The Green Lantern Corps: One Year Later
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
"To Be a Lantern" picks up the Green Lantern Corps story after Guy Gardner has completed his one year of "no shore leave" from Oa. The story, by Dave Gibbons, is entertaining and reads like "NYPD Blue" meets "Star Trek: TNG". The artwork is somewhat inconsistent in the first three issues collected here, but improves once Dave Gibbons takes over pencilling chores himself. While not in the same league as Green Lantern Corps: Recharge, "To Be a Lantern" is still a fun series.
A Great Series

This is one of my Favorites series going on right now right up there with Fables. It brings into focus so many different characters it is next impossible to not find at least one that you like. And by pairing up Green Lanterns into groups of two you get a lot of ying-yang relationships such as Guy and Kyle while the former is an arrogant, hot head the latter is humble guy who keeps control of himself. This really is more of a filler between major story arcs but still a solid story.

In Green Lantern Corps you get the opportunity to follow the stories of some of the lesser known GLs. I would always see them in the Green Lantern books, flying around, not saying anything and basically taking up space and making Hal Jordan look good. In this series the main characters are Kilowog and (Love him or hate him)Guy Gardner as they train and lead a new generation of Green Lanterns. I think Green Lantern Corps is THE Green Lantern book to read. Ion and Hal Jordon have fallen from grace for me and I find real solace and enjoyment from reading the Corps. Many interesting topics arise in Corps such as brotherhood, Racism, faith and the scales of justice. Corps is definitely worth a read is you're into Green Lantern. The stores are good, the characters are dynamic and it could very be the future of the Green lantern legacy. Even though it can get a little flaky at times it's still a very entertaining read.
