I have to say that Geoff Johns is my favorite comic book writer and this trade did not let me down, couldnt wait to dive into vol 2

I don't buy comics anymore but I often buy graphic novel collections. I'm a longtime GL fan, (back when Sinestro was magenta) and I wanted to read this. The art is fantastic but I can't figure out what the hell is going on. Instead of a flowing story, just about every two pages is a scene that jump cuts to another and another with little cohesion. I really wanted to enjoy this.

This was a great follow-up after reading Green Lantern: Rebirth and Green Lantern: Secret Origin. The fight between Sinestro and Hal Jordan (along with the rest of the Green Lantern Corps.) escalates even further. Although I'm not very sure of the origins of some the characters in this book, it was a very enjoyable with cool art work.

I never really liked Green Lantern and especially the GL Corps until Geoff Johns comes along and pens this epic along with Dave Gibbons and Peter Tomasi. The art was really good in the GL sections and just average in the Corps chapters. The key to any good hero is a good villain or villains. Here Johns gives us a ton of them. Sinestro is now a top of the line DC bad guy. Loved it!!

THE SINESTRO CORPS WAR is not quite a masterpiece, but it contains a masterpiece. By this I mean that in the two volumes making up the story there is an absolutely brilliant story, but that a simple flaw keeps it from being as perfect as it should have been. Not everyone will agree with me, but for me the saga fell just short of perfection by not having sufficient contrasts in the narrative. The story ends up like a great symphony by Bruckner that consists exclusively of loud movements. Imagine only the final movement of the 8th Symphony for an entire hour, with no quieter movements. That is what THE SINESTRO CORPS WAR is like; all loud, no quiet. Or to shift the musical references to something more modern, there is a great documentary about the Pixies entitled loudQUIETloud, a reference to their popularizing in rock very loud passages following (or preceding) very quiet ones. But SINESTRO CORPS reads more like loudLOUDloud. The book is simply too busy and overstuffed with action for its own good.
What is in the story is brilliant. I'm merely saying that the books would have been improved by the inclusion of more passages that contrast more strongly with the huge, epic panels that fill the two volumes. If ever there was a comic that suffered from having too much happen, this is it. The story, in fact, almost gets tiring so much takes place on the pages.
OK, that is the extent of my criticism. Everything else about the two books is just brilliant. Geoff Johns has done more for the Green Lantern series than any other writer in the history of the franchise. And if you take all of his Green Lantern tales as a group, the effect is that of a great epic, an epic that is ongoing and has every sign of, if anything, getting even better.
