- I've read better, but not many
Basic storyline is decent. Part one has the man hunters after Kyle and the last lantern ring and with some cool pictures it looks good. Part two brings the yellow ring into play. Given to a mental patient who can use it in ways never thought possible to "purge evil from the Earth." With the help of other super heros (Alan Scott, Superman, Batman ect) it is a good story to help bring out the character in Kyle. All in all I like it and it's well worth a few days delivery.

- This book is HOT! Get it now!
first off,...kyle rayner as green lantern ROCKS. ...i mean, hal jordan and all the other green lanterns were always cheap and just used the ring as a laser or a force field/shield. kyle has got all the creativity and fun and makes the coolest constructs from the ring. this book is packed with action (better than a movie). although its all one main story, there are three separate adventures. the first is about kyle getting abducted by the manhunters of qward. the second is about kyle dealing with fatality again (but this time she has a yellow lantern ring). and the third is about a schizofrenic artist called nero who inherits the yellow lantern ring and causes serious trouble. its a great buy and one of the best comics i've read.

- Kyle Rayner as Green Lantern RULES
Kyle Rayner is by far the best Green Lantern ever. He was just a regular guy that became one of the greatest super heroes ever. He is by far the most powerful because of his limitless imagionation.

Rating:

- An Inferior Greeen Lantern
This latest version in a seemingly endless troup further cheapens the memory of a classic superhero. Chosen not because he was born fearless, wished to dedicate his life to avenge a wrong or fight the good fight Kyle Rayner just happened to be there when the last of the disgraced Guardians came along. Do yourself a favor and buy one of the GL Archives staring Alan Scott or Hal Jordan instead. Even Guy Gardner would be better then this loser, at least Guy was entertaining.

- A transitional chapter for a controversial character
This collect's Judd Winnick's first couple of story-arcs as the first post-Marz writer on "Green Lantern". As a previous reviewer noted, Winnick immediately sets about remedying the lack of character growth and development for which the Marz run was widely criticized. Kyle is much more substantial and well-rounded in Winnick's hands, a most welcome improvement. On the negative side, this is Winnick's first superhero work, and it shows; the pace, structure, and overall execution are awkward, giving the narrative an uneven feel. That having been said, I'll mention that Winnick's work on the title since has dramatically improved; he seemed to really hit his stride a few issues after those collected here. Look for Winnick's next Green Lantern collection to be a five-star winner. As for the present one, I'll still recommend it as a good transitional intro to a highly promising new era for Green Lantern.
