Wheres a good jumping on point for this? I'm okay with buying some back issues.

this is probably a good spot for jumping on. Only GL Corps I read was during the Sinestro Wars so this is really my first GL Corps by itself. It's supposed to start building toward blackest night in this one so it's probalby a good spot to jump on. if you get confused, there is always wikipedia
Posted by thefragilenin on 08/12/08 at 12:44 AM@charlieblix I agree with thefragilenin. the last arc was good but certainly not essential. Jump on. Enjoy.
Posted by smoggy on 08/12/08 at 12:52 AM@CharlieBlix -- I would say issue #1 was a good jumping on point! Almost every issue of this book has been awesome since then. But, the last issue was the end of a story arc, so jump on this issue & you should be cool. If you like good sci-fi -- you wont regret it.
Hey, didn't this book come out like 2 weeks ago? Why is out again so fast (not complaining, just curious)?
Posted by WadeWilson on 08/12/08 at 01:26 AMIt came out about three weeks ago. Yeah, it's a little quick, but what the hey.
Posted by Tork on 08/12/08 at 02:48 AMLast issue was my first and it was the conclusion of an arc and I had no problem enjoying it. So I would say jump on board, it's a good read.
Posted by Kory on 08/12/08 at 06:52 AMYeah, jump on in. The water's nice and warm...and green.
On second thought, that doesn't sound too inviting.
Posted by TomO on 08/12/08 at 09:16 AMAlright. Book has been pulled.
Posted by CharlieBlix on 08/12/08 at 10:26 AMAnybody know anything about the new artists? I was really diggin the Patrick Gleason stuff.
Posted by rift1128 on 08/12/08 at 10:59 AMLast issue was great! Can't wait for this one!
Posted by JrSaldivar on 08/13/08 at 01:23 AMSomehow this wasn't in my stack when I got home. Guess I took for granted that it would be there. Did it even come out today?
Posted by FACE on 08/13/08 at 06:13 PMI am not a fan of the art in this issue. Not on par with recent issues.
The new lantern with the "sixth sense" is a little too convenient. He just happens to show up right before his services are needed with the eyeballs. It feels like he needed to be a background player for a few issues before becoming integral.
Posted by stuclach on 08/13/08 at 08:01 PMI'm not well versed in Green Lantern lore, but was I supposed to go 'OH SHIT' when the bad guy was revealed on the last page. Am I supposed to know who he is.
Posted by Kory on 08/14/08 at 08:57 AM@Kory. I had the same question. This was my first GL Corps comic and while I thought it was pretty good I'm sure it didn't impact me the way it was written to.
Posted by CharlieBlix on 08/14/08 at 11:29 AM@Kory and CharlieBlix - I also have no idea who that was. However, his eyes were really large and shiny, so he must be evil.
Posted by stuclach on 08/14/08 at 01:07 PMI don't think we are meant to know who that last page reveal is, at least I hope not, because I have no idea.
Sweet isse, though.

lol, I gotta stop typing with my toes.
Posted by WadeWilson on 08/16/08 at 04:34 AMAs a new reader, I have to agree that the biggest drawback to this series is that you can only mix insect features with the alien grey look so many different ways.
I thought the face in the baddie revelation was the crypt-keeper until I went back and noticed they had different teeth.

Last issue was my first and it hooked me when I saw a Lantern that was a fly.
