green lantern by geoff johns omnibus vol 3

It is just too heavy! Final note: there is a mistake in the publisher's informational blurb, the Omnibus does contain the complete run of Blackest Night #0 - 8. The only drawback is that while the book is 'beautifully' made, it is just too impractical to read comfortably ( I had the same problem with the FF and Thor Omnibuses ). The Omnibus is better than the Absolute version, because it contains the best part of 'Blackest Night' - the prologue to the 'War of Light'. I really wanted to get 'Absolute Blackest Night' just to get the 'interweaving' storyline in proper order and to look at the art in oversized format - but the prices are ridiculous ( I should have bought it 5 years ago ! ) and so 'settled' for the Omnibus instead. But DC is in the business of making money, so you can't just simp ly kill off some of your major/minor characters and leave them dead. Johns is the author of The New York Times bestselling graphic novels Aquaman- The Trench, Blackest Night, Green Lantern- Sinestro Corps War, Justice League- Origin, Superman- Brainiac and Batman- Earth One which hit 1 on the bestseller list. Of course 'Blackest Night' had to be a let down ( too many things going on -but what glorious art-work ) and a very unsatisfactory cop-out 'Brightest Day' ending. Geoff Johns is an award-winning writer and one of the most popular contemporary comic book writers today.

These are the comics that made me want to start collecting superhero comics again ( I gave up after being disgusted with the Claremont/Romita Jr run on X-Men ). The highlight of Geoff John's fantastic run on Green Lantern: The Introduction of the Alpha Lanterns, Secret Origin ( a reboot of the Abin-Sur /Hal Jordan origin story with a nod to Alan Moore's 'Tyger's' to set-up Blackest Night ), then the glorious 'Rage of the Red Lanterns' and 'Agent Orange' to introduce the 'War of Light' - the most brilliant story arc in all of Green Lantern's storied history. The Highlight of Geoff John's Fantastic Green Lantern Run
