I read this series two or three years ago, and I never thought I'd read it again. Not because it was bad (it wasn't), but because it a lot to commit to and I'm lazy.
But I recently decided that I wanted to reread everything I have from Green Lantern: Rebirth to the present, so yeah.
The first of four volumes, each with thirteen issues. There is a LOT to wrap your head around in this series. There are so many storylines going on at the same time (I think I counted eight), a lot of characters to keep track of, and a lot of background information necessary to understand it.
The stories are all interesting so far. That's what happens when you combine the genius minds of four fantastic authors (Johns, Morrison, Rucka, and Waid). I think the most interesting plots in the first volume have been Booster Gold and Renee/Charlie. But that's just an opinion. The art is great, too. I can't think of anyone more suitable for this task than Keith Giffen.
After every issue, there are a few paragraphs written by one of the authors, artists, or editors telling of how that issue came to be. Be warned, however, as some of them contain spoilers (nothing huge, but spoilers nonetheless). I would suggest reading these after you've finished the series.
