The Geoff John’s green lantern era was soo good. No other period can match it.
Made me love Hal
This is facts. When Geoff Johns run ended, I felt like I never had to read a GL comic again
I agree but I think the early 80s period before Crisis with Wein, Gibbons, Staton and Englehart was incredible and the inspiration for GJ. Hopefully we will have it collected in omni format one day.
@@haltwhogoesthere47I definitely understand what you mean, but the current Jeremy Adams run is solid
You best respect the comic Gawd, Geoff Johns! All hail tha GOAT!
Look at that subtle off green coloring... a tasteful thickness of it..... Oh my God! It even looks great besides the Johns Omnie!
OMAC? Your sweating..
That's what my wife said :p
I wanna see Paul Allen's Reprint
No no no, this was Patrick GLEASON, not Bateman.
American Psycho is in my top 5 all time films. Respect.
😂😂😂😂😂
FYI, Green Lantern Corps Recharge takes place AFTER Infinite Crisis and Rann-Thanagar War. It's pretty much part of the "One Year Later" thingy. Kyle even comments about the events of the war while they're heading to OA. Omar shows the page, in fact, right after Isamot's introduction (so, it taks place after issue 9 of the main Green Lantern title).
I'm pretty sure _Recharge_ takes place before _Infinite Crisis_ and somewhere around the start of _Rann-Thanagar War._ The references you point to are about a situation in progress, and Kyle gets a new costume and a new name in the _Rann-Thanagar War: Infinite Crisis Special._ Then, in the aftermath of _Infinite Crisis,_ the _Green Lantern Corps_ ongoing launches and Kyle spins off into his _Ion_ solo series.
Kyle is also my favorite. Being an artist myself I identify easily with this character. Of all the lanterns he creates the most detailed and imaginative constructions. Especially love it when he wraps himself in a mech-suit.
Hopefully Vol 2 comes quickly
We waited 4 years for vol 2 of Batman new 52..
To be honest, vol 2 would all be Tony Bedard written, wouldn't it? Personally, vol 1 is all I need but I'm down for completionists getting the full run 👍🙏
Hopefully it will contain the 6 trades of new 52 run aswell
@@daly617 that was between the pandemic starting and DC cutbacks and corporation changes!
Volume 2 would probably include issues 39-47 of the pre Flashpoint run and the New 52 run from issue 1-20, right? Since they will only be Tomasi/Gleason centric, these books will be incomplete. The pre Flashpoint run lasted for around 63 issues and the New 52 run lasted for around 40 issues, right? They should have made these just Green Lantern Corps Omnis instead of creator centric ones. Two volumes would have been good for the pre Flashpoint run and one volume for the New 52 run.
The missing Gibbons issues are quite valuable for the Soranik Natu storyline.
I’m proud to say that I have the entire single issues collection of the green lantern corps alongside with my collection of Blackest Night 😢
Now we just need the GL New Guardians Omnibus and Red Lantern Omnibus to have the full experience!
Peter and Patrick are a team for the ages. Can’t wait to have this in my hands. Great review as always
Very happy I ordered this. Will look so good next to the Johns Green Lantern
This overview refreshed my memory of these issues, and you are correct, this is absolutely fantastic. There are stories Tomasi did that my memory assigned to Johns because they were so incredible. A lot of times when there are complaints about missed issues I roll my eyes and I say, ‘and I thought MY OCD was bad’, but the Tales of Sinestro was an important series for me, because when you are new to a very large universe of characters, those singles really fill in some important characters. If Omnis are for fans who are double dipping from singles they have read in the past, I can see them making decisions to leave certain stories out, but if it is for a new reader, then DC and Marvel would really need to bring in the historians to get the mapping just right. These are difficult things to do when you being title a book of this magnitude with the two main creators. We can see why decisions are made when really looking at everything: the Story, the Titles, the characters, the creators, the readers/buyers etc. nevertheless this book will be available for a while because it should sell well, and I’m curious how DC decides to handle keeping these Tomasi books in print. I imagine as long as Johns. But I wouldn’t risk it, you don’t want to miss out on this. If you’ve never read Green Lantern Corps, have no fear, this is a great jumping on point.
I almost think they waited too long to release this Omnibus. DC should have been watching your videos. You've had this on your list for years.
This is such good stuff man...
Made me a big fan of Guy Gardner, he's an asshole, but with a good heart. The other characters are also very enjoyable. Can't say enough good things about this run.
It's the internet; people will complain, say they will cancel, but they won't actually cancel.😂
Long live Kyle Rayner! The chosen one to save the Corps!
Great vid! You can tell how much you really love this stuff, and I’m glad you hammered home that the missing issues aren’t a huge deal. Good stuff as always!
I read the new frontier earlier this summer, it’s made me really interested in reading green lantern, I plan on checking out Johns run then maybe this after
One of my most anticipated Omni’s of the year ! This run was something else ! I’m already hyped for Vol 2 ! You’re awesome Omar ! Great overview bro ! ❤
So excited we’re getting this! Onward to more GL omnis!
Those missing issues and double dips with the johns omnis are a dealbreaker for me. I will keep my trades and hc until they reprint these books with the full mapping. Ideally they would combine all of the johns era together into 5 or more omnis. I made a full mapping order on reddit a few years ago.
Man, I finished two out of three of the Johns' "Green Lantern" omnibuses and was almost halfway through Volume Three. I need to get those back and get this because I loved the heck out of "Green Lantern Corps: Recharge" and "Sinestro Corps War." Yup. I'm gonna rebuild my GL shelf after finishing my updated Spider-Shelf. 🙂
Read this digitally a couple years ago when I began Geoff Johns GL to lead into Blackest Night/Brightest Day. I loved it. I never finished Blackest Night so I was just gonna re-read GLC and GL at the start of this year, since it had been a long while. Once I found out this book was finally a thing I postponed it, I cannot wait to get into this series again with, not just a physical copy, an oversized hardcover!
Love that design in the spine.❤❤
YEEEEES GLC
I just received my copy. The build is great! Marvel needs to step up
So excited to get this book, hope we get vol. 2 soon, I assume it’s contents will be,
green lantern corps(2006) 39-47, 58-60, green lantern: emerald warriors(2010) 1-13, green lantern corps(2011) 0-20, annual 1, Green lantern(2005) 63-67, and the rest of this green lantern era could be collected in companion omnibuses,
green lantern corps companion omnibus: Green lantern corps(2006) 4-6, 48-57, 61-63, Guy Gardner: collateral damage(2006) 1-2, War of the green lanterns: aftermath(2011) 1-2, tales of the sinestro corps presents: cyborg superman(2007) 1
Green lantern corps new 52 companion omnibus: Green lantern corps(2011) 21-40, annual 2, Green lantern(2011) 31-33, Green lantern corps: futures end(2014) 1, Green lantern corps: edge of oblivion(2016) 1-6
Ordered this one on a blind buy - can't wait, looks so good!
GL Corps was definitely one of my most wanted omnis. Happy to see it, and looking forward to see your overview of Young Justice by Peter David, & Batman Hush Omnis.
Speaking of Bats,,, DC needs to give us the Batgirl Cassandra Cain Omni!!!
Hey! Some of us wanted to see Guy Gardner's vacation shenanigans! Lol 🤣, but seriously great review.
These omnis are getting massive...give me 900 pages or less so my books survive longer term. Great review as always though
Exactly, I bought this, but i much prefer my Omni's to be between 750 to 1100 pages anything over 1300 is a hard sell for me, but then again I did buy this 😂
@@sergioruiz733 trust Me, I have venomnibus and Spiderverse/Spidergeddon on is...I UNDERSTAND 🤣
So ridiculously good. In some ways I think I enjoyed GLC even more than John's GL run. Together though, wow, what a great pair of titles. I really miss Sodam Yat too, what a cool character. Created by Alan Moore but developed wonderfully by Tomasi and Johns.
Can you imagine being Omar's kids? Everyday is: "Why can't you be more like Kyle?"
Every. Day!
Great review and yeah this era of GL was amazing. Wish there were more extras as it seems like a missed opportunity to showcase more behind the scenes stuff. Page and issue numbers would have been nice but regardless getting the book.
Great stuff! Forgot HOW good this book was. The current comic readers heads would explode from how much a comic can be good. Instead of the garbage produced now.
The best GL art of all time. In this omni.
Omar!! PLEASE PLEASE keep flipping through pages while you describe the overview! Staying on three pages for seven minutes and then flipping back to the same three pages drives me NUTS. Show off the artwork please! All love. You’re awesome.
I hate double dipping but I feel like I would really enjoy reading all the stuff that isn't repeated.
It’s absolutely worth it, this run is one of the best DC comics of the modern age.
I've pre-ordered the Justice League Dark Rebirth omnibus by James Tynion IV.
Now bring on Flash by Joshua Williamson omnibus vol 1 and 2!
That mapping is a mess, but then it wouldn't be a DC book if it wasn't full of inexplicably maddening choices.
Why stick all the _Blackest Night_ side-stories in between chapters of "Emerald Eclipse"? The book cuts off before _Blackest Night_ starts, so it would've made more sense to hold them back for the next volume and include _Green Lantern Corps_ #4-6 instead.
And why leave "Curse of the Alpha Lantern" in between chapters of "Ring Quest" instead of placing it before or after? Hell, given they left out #4-6, presumably because neither Tomasi nor Gleason were credited on them, why is "Curse of the Alpha Lantern" included at all? They didn't work on those issues either.
And then going to the effort of including the _Showcase 95_ stories, which is a nice touch. It's all so random and poorly thought out.
Can we expect a new reading order video soon? 👀
Been waiting on this for a long time!! I have mine on the way to me as I type!! So quick question for Omar...what is the official reason why issues 4,5 and 6 were left out? It makes no sense to me but that is DC collected editions for you!!
Guy Gardner in the 90’s was DC’s excuse for not having a counterpart for Marvel’s Wolverine. I’m glad they’ve been reframing his character to be unique. It feels like he’s his own person theses days.
I was just looking for GL Corps omnibus completely unaware that it dropped only this year.
Am sold.. i order it..
Hot take: GLC is better than the flagship Green Lantern books by Johns.
Ok i have to get this ;-) I love all the GL but Hal will always be my favourite
If you'll check the actual May 2023 solicits, you'll see that GLC 4-6 isn't on there.
How long did it take for you to reread this? Awesome run by great writers!
I agree that Kyle Rayner is the best Green Lantern.
But no matter what you do, there's always issues with the issues. 😉
That’s what bothers me about author based omnis. It only covers what other author(s) wrote and no one else. I’ll live without the Gibbons issues, but it’s worth including in a reading order for someone new.
Sinestro Corps War is the Best Green Lanterns storyline in my opinion. ❤ If DC will look to do a movie about GL, they have great script ready 🎉
These GL omnis certainly have amazing artwork and colour! I still laugh at the table of contents with page numbers though…
definitely Kyle, hope he gets his own omni
hey Omar Do you think there is any chance to get Green Lantern Corps omnibus by venditti ??
I would buy it just to get a solicit for his Hawkman run!
I didn't realize how many issues Tomasi and Gleason did together. 3 omnis worth of material is a crapton of comics! lol
if this is anything like the geoff johns green latern then im looking forward to reading it just got my copy today the geoff johns omnibuss were epic in every sense of the word hopefully this will be as twisted and sinister as they were cause to be honest before i read geoff johns i wasnt sure what green latern was but after readign them well the rest is history and just started reading this and so far its ok see how it develops
A little disappointing that the spine doesn’t match up with the other Tomasi omnis BUT it should be pretty easy to find someone that can make a new dust jacket to match them (that is if you don’t already know how to do it yourself).
I’d love a recommendation if you have one! I really like the spines on the other Tomasi omnis.
@@funkmasterusa No recommendations but a guy I know wanted to practice his photoshop skills and made dust jackets for the New X-Men and Wolverine omnis that fit in with the Krakoa era and according to him it wasn’t too hard to do
Those are New 52 era books, though, so I get the switch.
The solicited page count and issues included made the pretty hefty pricepoint of $150 cover seem a little bit more reasonable. It sucks that the issues weren't included and the page count is significantly less than what was advertised. I won't complain too much though, I'm extatic that we're getting these issues in omnibus format
Great omni, just finished it. Am I the only one who noticed they screwed up the table of contents? Goes from page 1111 (Sea of Fear 1) to 1085 (New Blood). Come on DC, attention to detail…
Everyones talking about vol 2, I want a volume 3 so we get his new 52 run as well
I'm hoping there be collected in volume 2 if not I'll need to try and track them down but the trades are really hard to find now
Geoff Johns made me like and care about Hal Jordan I was a huge Kyle Rayner fan back in the day.
I'm planning on getting Geoff Johns GL Omnis 1-3. Is there any double dipping with this new one? Is it not worth getting if you have those three?
Hi can someone please tell me whats the timeline between this and 3 of Geoff John’s GL omnis? do i read this GLC after or before GJ omnis? please help as i have bought all the omnis. Thank you so much
where does this fit in in the reading order? I know its been a while and its a lot more out now
Those missing issues bothered me. They kept on being referenced severel times in the story. And issue 6 being left out was bad. It introduced us to an important character that would had a big role in sinestro war and had a huge grudge with guy. You would have no clue what was going on.
Literally no reason to keep them out 🥲 Why include issues without Tomasi and Gleason but exactly these are not included
Got most of the floppies of this run.
Ive wanted to get into this era of GL for a while because I’ve heard from many that it’s a great place to start. I just don’t know whether or not to read through all of John’s stuff first or this first or both at once? It’s a lot lol
Read it concurrently.
@@goldendogs5398comics are so confusing lol. Which order should you read them.)?
I don't have any of the omnis, but I've been building a reading order for the Johns-Venditti era. I ordered by single issues, and I included stuff like Blue Beetle and other smaller cameos to be very thorough. There are almost 700 single issues, but I'll streamline a bit for you (and stop with the John's era). Stuff with an asterisk is optional.

@@kamikaze5528 Holy shit yes this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
@@wilburke5793 It's still a work in progress. The Brightest Day part, I'll have to see if I can group the story arcs together instead of spacing them around as I prefer to read everything in one go if it the timeframe of the issues don't conflict.
I'm so glad that this got a release. I'll probably wait for a future compendium though. My wallet is creaking😂
Thank you Omar, I am waiting for my DCBS order to ship. Will you create a video making guesses about the mapping of a potential vol 2?
Hey, I'm really interested in this book and the GLC. But I don't really care that much about Hal Jordan. Is it still a good purchase? Or is GL by Geoff Johns absolutely mandatory to enjoy this?
at 18:10, that page with Martian Manhunter, my friend thinks he has an egg head so he calls him "cabeza de huevo" lol
Hahaha
Can and/or should this run be read on it's own? I've always wanted to read some GL but don't want to commit to 5+ omni's to read the whole johns/tomasi era.
I want this, I love Green Lantern and everything Green Lantern Corps. Can I read this with no other reading of Green lantern stuff? Or should I read Geoff Johns first?
I really hope that DC does not cut corners and start going for thin paper like Marvel has been doing.
It's bound to happen. EVERYTHING has gone up in price and quality isn't what it used to be. Toys, videogames, movies, everything.
@@trishb.6398 That's not a good enough excuse to cut corners or to charge more for an INFERIOR product.
@@frankg586 Man, I hope you don't collect anything else, because all other collectables have gone up.
@@mattthompson3371 What I really hope for is that people stop buying inferior products from these companies. However, that will never happen and people will continue to buy these shitty products.
I have all 3 GL Johns omnis. How much of this omni is overlapped with those. I have not read the GLC and am thinking of buying it, if there isn't too much overlap. Thank you.
Guy Gardiner Omnis please
So what isn't overlap? Seems like 70% of it is overlap.
So if you have all 3 Geoff johns green lantern books do I really need to get this one? (I don’t mind but it just looks like a lot of the issues that’s already collected in the trilogy of books)
curious if the printing of issues that were in GJ GL omni 1 are different or better in this book to compare
Hello, Omar. What should I read first, Geoff Johns three omnibus or this one?
Love it but gonna have to pass. I'm done upgrading. Keeping my trades.
Does anybody think the Morrison Green Lantern will get an Omnibus?
Do you read before GJ Omnis or after?
Can anyone tell me what daredevil omni compares to Geoff johns run on green lantern?
this arrived through the post couple days ago
instantly took a pic, posted on Instagram and tagged Near Mint Condition 😁
These “Overview” videos get a bit too much into recap territory with an excess of plot points, but I still appreciate hearing about the mapping and included issues. Cheers
I cannot agree with you, Omar, when you seem to condone DC for having skipped issues that were solicited, out of love for the content. I too love it, I have all of the old standard HCs, which are not complete either I think. And if the skipped issues had not been solicited, sure, it wouldn't be an issue other than personal preference.
But it's not the case, they were advertised as part of the book in a strict and binding pre-order system. People who pre-ordered this pretty costly collector's item and are not happy with DC's choice should be allowed to send back their copies and being refunded, in my opinion.
(and no, it's not a matter of cultural wars against rich men north of Richmond, it's just false advertising... Pretty sure in the EU we have consumers rights laws covering that).
People can do what they want with their money. It’s a great series and years in the making. Does it suck? Absolutely? But I leave it up to my viewers to decide what to do. As you can see from the comments some aren’t getting it and others are or did.
They didn’t start the standard HCs until volume 4 of the run. So you need the trades to complete it.
@@NearMintConditionPeople can do whatever they want with their money, no question. My point was that they said "give us your money in advance, we will bring you a book with XX issues", but at the end of the day you receive XX minus 3. You should be allowed to send the item back and be refunded, if you feel like it. For sure you can with Amazon and other big online retailers, being the description different from the final product. But you can't with comic shops, unless they're in the mood of making you a favor.
@@andreamateria3106 I see your point now. That really is up to the comic stores to argue with distributors and they can take it up to DC. That's how recalls start unfortunately.
Wrong solicit, no page numbers, thin paper, gutter loss, guy gardiner issues missing, creator centric rather than series centric....great stories, dumpster fire omni
DC, dissappoints continually
$200 for content I have in trades. I think I'm out.
Another DC omnibus where the solicit was wrong. Sigh.
I’ll pass.I have all of it in hardcover format.
Guy Gardner an idiot? Unsubbed! He’s the best green lantern and best dc character.
He’s a lovable idiot. Like some of my family.
@@NearMintCondition he’s the best green lantern.
Pass
Not good?
