action adventure story. Something that really plays up to his strengths. Dec 28, Joshua Adam Bain rated it really liked it. I have a full man crush on Hal Jordan. Not in a sexual way, I just think he is the absolute bee freakin knees! I have been meaning to read through Geoff John's GL run for a long time and my wife just happened to give to to me on Christmas! I had no idea that John's was building toward Blackest night event since the start of his run! That's so god damn epic!! And not o I have a full man crush on Hal Jordan. And not only is he building towards that, but something else is coming, and I have a feeling I know what it is, but I'm going to keep that to myself. Either way I'm loving where this is heading. If there is one series of Geoff John's work that you should check out, I'd start here. He creates a living, vibrant world of space adventures and rich history that delves right back into old stories from the past. Connecting them in such a profound way that just leaves me reeling with fan boy giddiness. I literally need to get my hands on the next volume quick!!

Manhunters The first arc of Geoff Johns' new Green Lantern lays a lot of groundwork for Hal Jordan's new life: groundwork that will largely be ignored in the years to come as Green Lantern moves deep into space. It also plays with the mythology by upgrading the Manhunters. Gremlins Johns' second Green Lantern arc is weirdly over-the-top, as we mash together Hector Hammond, an evolved shark, and gremlin aliens.

Anyway, I am on a perpetual quest to get into more of DC universe with books on my DC shelf, I still admit that I know next to nothing about it! How crazy is that? Unfortunately, the only good modern run of his character is written by Geoff Johns, whose books are almost always hard for me to enjoy for some reason. Villain after villain comes after him, from a robot Manhunter to german-speaking gremlins to No idea who he was. It gets a bit too convoluted near the end, just like most other Geoff Johns comics, as Some Dude starts pummeling Hal and pushing some ham-fisted message about the nature of humanity and life and death and all that. Not very subtle. And every other page there is somebody usually Hal himself who will say how fearless he is. Green Lantern as a superhero is also pretty fun, his abilities are cool and imaginative, and his suit looks rad. I am willing to give Johns another chance here to win me over, and will check out the next volume. Want to get my attention? Have the late, great Darwyn Cooke illustrate the opening chapter. It sets a nice, properly nostalgic tone since Hal Jordan and his GL origin is briefly again re-hashed for readers. From there we are also introduced to the intriguing new co-star character Captain Jillian 'Cowgirl' Perlman, a USAF pilot, and thrown into the rest of the 'Manhunter' plot that encompasses the volume. The first half or two-thirds of the bo 3. The first half or two-thirds of the book is just great. Curiously, around the time a trio of villains make their simultaneous appearance and the artwork changes. In one specific instance, the 'Shark' attack sequence seemed overly graphic for this otherwise middle-of-the-road type of book. Still, I'm curious to check the subsequent installment to see if things get back on track. Nov 26, Maria rated it really liked it Shelves: ebook , graphic-novel , dc.

I was curious, sure, but I could have lived without this under my belt. To be honest I'm more keen on going back and reading up on Jordan's time as the spectre. The further back I go the more I wonder about when they last truly rebooted green lantern history. Kind of like I wonder when they plan on doing so next. The first half of this is great, there's a bit of the fresh start feel to The beginning of Geoff John's run on Green Lantern. The first half of this is great, there's a bit of the fresh start feel to the story and there's a central group of bad guys that we get to focus on. We end, what I'm assuming is the end of an issue, at the halfway point with a bit of a mystery and a coming threat from said group of bad guys and then Gremlins, literally gremlins, start mucking up the works. Next thing you know Jordan is simultaneously dealing with three separate bad guys, that have nothing to do with the first half of the book. It felt rushed and convoluted and like too much was happening on each page. If my brother gets the next book I'll read it, but if not I won't worry about it. I'll just get some of the spectre stuff instead. And now, if you care to read it, some commentary on the villains and other stuff. Spoilers to follow. This is the first thing I've read that features Hector Hammond, all I can say regarding him in this book is this, ew. He's weird and gross. Another thing. Is that supposed to be king shark or just a random mutated shark? If it is him they changed his origin or something. After his rebirth Hal Jordan tries to readapt to life, which proves somewhat harder than expected. But there's no rest for the wicked and soon Green Lantern gets involved with Manhunters, a giant humanoid shark, Black Hand, Hector Hammond and german speaking gremlins. Much happens for poor little newborn me in the GL universe. But I jumped on board and got most of it Black Hand and Hammond being the two characters I miss intel on. Hammond is quite creepy, I like him already. So there's action, After his rebirth Hal Jordan tries to readapt to life, which proves somewhat harder than expected. So there's action, lots of, and some quieter moments, when Hal renews links with his brother in an almost empty Coast City or when he's a kid eager to fly like his father drawn by the great Darwyn Cooke btw. The pacing between these scenes is well handled. Johns' script is better paced than in Rebirth, less rushed-up, less popping-up scenes apparently from nowhere, more linear. I'm not convinced he's the best writer ever but he seems good enough with these classical type of stories. Art ranges from great Cooke to uninteresting Van Sciver with good Bianchi and correct underperforming Pacheco interspersed. Jun 16, RG rated it liked it. Pretty solid start. I liked the parts off Earth, especially OA. It felt like a good introduction with some alot of small exposures to different elements, ultimately building towards something bigger. Still a solid read. A little more gory and graphic than I was expecting from a DC book. I have yet to find a creative team who lives up to the promise of this character. Like so many other folks who have tackled the character, Geoff Johns and his rapidly rotating crew of visual collaborators do better with the patriotic jingoism of I have yet to find a creative team who lives up to the promise of this character. And for a ring that can effectively do or become anything, it pretty much just grabs and shoots things. My search continues for a definitive run. Dec 20, Abhinav rated it it was ok Shelves: read. It was pretty much a perfect graphic novel as far as I was concerned. Despite the fact that it was a transitional book and marked the return of Hal Jordan as a Green Lantern after spending a considerable amount of time as Parallax, and so would normally require catching up on years of continuity, it was a great intro-level book to the Green Lantern mythos. With such a fantastic experience from this book, my expectations from No Fear, the first volume of the fourth Green Lantern series, were pretty high. I expected a story that was at least as engaging and entertaining. Sadly, it was neither. My biggest issues with the book were that there was a distinct lack of clarity in the book, the pacing was completely off, and the characters hardly got explored in any amount of detail. With clarity I mean that there seemed to be no…. Nothing substantial anyway. Personally, that disconnect was just too damn disappointing. In terms of the pacing, the book was all over the place. The highs and lows came at really odd times, and the story never seemed to hits its stride. The difference in the two story arcs within No Fear was just too jarring. And then, the characters. None of them, barring the possible King Shark, made any kind of impression on me. Hal Jordan just felt bland and boring, with none of the fire to his character that was seen in Rebirth. The only remotely good scenes in the book involved Hal Jordan interacting with his brother Jim, and flashbacks that explained his relationship with his deceased mom. Hal Jordan became a much better sympathetic character through these scenes, but otherwise, none of it really mattered. Black Hand did show quite a bit of promise, but then Speaking of art, I found it to be mostly serviceable. There are three changes in the art team through the course of the mini-series, with Carlos Pacheco leaving after the third issue, to be replaced by Ethan Van Sciver, who left after 5 to make room for Simone Bianchi. The art changes did jar as far as the internal artwork is concerned, since all three artists had different styles in drawing the same characters. Other than that, one grump-point would be that often times the characters had indistinctly detailed facial expressions, as if the penciller was concerned only with getting the shape of a face on the pages rather than doing anything substantial. There are too many areas where the book disappoints and fails to capture the imagination. Apr 06, Zack! Empire rated it it was ok Shelves: dc-comics.
