Green Lantern, Volume 2: Revenge of the Green Lanterns by Geoff Johns
3.0
This book treads water around Infinite Crisis. None of the stories are really important to Johns's run on the series, they just have character moments that keep them from being completely dull. You get a two-issue team up with Green Arrow where they each get trapped in a simulation of their ideal lives, and you get a team up with Batman against an updated tattoo man. Neither story is great. Then there's a splash page letting you know that Inifnite Crisis has taken place, and we're a year in the future, which happened to all the DC books at this time.
The latter half is Hal trying to redeem himself to the guardians and the new Green Lantern Corps for his crimes when he was Parallax. It's fine. I guess it's a necessary beat in the Hal Jordan redemption story arc, but I really didn't care what the lanterns or guardians thought, and the villains being tied into Infinite Crisis didn't excite me for future stories.
This isn't a bad book, but it's unnecessary to the buildup to Blackest Night.
