Green Lantern: Rebirth

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The sold out 6-issue miniseries event of 2004-2005 — written by Geoff Johns (THE FLASH, TEEN TITANS) with art by Ethan Van Sciver and Prentis Rollins — is collected for the first time, complete with the preview story from Wizard Magazine! Hal Jordan was considered the greatest Green Lantern of them all. But Jordan lost control, allowed himself to be corrupted and transformed into the villainous Parallax. Later, Jordan reappeared and made the ultimate sacrifice — a sacrifice that allowed him to become the Spectre, the Wrath of God.

After several years of activity on Earth, The Spectre became restless and sought a way to prove himself worthy of that noble reputation. See how a man born without fear and seeking to rebuild his life, puts cosmic forces into motion that will have repercussions not only on Earth but across the universe.

This volume also features an introduction by best-selling author Brad Meltzer and a new cover by Van Sciver!

Long Live the Lanterns!, Saturday, August 14, 2010

When I was a child my mom made sure of two things, I knew how to read, and I used that skill to read the adventures of Hal Jordan. By the time I was able to become a true geek however Mr. Jordan was gone from our lives almost entirely with only the occasional appearance in the Guise of the Specter. In a world without Hal I found and became a big fan of The Kyle Rayner character. But deep down I always wanted to see the right man wearing the ring again, Kyle was interesting, and his journey was cool, He just wasn't Hal. This book brings Hal back right. Not only does he prove himself still a good person after his interstellar Genocide, He does it in a way that makes you remember while forgiving. Geoff Johns did a great job Bringing Hal back and continues to do great work returning the Grand Mythology of the Lanterns.

Hoorah for Geoff Johns, and Hoorah for Hal Jordan. The Corps are back baby!

Way better and cheaper than the absolute!!, Friday, July 02, 2010

I got the Rebirth Absolute Edition this week... I returned once my friend showed me this Green Lantern: Rebirth paperback (new edition).

It have 192 pages and includes the 6 issues of Rebirth, the Wizard Magazine and a number of extras that are on the Absolute Edition. I think the only thing it doesn't have is the script of chapter 1 and the concept art, that is no big deal anyway.

Why I returned my Absolute Rebirth?. Because is WAY to expensive for only 200 and some pages. Is such a tiny Absolute. I felt like a moron after I open the package and see the thin book.

This $10 new edition of Green Lantern Rebirth is the right way to go, guys. Don't waste your money on the Absolute unless you are a hardcore collectionist.


UPDATE: 06/JULY/2010
The only thing this book don't have from the Absolute is GREEN LANTERN #1, and GREEN LANTERN SECRET FILES 2005.

I'm SO happy because I return my Absolute Rebirth...

Geoff John's Thank You, Monday, June 28, 2010

In the 1990's DC wanted to start fresh with Green Lantern so they made him go crazy , kill the corps, and become Parallax. Much later Hal Jordab/ Parallax died saving the sun or some bull.

But Hal Jordan is brought back in this four issue mini series by Geoff Johns and Ethan van Sciver.

The story is that Hal Jordan is now the host for the Spectre but Parallax is coming back. Kyle Rayner who'd been Hal's replacement while he's been gone recovers his body from the sun and brings it back to earth. Now not giving alot of spoilers but Hal Jordan is revived and there's an explanation of why he went crazy and killed some people.

The Writing is good and is easy to read and understand for new comic book fans. The artwork by Ethan Van Sciver is spectactular. It's highly detailed giving a some what realistic view of the comic. I reccomend to anyone even if your not a green antern or comic book fan.
