Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps 1: Sinestro's Law

Another great GL book. Thinking you're the last Green Lantern and not pout about it is Hal Jordan. A man on a mission to save the universe from Sinestro. Oh-rah!!

Rebirth kicks off the new Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern series by reigniting the old rivalry between Hal and Sinestro. While the Green Lanterns series sees Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz protecting Earth, this new title brings together all of the galaxy-spanning other titles into one new series. This volume picks up where the New 52 Green Lantern and Sinestro titles left off: the Green Lantern Corps has all gone missing aside from Hal (who had previously gone renegade) and Simon and Jessica. While the latter two protect Earth, Hal reforges his own ring and sets off to confront the Sinestro Corps which has become the dominant peace keeping force in the galaxy. Sinestro appears to be on death's door after using up his power to defeat the Paling on Earth and has given his Corps over to his daughter, only to revitalize himself using Parallax and reveal a sinister new chapter in his rule. With Sinestro's true colors on display, Hal heads to confront his enemy and take as many Sinestro Corps members out in a blaze of glory.The book is a direct continuation of the New 52 GL stories so if you haven't read them you'll probably be a bit lost. Overall this is one of the few Rebirth titles I've seen so far that isn't easy to pick up blind. The book doesn't do the best job explaining where the GL Corps disappeared to, why Hal was renegade, or why Sinestro's Corps had become the new galaxy police (aside from a few brief moments of exposition). Furthermore, as a huge fan of the way Sinestro's solo title ended (with the Fear Corps essentially accepting their newfound roles as heroes) I was majorly disappointed to see this title immediately undo that with Sinestro taking control back from his daughter and getting all diabolical on everyone. As much as I appreciate the fact that the book continues to explore the idea that Sinestro thinks he is a hero and believes in his cause, it was a letdown to see him go so over the top villainous again.All that said, this is an action packed and fun story overall that sets the new status quo going forward for the GL Corps. With Hal and some of the heavy hitting GLs back on the scene it looks to be a great return to form for the series after the New 52 run dipped in quality after the Wrath of the First Lantern event. Also, while I am sad to see Sinestro's fall back to over the top villain, it was cool to see that some of his Corps splinters off near the end to follow his daughter and continue the trend of not all Sinestro Corps members being out and out villains.

I have been a Hal Jordan Green Lantern enthusiast long before Geoff Johns came along and had an AMAZING run on the character starting with Green Lantern Rebirth... and here we are with Vendittis BEST arc yet: Green Lantern Rebirth. This one is right up there with Geoff Johns run. Venditti has steadily gotten better and better with almost every arc (though i do think Godhead was better than Renegade). His writing on this one makes me excited to see what's coming next. I highly suggest people check his one out... ESPECIALLY those that left Green Lantern when Geoff Johns left

This trade reignited my love for the world of Green Lantern. It could be the Van Sciver art or the return to the feeling that you are witnessing space opera on a grand scale. I hope Venditti can keep this momentum up. It takes me back to the Geoff Johns days.

I’ve never been a fan of green lantern before but I got this and love it!! It’s a great comic!

Fantastic jumping on point for new readers. Action packed with great art by Race Sandoval! You get a sense of the universe spanning Green Lantern lore.

man the story and the art in this volume are so beyond my expectations, also this volume got me to love Guy Gardener a lantern i never cared for in the past.

A love this book. Sinestro. Hal Jordan. A nice starting point for your reading enjoyment of future Green Lantern stories.

The battle between the yellow and green lanterns continues in this thrilling volume. (This story makes more sense with context from the Sinestro Corps comics)

Já tinha um bom tempo que eu não lia um bom título dos Lanternas, mas Robert Venditti mudou isso em Hal Jordan & Green Lantern, os detalhados desenhos de Sandoval e Van Sciver também colaboram muito para a qualidade da história.

Gran cómic sobre Hal Jordán, muy buen realizado, muy buenos dibujos y trama, una de las historias más sobresalientes de Rebirth

Si vous cherchez une BD avec un scénario travaillé et des dialogues subtils, cette série n'est pas faite pour vous. Mais si vous cherchez des combat épiques dans l'espace, c'est ce qu'il vous faut !A noter que sans connaitre la continuité précédente, on ne comprend pas quelques références, ou pourquoi les personnages sont là où ils sont au début, mais ce n'est pas nécessaire pour comprendre l’histoire et il s'opère vite une sorte de "soft reboot" pour remettre un statu quo plus traditionnel.

I’m such a huge fan of trade paperbacks like this; love that I received it in great condition and quickly, too! Thanks heaps!
