Product Description
The ultimate showdown between Hal Jordan -- the greatest Green Lantern of all -- and his arch-enemy, Sinestro, continues in this new volume! Sinestro -- Hal Jordan's former mentor turned arch-nemesis -- has gathered an army of soldiers fueled by the fear they instill in others. Former Green Lantern Kyle Rayner has been possessed by the entity known as Parallax and now assists the Sinestro Corps in cutting a swath of evil across the universe. Trapped in the depths of the Sinestro Corps' Citadel and face-to-face with the Guardian of Sinestro's army of fear, Hal Jordan must find the will-power to battle these terrible foes.

The war comes home... July 10, 2008
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
The second, concluding volume of the ultra-epic Sinestro Corps War finds Sinestro and his fear-instilling corps of evil heading to Earth and watching their plans come to fruition, with Green Lantern's Hal Jordan, John Stewart, and Guy Gardner reeling while a bloody war continues in the heavens. Everything comes to a head here, as nearly every superhero on the planet unites with the Green Lantern corps as the war comes home, Kyle Rayner makes a come back, and a new Ion is born. All this, plus a new direction that gets forged for the Green Lanterns as well, which leads into the upcoming Blackest Night, which promises to have an impact unlike which none will see coming. As he has during his entire run since relaunching the series, writer Geoff Johns (Flash, Infinite Crisis, 52) manages to make Green Lantern one of the absolute most compelling superhero comics on the market. Co-writers Dave Gibbons and Peter J. Tomasi fare pretty well too on the Green Lantern Corps issue interludes, and the brilliant artwork throughout from Ethan Van Sciver, Ivan Reis, and Patrick Gleason only sweetens this hardcover. All in all, superhero epics rarely get better than this, and as The Sinestro Corps War comes to a close, we are reminded just how enjoyable mainstream spandex epics can be. Now bring on the Blackest Night!
Sinestro Corps War, is indeed, a war July 22, 2008
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
One of the best Graphic Novels I have read in ages. (Literally) Apart from 52, which I believe is a groundbreaking accomplishment for DC, this was another. The green Lantern Corps have neer looked this good. With twists, surprises, and an immense, looming threat of the Corps throughout the series, this series tilted on strong elements and solid action. SPOILERS folks!! Sinestro was always a thorn in the Green Lanterns' side, but never like this. Is there a single reader who can tell me they were not taken aback by the splash page that contained 4 other galactic level threats who were going to be part of this terror spree across the universe for Sinestro's corps? That, with the worrying factor that the Lanterns are having to fight the Sinestro Corps members with one hand tied behind their backs (Use of lethal force denied), how ingenious is that? And even with the new Ion, the threat level remains till the end?? Not to mention that priceless brief moment with Batman. Ingenious. DC outdid themselves here. The art is excellent, detailed and the splash pages with the battles between good and evil, priceless, particularly since they pay homage to several science fiction, space related characters. Intelligently written, meticulously done, this is intergalactic War indeed. Too bad, things like World War Hulk, and worse, Civil War, which were potentially, beat em up trounce the good guys stories, got the larger part of the cake. Shows what the world's preferences are becoming. Read this, and you will find the new age cominc fan in you again.
 great book August 7, 2008
If you read the first book, you have to read the second. This book was a joy to read. I couldn't put it down. Every time I picked it up, I just couldn't stop reading. If you love green lantern then you have to get this book.
Outstanding August 9, 2008
I can't add too much to what's already been written. It is a great finish to a great story with some of the best science fiction characters you'll find anywhere, and not just in comics or graphic novels.
Excellent Book, Excellent Service! August 11, 2008
