    🐶🐶 WOOF WOOF! Time for a fun, positive video. I often say something is 'Just The Best' and rather than admit I'm wrong, I'd rather prove my point! So to celebrate 10 years since Geoff Johns left the title, we're looking at his historic run on GREEN LANTERN! 🟢🏮

    After his JSA run, Johns Green Lantern is the definitive run of the character and his mythology. I specially love how Johns portrayed Hal and Sinestro rivalry, giving GL enemy much more complexity and understantable motivation. His lines to Jordan in Johns final issue are very emotional.

    With James Gunn now apparently rebooting DC film universe, I really hope he uses Geoff Johns run as the base for the GL films. I would love to see trilogy adapting stories like Green Lantern Secret Origin and Sinestro Corp War (as for Blackest Night, I think should be DCEU equivalent of IW and Endgame, a big crossover with GL and all DC heroes trying to save the universe from the Black Lanterns).

    GL is one of those runs I keep on meaning to pick up but never do. I've got no excuse really apart from Marvel stop releasing so many books😂 It sounds like grandiose epic storytelling and you made some fantastic points during the video, Cannot lie you've tempted me even more. Sounds right up my alley.😋
    I wish they'd collect Tomasi run again too in some format too.
    Just wanted to say a big thank you as well for your comment on the previous vid. Honestly your words brought a big goofy smile to my face. I just like to help and so glad you appreciate it mate.😁

    Geoff Johns run is what put me on to Green Lantern and it’s most definitely one of my favorite comic series ever. Everything about it felt like a big sci fi epic and it ended in a way where I have no intention of reading anything after his run

    Although Johns was allegedly toxic with regard to film projects, his writing is nearly unparalleled; Sinestro Corps War, Flashpoint, New 52 (all JL members, especially Aquaman imo) have all been addicting reads- its hard to stop yourself from reading cover to cover.

  • @tommyvasquez2708

    this is a good jumping off point for people that don't think hal jordan is either interesting or good of a character (myself included). hal's story started off really rough here with him having to deal with the specter and parallax but it quickly showed why he's one of the best lanterns to exist or probably even the best lantern to exist. it was a really good read that showed the best of hal while making it digestible for modern day audiences

  • @ginofrancejr555

    Even though Geoff Johns has been problematic over the past couple of years you cannot defy that his GL RUN IS THE DEFINITIVE RUN OF THE CHARACTER he expanded the lore have more depth to characters like Kyle guy John and hal. ( My favorite GL is John Stewart) he also reinvented sinestro into an anti hero. It's the only Geoff Johns book I will reread but not the arc with Ethan can sciver on art

    One major reason want to read Johns’ run on GL is that it’s a perfect starting point for anyone new to the Green Lantern mythos and the characters within. Some other reasons it’s fantastic:
    1. Explains the previous history of The Corps and everything leading up to Rebirth
    2. Has some of the best DC storylines to date.
    3. Introduces new characters, worlds and Lantern Corps

    Geoff's GL run was so good, his final story is basically the series finale of GL where the main characters get their ending, meaning you can write off the less talented subsequent writers that picked the run when he left.

    @user-cx5fd9qs2j Рік тому

    The only thing I don't like about the run is that DC didn't let that ending remain canon.
    The ending of his run was so darn good that I still haven't read any of the stuff that have come after.

    I've been meaning to collect this run for a while, but I've been having trouble figuring out what format I should read it in. Should I collect the trades that started printing a couple years back? Or should I buy the omnibuses?

    • @stephentheshywarrior2759
      @stephentheshywarrior2759 Рік тому

      I would've gone the trade route but they stopped making them before getting to the end so get the omnis.

    • @Iam123-i5j
      @Iam123-i5j Рік тому

      Omibuses are the best way to get into DC runs. A little pricey but thr omnibuses are well made. They feel like an event onto themselves

    • @nicktroisi6347
      @nicktroisi6347 Рік тому

      Get the Omni’s man
      They are big, they are expensive and they look daunting to read but trust me it’ll be worth it
      Don’t worry about the Blackest Night Omni because that mainly collects the tie ins and GL Omnibus 2 collects the main Blackest Night Story. You can if you want to but personally I would stick with the 3 Omni’s and The Brightest Day omni
      So your collection should look like this
      GL Omni 1
      GL Omni 2
      Brightest Day
      GL Omni 3

    The rainbow lanterns are STUPID. Sinestro got his ring from the weaponeers of Qward and it was yellow because that was Green Lanterns weakness. Star Sapphire was the only one with that power. I must also mention that isn't Johns the guy that created the idiotic speed force. He is why I quit reading Green Lantern who was tied with my other favorite Flash (Barry Allen) Who was supposed to be forever dead, due to his sacrifice in Crisis on Infinite Earths.

    Great video mate! This in my opinion also is….just the best! It was the first multi-omnibus saga run I read. And it’s just got better and better. Tbh if I hadn’t read this so early on in my comic reading journey. Im not sure if I’d have stayed around as much as I have since.
