Product Description:
Along with Hal Jordan, the daring test pilot who protects Earth as Green Lantern, there is an entire corps of Green Lanterns scattered across the galaxy, each defending their own homeworlds at the command of the powerful Guardians of the Universe.

Now, in the wake of events with tore the Lanterns asunder, the Corps lives again in these amazing new adventures brought to you by writer Dave Gibbons (WATCHMEN).

From the Guardians' citadel on the planet Oa, Green Lantern Guy Gardner, formerly of Earth, is assigned against his will to a feudal world of shadows and sudden death. Across the galaxy, new Lanterns discover what it means to wear the Corps insignia, as their courage is tested to the limit.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - To be a lantern fan!
The idea of the Green Lantern Corps is one of the genuine genius concepts in comics. Superficially similar in nature to the Jedi Knights of Star Wars, the Green Lantern Corps are essentially space police, and their tales chronicle the exploits of sentient representatives from various solar systems around the galaxy, given immensely powerful rings that are powered by will. Lanterns know no fear, or are at least able to overcome it.

This volume collects the first six issues of the relaunched ...

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Solid GL Corps. Stories
If your a fan of Dave Gibbons clean ,clear art, he illustrates part of this trade. The really Interesting part of this trade was the mysterious "Green Lantern Corpse", What could this be you ask? Buy the trade and find out.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The Green Lantern Corps: One Year Later
"To Be a Lantern" picks up the Green Lantern Corps story after Guy Gardner has completed his one year of "no shore leave" from Oa. The story, by Dave Gibbons, is entertaining and reads like "NYPD Blue" meets "Star Trek: TNG". The artwork is somewhat inconsistent in the first three issues collected here, but improves once Dave Gibbons takes over pencilling chores himself. While not in the same league as Green Lantern Corps: Recharge, "To Be a Lantern" is still a fun series.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A Great Series
This is one of my Favorites series going on right now right up there with Fables. It brings into focus so many different characters it is next impossible to not find at least one that you like. And by pairing up Green Lanterns into groups of two you get a lot of ying-yang relationships such as Guy and Kyle while the former is an arrogant, hot head the latter is humble guy who keeps control of himself. This really is more of a filler between major story arcs but still a solid story.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - refreshing
In Green Lantern Corps you get the opportunity to follow the stories of some of the lesser known GLs. I would always see them in the Green Lantern books, flying around, not saying anything and basically taking up space and making Hal Jordan look good. In this series the main characters are Kilowog and (Love him or hate him)Guy Gardner as they train and lead a new generation of Green Lanterns. I think Green Lantern Corps is THE Green Lantern book to read. Ion and Hal Jordon have fallen from grace for me and ... Read More
