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

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

@charlieblix

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

@charlieblix I agree with thefragilenin. the last arc was good but certainly not essential. Jump on. Enjoy.

@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 AM

It 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 AM

Last 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 AM

Yeah, jump on in.  The water's nice and warm...and green.

On second thought, that doesn't sound too inviting.

Alright.  Book has been pulled.

Anybody know anything about the new artists? I was really diggin the Patrick Gleason stuff.

Last issue was great! Can't wait for this one!

Somehow 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?

I 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.

I'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 PM

I 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.

*issue

lol, I gotta stop typing with my toes.

Posted by WadeWilson on 08/16/08 at 04:34 AM

As 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.
