Wow, it is crazy how much I enjoy these. I do wish it was longer. I'll have to try and find an omnibus so I can get a more complete story.

I got a cheap lot of Green Lantern books from Shopgoodwill. This was one of the books.

Overall, I dug it. Ivan Reiss draws a great Green Lantern. Sinestro in the driver seat made for an interesting story, especially with Hal Jordan and a shitty ring doing his bidding. I still maintain that the various color Lantern Corps dilute the Green Lantern property though and I'm not really on board with whatever this third army business is. Lastly, ever since Nibble on Futurama first spoke, I can't imagine the Guardians of the Universe sounding any other way. Three out of five stars.

I didn't know much about Sinestro before. I suppose I still don't, but I kind of enjoyed him as a character. Pretty good. I'd read more of them.

Not my favorite Green Lantern story, but a better tale in the new 52

The 'new 52' Green Lantern focuses in on Sinestro for its first volume, and this left me a bit flat. I just don't know a lot of Sinestro's history so it was hard to see how much his character is shifting, or understand all of his relationship with Hal Jordan. That being said, the events of the story, Sinestro creating a ring for Hal Jordan, saving his homeworld from his corrupted Sinestro Corp, is all very exciting and I will continue to follow it to see where it goes.

This is the first Green Lantern book I've ever read. I really enjoyed it and I'm glad I took a chance on it!

Because my favorite DC superhero is Green Lantern and i'm collecting New-52 series, this oughta be good. Which it was.

Really enjoyed this one. I've always loved Green Lantern (even the movie). I don't really know a ton about Sinestro other than he was a green lantern gone bad (and yellow), but he was excellent in this. It was kind of strange because I thought the New 52 was a complete reboot, but there's obviously a ton of history between Sinestro and Hal Jordan going on here.

Anyway, cool setup, great art (pretty standard for DC), and I'm definitely interested in what happens next.

Eh, I just don't think I'm that much of a Green Lantern fan. Or I'm reading the wrong volumes. Sinestro is kind of interesting though.
