It will be interesting to see how they keep having the team work together to advance the story without it seeming tedious. The story feels like seeds of things to come. The first four issues of this collection probably could have been condense or expanded, and I wish that they had done more with the Orrery before the arrival of Invictus. Regardless, the story keeps moving and it could lead to a fun ride with some tweaking. Click here to cancel reply. Green Lantern: New Guardians 2. Green Lantern: New Guardians 3.

Having all these characters try to work together when they are each so d This is one of the better New 52 Lantern runs. Having all these characters try to work together when they are each so different from the other is the best part about this book apart from the fact is in it! The art is also solid throughout and beautiful to look at with all the different colours representing each Lantern Corps. My only Gripe is with the Purple Lantern Munk. During a conversation with he says "and you are a walking contradiction Fatality, you spent years hunting the green lanterns, yet here you are with blood on your hands, wielding the violet light of love. Recommended for fans of any of these characters! Sep 01, Kyle rated it liked it Shelves: dcu. It's a bit if a hodgepodge of leftover characters, none of whom seem able to comprehend or calculate the events that are taking place around them. For the most part, the action consists of petty squabbling between the different coloured factions of the Lantern Corps. You know, Lanterns of every colour seem really gullible these days. They seem perfectly content to not only be manipulated and lied to by the Guardians, but also by any past enemy that sings them a slightly sympathetic tune. Everyon It's a bit if a hodgepodge of leftover characters, none of whom seem able to comprehend or calculate the events that are taking place around them. Everyone in this title lacks a consciousness of their own, they just follow the herd and change directions when a new leader pops-up. There allegiances switch roughly four times in this story! It's kind of annoying, and I see it happening all across the Green Lantern franchise lately. We need some independent thinkers in this series! Still, the art work is lovely and there are a few well-written moments of clarity. Nov 21, Laurel rated it really liked it Shelves: green-lantern. Kyle Rayner is my favorite Green Lantern: the twenty-something sensitive artist type with a hopeful outlook that can still kick serious butt. I also enjoy the 'rainbow' lantern corps, in this case represented in the New Guardians. The problems I had were some confusing fight scenes and a bit too much talking throughout. Tyler Kirkham's art was very good although the fill-in artists were a bit disappointing. I lik Kyle Rayner is my favorite Green Lantern: the twenty- something sensitive artist type with a hopeful outlook that can still kick serious butt. I liked Kyle's less clean cut image Kirkham has created for this series. I must also note the wonderful coloring job of Nei Ruffino - so many different colored lantern corps cannot be easy to color correctly but Ruffino pulls it off beautifully. The collection ends in a cliff hanger of sorts, but this is the problem when reading a collection created from an ongoing comic. I'll be happy to read the next volume when it comes out to see what Kyle and the gang get into next. Jun 29, Jesse A rated it liked it Shelves: graphic-novels , library-it- up. Not bad. Stared off very well but got a bit overloaded by the end. Still all in all pretty decent. We have Kyle all of a sudden get stuck with power rings from all the different corps. He goes back to but of course the Guardians have been pieces of shit and treat him like he's nothing. On top of that we have a new "villain" per say that is extremely powerful. This was high paced, fun, exciting, and Wow each volume 1 of the New 52 Green Lanterns Save for Red Lantern was great This might be one of my favorite things Tony Bedard made, or might just be his best. This was high paced, fun, exciting, and plenty of lolz moments. I loved almost all of it. Sure, sometimes it was to convenient where people were or what they set up. But I enjoyed the encounters, the fights, the humor, and pretty much everything else. A great start to the "New Guardians" series. It helps Kyle is the lead here too since he's the best Green Lantern. Jul 24, Cale rated it liked it. This book does a good job of establishing character through conflict - almost the entirety of the book is battles, and the personality of most of the characters comes through not just in the dialog but also in their approaches to battle. Using rings as a MacGuffin gets a strong start to the story, although the mystery of why they were all attracted to Kyle sort of disappears midway through in the shadow of a larger threat that drives the individuals toward teamwork.

Dec 05, Annice22 rated it really liked it Shelves: action , adventure , comics , sci-fi , comics-single-print-issues. I read the single issues instead of the trade edition. I thought this was a fun read. The story, the writing and the characters were all very interesting. And I thought the artwork was really good. I look forward to reading the next volume. Oct 02, John Yelverton rated it it was ok. This book had great artwork and so much potential, and they wasted it all. Shelves: digital-comics. It took me forever to get around to reading this series. In fact, I started 46 of the original 52 titles in the New 52 universe before coming to this one simply because of the fact that I've never been much of a Kyle Rayner fan. I probably wouldn't have liked this series at all if it focused solely on Kyle. Luckily for me, members of each of the other Corps are all equally showcased. Walker from the Blue lanterns is present. As is Arkill It took me forever to get around to reading this series. Fatality from the . Glommullus from Orange, and one of the Indigo tribe are also involved. The Guardians of Oa, Larfleeze, and all make appearances too before the story reveals who is the main villain of the arc. Tony Bedard, the writer for the series, kept me interested in the story, but that was mainly due to the fact that all of the Lanterns Corps were represented. As stated earlier, I don't really like Kyle, and it would have taken the most amazing story ever to keep me interested had he been the front and center the whole time. The people at DC gave the Red Lanterns their own book to start the New 52 and there are a couple of other Green Lantern titles, but the rest of the Lanterns Corps would be highly underused were it not for this series. Glommy isn't a huge part of the story, but he steals the show later in the book and becomes the one character I look forward to seeing more of in the future. The story is nowhere near as good as a penned Lantern story. It isn't even as good as a Peter J. Tomasi helmed GL story, but it is still pretty good. I give the story 3. The art is handled by Tyler Kirkham. I've seen his art before and I've never been highly impressed by his work. He's really inconsistent. One panel will look great. The next might have below average art. Then a panel or two that are decent looking before going back to something that looks rushed. He's capable of really good art, but rarely ever turns into back to back pages or panels that are equally as good. Because of all the peaks and valleys in quality, I have to give this book a 3 star art score. This ended up being a 3. I rounded my average down for this site and a couple others. If you're into any of the Green Lantern books, check this out. It is worth reading. If you like Kyle as GL more than I do, you may love it. Apr 27, James Dunphy rated it it was ok. DC has taken Kyle Raynor — the perpetual worst Green Lantern in history, and given him control of a green, yellow, red, blue, indigo, orange, and pink ring. In the process he creates a forced team up of all of the lanterns of the corresponding rings he's sort of steals. The story is full of Guardian deceit typical , and a universe level threat complete from a dude named Invictus. A lot of the story deals with all the various one- dimensional emotional lanterns trying to get along. This is basically the plot of International vol 1 spliced with the Green Lantern mythos. The plots are almost exactly identical save for the characters. It's an interesting story granted, but I can't help but feels it works to dilute the overall impact and meaning of each individual corps now that a few of their members are able to work together. Invictus is a decent villain for an opening arc, but he's pretty lame as a Warhammer 40k meets Diablo III steroided space-angel dude. A lot of people are digging the art for this collection, but I wasn't. The super saturated colors of all the different corps just get in the way of everything. All the splash pages look like the same type of Power Ranger assemblage, and the over use of all the corps colors make the action sequences messy at time. New Guardians vol 1 gets a 2 out of me. Easily the weakest of the GL New 52 titles. I don't know where this goes besides keeping the other corps colors relevant, but I hope the following arcs delve deeper into the shadiness surrounding the Guardians.

They go to Oa to figure out what's going on, then get attacked by who's now emotionally empty and the other Guardians, then go rogue to figure out what's happening, then of course, come across the reason behind them being drawn together: Larfleeze, Agent Orange himself, and his Guardian , who was attacked viciously by Ganthet even though they were close once Then shit gets odd An interesting story, takes itself just slyly enough not to be too serious. Worth a read, if nothing else keeps up the whole 7 colours of the Lantern Spectrum story. Jan 17, Zack! Empire rated it liked it. I enjoyed this book, but not as much as I thought I would. I like the way they are setting him up to be able to use all the rings, rather than him just doing it at the point in the story where that has to happen.

In fact you can probably say that Kyle exists only for this reason. Reason being of course to unite the spectrum and harness each individual colour and its power. The possibilities are enormous and it will be interesting to see where we go. I just feel that this edition not enough justice was done to Kyle and too many things were happening at the same time.

This is nearly a pitch-perfect continuation of the Rainbow Lanterns saga; it could have been written by Geoff Johns, for all that means, good and bad. On the upside, we get great cosmic adventure and also a continued investigation of the background of the Rainbow Lanterns. On the downside, characterization is pretty poor: it's almost all action.

I can't even say if it's bad or what flaws it has, I eat this stuff up like skittles. All the rings are drawn to Kyle, which is a mystery for a later time. When he heads to Oa, the Guardians attack him, which plants seeds for a later story. The rings Kyle has bring the wrath of a member of each of the Corps, but in the end they must work together against Invictus. A powerful seemingly unstoppable archangel. All because of Larfleez, and here we get to see how big of an evil beast he truly is. T I can't even say if it's bad or what flaws it has, I eat this stuff up like skittles. To be continued in the next volume. Jun 19, Vanessa rated it liked it Shelves: , dc , modern-age. I am not much of a Green Lantern fan. I typically only read the occasional arc. The idea of a team featuring a member from each of the corps is pretty interesting. I like Kyle's characterization, though I would have preferred seeing him use his ring more. The volume has a little too much exposition, but it is also accessible to new readers. The art is okay, but I really enjoyed the coloring. Oct 06, David rated it it was amazing Shelves: comic-books. Ah, Green Lantern and Tony Bedard. You really don't need to know more than that, to know you've got a great comic book in your hands.

With the events of Green Lantern Vol. Its okay I guess, but it becomes to vast for its own good. That bit at the end with Invictus and those planetary system was odd. Its only begun but the writing isn't that strong. Sep 19, Bradley rated it liked it. It dawned on me at some point that if this volume of comics transitioned into a show it would be well received. I can see this being an entertaining watch, but not necessarily an entertaining read. As far as a rating goes you could stretch the quality of this down to 2 or up to 4. Feels comic-booky. I liked it :D. Dec 03, Douglas Gibson rated it really liked it. I have always fancied myself a purest so after , you wouldn't think I have room for another Green Lantern in my life, but I really like Kyle Rayner. I am a fan of his 90's stories, but didn't know this series existed until a few months ago. I like this first volume a lot, and it kicks off with plenty of action, in fact, so much that we don't get enough Kyle and the other Lanterns, but I am assuming we will get more of that in future volumes. Nov 09, Natalie rated it really liked it. And while I enjoyed all of them, this and Green Lantern are probably my favorite. The art is good and it was a good introduction to the series. This was also a soft introduction to Kyle. I had heard about him and may have read something of his prior to this, but this was sort of the first Kyle centered series I recall getting into which spawned into me reading a few other of his titles. I'm really not sure what they wanted to achieve with this book. Sure, it's the period when we just had too many human Green Lanterns and too many emotional spectrum corps and it's hard to feature them all at once. But to contrive this odd gathering of different representatives of different corps and tying them all to Kyle Rayner somehow as someone who can wield just about all colors of the emotional spectrum just doesn't quite gel well in this first volume. I was afraid that a series with all the Lantern spectrums would be a pale comparison of but this was so much more. Bedard does a fantastic job of giving the other Lanterns their own personalities. The plot is intriguing and always moving. Kirkham's art was good although too gratuitous at times Just with Fatality. Overall, a very good read that makes me want to read more.

Well, I was slightly curious about that, especially considering the cover to the first issue showed Kyle and half a dozen other Lanterns of various colors reaching for a variety of rings hovering in the air above them. I had to find out what that was about. And the answer was interesting enough to make this a regular monthly buy. Everyone prefers Hal or John, and rightfully so. See, what happens with the power rings is, when their original wearer dies or is decommissioned from his corps, the ring finds a new replacement in the same space sector. Kyle escapes to the Green Lantern hq, the planet OA, where he tries to find his answers to why he was given all 6 other rings red, yellow, indigo, blue, orange and a star sapphire ring , only to find his friend and the Guardian who originally chose him, Ganthet, has been altered. No longer is he a feeling, emotional person, but Ganthet is suddenly very cold and emotionless. Kyle wants to help his friend, but more pressing matters arise when the Orange Lantern, Larfleeze shows up, telling them he knows who sent the rings to Kyle, and he knows where they come find him. The writing is solid, the plotting is interesting and kept me guessing, and I thoroughly enjoyed the read. Feb 07, Christopher Rush rated it liked it. I give this 3 stars for sheer goofiness.

Perhaps NG takes itself a bit more seriously, but it is not possible for us to do so, and because of its sheer unwillingness to do anything sensible, new, or believable, we can lightheartedly enjoy it for its cotton-candy nutritive value. It appears that he has been chosen to carry the power rings of the other Lantern Corps. This causes a member of each corps to head for Earth with intentions on not only taking back those rings, but also avenging the death of their comrade who died when their ring left them stranded.

Having all these characters try to work together when they are each so d This is one of the better New 52 Lantern runs. Having all these characters try to work together when they are each so different from the other is the best part about this book apart from the fact Larfleeze is in it! The art is also solid throughout and beautiful to look at with all the different colours representing each Lantern Corps. My only Gripe is with the Purple Lantern Munk. During a conversation with Fatality he says "and you are a walking contradiction Fatality, you spent years hunting the green lanterns, yet here you are with blood on your hands, wielding the violet light of love.

It's a bit if a hodgepodge of leftover characters, none of whom seem able to comprehend or calculate the events that are taking place around them. For the most part, the action consists of petty squabbling between the different coloured factions of the Lantern Corps. You know, Lanterns of every colour seem really gullible these days. They seem perfectly content to not only be manipulated and lied to by the Guardians, but also by any past enemy that sings them a slightly sympathetic tune. Everyon It's a bit if a hodgepodge of leftover characters, none of whom seem able to comprehend or calculate the events that are taking place around them. Everyone in this title lacks a consciousness of their own, they just follow the herd and change directions when a new leader pops-up. There allegiances switch roughly four times in this story! It's kind of annoying, and I see it happening all across the Green Lantern franchise lately. We need some independent thinkers in this series! Still, the art work is lovely and there are a few well-written moments of clarity. Nov 21, Laurel rated it really liked it Shelves: green-lantern. Kyle Rayner is my favorite Green Lantern: the twenty-something sensitive artist type with a hopeful outlook that can still kick serious butt. I also enjoy the 'rainbow' lantern corps, in this case represented in the New Guardians. The problems I had were some confusing fight scenes and a bit too much talking throughout. Tyler Kirkham's art was very good although the fill-in artists were a bit disappointing. I lik Kyle Rayner is my favorite Green Lantern: the twenty-something sensitive artist type with a hopeful outlook that can still kick serious butt. I liked Kyle's less clean cut image Kirkham has created for this series. I must also note the wonderful coloring job of Nei Ruffino - so many different colored lantern corps cannot be easy to color correctly but Ruffino pulls it off beautifully. The collection ends in a cliff hanger of sorts, but this is the problem when reading a collection created from an ongoing comic. I'll be happy to read the next volume when it comes out to see what Kyle and the gang get into next. Jun 29, Jesse A rated it liked it Shelves: graphic-novels , library-it-up. Not bad. Stared off very well but got a bit overloaded by the end. Still all in all pretty decent. We have Kyle all of a sudden get stuck with power rings from all the different corps. He goes back to OA but of course the Guardians have been pieces of shit and treat him like he's nothing. On top of that we have a new "villain" per say that is extremely powerful. This was high paced, fun, exciting, and Wow each volume 1 of the New 52 Green Lanterns Save for Red Lantern was great This might be one of my favorite things Tony Bedard made, or might just be his best. This was high paced, fun, exciting, and plenty of lolz moments. I loved almost all of it. Sure, sometimes it was to convenient where people were or what they set up. But I enjoyed the encounters, the fights, the humor, and pretty much everything else. A great start to the "New Guardians" series. It helps Kyle is the lead here too since he's the best Green Lantern. Jul 24, Cale rated it liked it. This book does a good job of establishing character through conflict - almost the entirety of the book is battles, and the personality of most of the characters comes through not just in the dialog but also in their approaches to battle. Using rings as a MacGuffin gets a strong start to the story, although the mystery of why they were all attracted to Kyle sort of disappears midway through in the shadow of a larger threat that drives the individuals toward teamwork. There's a lot of good here, b This book does a good job of establishing character through conflict - almost the entirety of the book is battles, and the personality of most of the characters comes through not just in the dialog but also in their approaches to battle. There's a lot of good here, better than much of the rest of the New 52, but it doesn't quite knock it out of the park. Dec 05, Annice22 rated it really liked it Shelves: action , adventure , comics , sci-fi , comics-single-print-issues. I read the single issues instead of the trade edition. I thought this was a fun read. The story, the writing and the characters were all very interesting. And I thought the artwork was really good. I look forward to reading the next volume. Oct 02, John Yelverton rated it it was ok. This book had great artwork and so much potential, and they wasted it all. Shelves: digital-comics. It took me forever to get around to reading this series. In fact, I started 46 of the original 52 titles in the New 52 universe before coming to this one simply because of the fact that I've never been much of a Kyle Rayner fan. I probably wouldn't have liked this series at all if it focused solely on Kyle. Luckily for me, members of each of the other Corps are all equally showcased. Walker from the Blue lanterns is present. As is Arkill It took me forever to get around to reading this series. Fatality from the Star Sapphires. Glommullus from Orange, and one of the Indigo tribe are also involved. The Guardians of Oa, Larfleeze, and Atrocitus all make appearances too before the story reveals who is the main villain of the arc. Tony Bedard, the writer for the series, kept me interested in the story, but that was mainly due to the fact that all of the Lanterns Corps were represented. As stated earlier, I don't really like Kyle, and it would have taken the most amazing story ever to keep me interested had he been the front and center the whole time. The people at DC gave the Red Lanterns their own book to start the New 52 and there are a couple of other Green Lantern titles, but the rest of the Lanterns Corps would be highly underused were it not for this series. Glommy isn't a huge part of the story, but he steals the show later in the book and becomes the one character I look forward to seeing more of in the future. The story is nowhere near as good as a Geoff Johns penned Lantern story. It isn't even as good as a Peter J. Tomasi helmed GL story, but it is still pretty good. I give the story 3. The art is handled by Tyler Kirkham. I've seen his art before and I've never been highly impressed by his work. He's really inconsistent. One panel will look great. The next might have below average art. Then a panel or two that are decent looking before going back to something that looks rushed. He's capable of really good art, but rarely ever turns into back to back pages or panels that are equally as good. Because of all the peaks and valleys in quality, I have to give this book a 3 star art score. This ended up being a 3. I rounded my average down for this site and a couple others. If you're into any of the Green Lantern books, check this out. It is worth reading. If you like Kyle as GL more than I do, you may love it. Apr 27, James Dunphy rated it it was ok. DC has taken Kyle Raynor — the perpetual worst Green Lantern in history, and given him control of a green, yellow, red, blue, indigo, orange, and pink ring. In the process he creates a forced team up of all of the lanterns of the corresponding rings he's sort of steals. The story is full of Guardian deceit typical , and a universe level threat complete from a dude named Invictus. A lot of the story deals with all the various one-dimensional emotional lanterns trying to get along. This is basically the plot of Justice League International vol 1 spliced with the Green Lantern mythos. The plots are almost exactly identical save for the characters. It's an interesting story granted, but I can't help but feels it works to dilute the overall impact and meaning of each individual corps now that a few of their members are able to work together. Invictus is a decent villain for an opening arc, but he's pretty lame as a Warhammer 40k meets Diablo III steroided space-angel dude. A lot of people are digging the art for this collection, but I wasn't. The super saturated colors of all the different corps just get in the way of everything. All the splash pages look like the same type of Power Ranger assemblage, and the over use of all the corps colors make the action sequences messy at time. New Guardians vol 1 gets a 2 out of me. Easily the weakest of the GL New 52 titles. I don't know where this goes besides keeping the other corps colors relevant, but I hope the following arcs delve deeper into the shadiness surrounding the Guardians.

In fact you can probably say that Kyle exists only for this reason. Reason being of course to unite the spectrum and harness each individual colour and its power. The possibilities are enormous and it will be interesting to see where we go. I just feel that this edition not enough justice was done to Kyle and too many things were happening at the same time. Still the GL universe is so complex tha It had to happen. Still the GL universe is so complex that sometime I wonder how they will bring all the threads together!

This is nearly a pitch-perfect continuation of the Rainbow Lanterns saga; it could have been written by Geoff Johns, for all that means, good and bad. On the upside, we get great cosmic adventure and also a continued investigation of the background of the Rainbow Lanterns. On the downside, characterization is pretty poor: it's almost all action. Overall, it was a fun read if not a very deep one, that I definitely want to continue.

I can't even say if it's bad or what flaws it has, I eat this stuff up like skittles. All the rings are drawn to Kyle, which is a mystery for a later time. When he heads to Oa, the Guardians attack him, which plants seeds for a later story. The rings Kyle has bring the wrath of a member of each of the Corps, but in the end they must work together against Invictus. A powerful seemingly unstoppable archangel. All because of Larfleez, and here we get to see how big of an evil beast he truly is. T I can't even say if it's bad or what flaws it has, I eat this stuff up like skittles. To be continued in the next volume. Jun 19, Vanessa rated it liked it Shelves: superhero , dc , modern-age. I am not much of a Green Lantern fan. I typically only read the occasional arc. The idea of a team featuring a member from each of the corps is pretty interesting. I like Kyle's characterization, though I would have preferred seeing him use his ring more. https://files8.webydo.com/9593230/UploadedFiles/45394797-1C56-5EE0-BE9D-35FD952D41A6.pdf https://static.s123-cdn-static.com/uploads/4636723/normal_60203496c4ea7.pdf https://uploads.strikinglycdn.com/files/b719960d-0d91-4d36-a646-7412e0008ab7/ausgewahlte-briefe-von-m-tullius-cicero-244.pdf https://static.s123-cdn-static.com/uploads/4637919/normal_601fa29de0d4c.pdf https://uploads.strikinglycdn.com/files/5b357782-a97c-48ec-b1b5-e218cf753073/fluchtlinge-und-vertriebene-in-der-sbzddr-1945-bis-1950- 589.pdf https://files8.webydo.com/9587438/UploadedFiles/68AF9241-ED78-11CF-BFB5-1507192F0667.pdf https://static.s123-cdn-static.com/uploads/4644911/normal_6020bdd9826a2.pdf https://uploads.strikinglycdn.com/files/7d00fc46-9ba4-4bb5-911f-36946e737ca7/zocker-2020-eine-legende-ist-unbesiegbar-notizbuch-fur- gamer-a5-notizbuch-blanko-gaming-buch-g-930.pdf
