Green Lantern: The Sinestro Corps War, Vol. 1

Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Sinestro -- Hal Jordan's former mentor and arch-nemesis -- has gathered an army of soldiers fueled by the fear they instill in others, consisting of Arkillo, Karu-Sil, the Cyborg-Superman, and hundreds more of the most terrifying villains the universe has ever seen! Former Green Lantern Kyle Rayner has been possessed by the entity known as Parallax and now assists the Sinestro Corps in cutting a swath of evil across the universe. Trapped in the depths of the Sinestro Corps' Citadel and face-to-face with the Guardian of Sinestro's army of fear, Hal Jordan must find the will-power to battle these terrible foes. And as one of the Book of Oa's prophecies comes true, the Green Lantern Corps makes a last stand that reveals the reincarnation of one of their fold!

Rating: - AWESOME!!!!
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

Rating: - Great art, impenetrable story
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.

Rating: - The hits keep on coming
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.

Rating: - Epic Green lantern War Which Will Stand-Up For Decades!!
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!!

Rating: - Geoff Johns solidifies his standing as the great Green Lantern chronicler
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 ...
