The Corps Recharged July 16, 2006
15 out of 17 found this review helpful
With Hal Jordan back from the dead and John Stewart in the JLA, what's a Green Lantern to do? Re-establish the Green Lantern Corps that's what! Collecting the five issue mini-series written by Geoff Johns and Dave Gibbons and featuring art by Patrick Gleason, Green Lantern Corps: Recharge focuses on GL's Kyle Rayner, Guy Gardner, and Kilowog as they all play a part in the training of rookie Green Lanterns on Oa. Unbeknownst to them however is a new threat to the universe which is slowly crawling towards Oa, and the combined powers of all the Lanterns in the universe may not be enough to stop it. While Recharge isn't a revolutionary yarn of the DC universe, it is a fast and fun action tale nicely weaved by fan favorite writer Johns and Watchmen artist Gibbons, whose Infinite Crisis tie in, the Rann/Thanagar War, is better left to be forgotten, even if this has some ties to it. Gleason's art is reminiscent of Chris Bachalo's work on various X-Men titles, which means that at times it can be too cartoony for it's own good. Perhaps Gibbons would have been better off providing the pencils here. Despite all that, GL: Recharge is still a more than solid Green Lantern story that doesn't deter from the legacy of the emerald heroes, and this is worth picking up for GL fans.

The art is very good. Cinematic in some segments. Story is OK. Increased my desire to read more green lantern.

Green Lantern is boring by himself.
One of the niftiest things about the whole Green Lantern saga is the interstellar marshal aspect of it, and lots of entertaining space adventures.
That had been demolished in the past, and here DC has decided to have another crack at it. Guy Gardner with authority, who'd thunk it?

This was a great read and is worth the purchase. All of the major Green Lanterns appear with most of the action switching between Guy and Kyle with thier rookie lantern and KIlowag with two rookie lanterns. If you have any interest in Green Lantern I suggest you start here as it is a who's who of the big time Green Lanterns.
 The Lanterns Are Back!!! January 21, 2008
"Green Lantern Corps Recharge" collects the 5-issue "Recharge" miniseries that preceded the "Green Lantern Corps" ongoing series. Geoff Johns and Dave Gibbons blew all expectations out of the water with this mini-series. The art, by Patrick Gleason, was more than up to the task of illustrating a universe-spanning action. Guy Gardner's back in action as a Green Lantern, and he's as big a jerk as he ever was--a great return to form for "the best" Green Lantern. Johns and Gibbons also toss in some Easter eggs for longtime GL fans, such as the return of Bolphunga the Relentless from Alan Moore's classic "Mogo Doesn't Socialize."
