Product Description:
A battle beyond the stars didn't end quite as imagined. Legendary cosmic guardian and former Green Lantern Hal Jordan has unknowingly left a horrific legacy to the future. When Hal vowed to respect all life, he probably wasn't thinking of the nasty, acid-dripping, murdering Aliens -- and because he spared these vile creatures, he doomed the lives of countless others years later. Now it's up to current GL Kyle Rayner and the remnants of the defunct Green Lantern Corp. to clean up the mess made by his predecessor. But Kyle is still struggling with the mantle of Green Lantern that he's inherited. Further, he's struggling with the definition of heroism in a day and age when Hal's nobility is all too rare. What Kyle's about to experience in the darkest regions of space will change him forever...if it doesn't kill him first. Collects the four-issue mini-series. Co-published with DC Comics.

This is one of those crossovers that are fun to read but not the best.

However they choose not to kill this intergallactic monster and instead leve it on an uninhabited planet. Flash forward ten years later and with core gone and only one lantern left, it's up to the new Lantern to take out what the former would not do.

Rating: - A neatly told slugfest....
With a title like Green Lantern Versus Aliens, you should be expecting a slobberknocker battle, and that's pretty much all you get...

After an opening chapter that sees former Green Lantern Hal Jordan, along with a squad of other Lanterns, battle the marauding Aliens, we move on to the real story: Rather than kill the Aliens, Jordan and company deposited them on an uninhabited planet. 10 years later, a ship crashes on that World, and a group of former Lanterns enlist the NEW Green Lantern, ...

Rating: - The only thing good about this book was the art..
..cause really, a GL vs Aliens book? Just how believable could it be when one weilds a ring that could do anything you want? It can't. So, what's to be done? You make the hero lose the ring again!! Definitely a tired and contrived plot in these superheroes vs whatever crossovers where we all know, at their best, the heroes would cream these aliens. It gets worse in that they killed off several ex-members of the GL Corps..again!!! Only bright spot is that ther art looks good and is the only thign that made ... Read More
