The Sinestro Corps War rages on!
This harcover TPB edition contains “Green Lantern” #24-25 and “Green Lantern Corps” #16-19. Featuring the second volume of the “Sinestro Corps War” event.
Creative Team:
Writers: Geoff Johns, Dave Gibbons & Peter J. Tomasi
Illustrators: Ivan Reis, Ethan Van Sciver & Patrick Gleason
ARMED & DANGEROUS
Green Lanterns are cops, space cops to be more exactly, but…
…their power rings, the most powerful weapons in the universe…
…weren’t able to kill…
In the eyes of Sinestro, the Green Lanterns were empty threats.
Any cop in the world is armed with a gun (even on UK where only certain selected car units carry weapons under key), and those guns kill, certainly they have to be used as a last resort, but at the end, for better or worse, cops are respected due they carry lethal weapons…
…and now, due the stress done by the Sinestro Corps, the Guardians of the Universe changed the Book of Oa, and now the power rings were able to use lethal force against Sinestro Corps agents.
Sinestro won.
Not matter the outcome of this Sinestro Corps War, finally the Green Lanterns are being lead to the position in the universe that Sinestro always wanted, space cops carrying lethal weapons.
True, the power rings were defined to employ that lethal force against only Sinestro Corps members, but…
…once blood is tested by the Green Lanterns…
…once the first exception in added to their rings…
...it’s only a matter of time, when they’ll be able to apply lethal punishment against other kind of criminals…
…Sinestro knows this, it’s not about “if” but “when” and he knows that it’ll be soon, quite soon.
The alien life forms in the universe will be afraid of their space protectors due their new lethal-level on their power rings. The Green Lanterns won’t be living emblems of willpower but of fear.
Fear will overcome the Willpower.
Even if Sinestro loses his war, the real goal will be reached.
Order will come to the universe.
It’s all that Sinestro wants.
BRAVE NEW SPECTRUM
Ganthet and Sayd have been expelled from the Guardians of the Universe.
Their sin? Their crime?
Feelings. Emotions.
They feel and that was seen as a mistake by the rest of the Guardians of the Universe.
Now, Ganthet and Sayd have exposed to the Green Lanterns of Space Sector 2814, where Earth is part of, a shocking revelation from the Book of Oa.
The Green color, the color of willpower, was the color which glowed in the first. Chosen by the Guardians of the Universe since it was the color at the center of the spectrum, the more balanced…
…but there are other colors!
Certainly Sinestro has been using the Yellow color of fear for decades, and now even he just organized his own Corps based on that color.
And don’t forget the Warrior Women of Zamarons, old enemies of the Green Lanterns, whom have they used Star Sapphire as their herald. They had chosen the Violet color of Love. And while you may naively think as something good…
…remember that many wars have been battled in the name of love. Many crimes have been commited in the name of love.
However, there still to be seen four more colors! That the now renegade Guardians informed about to the Green Lanterns from Earth.
The universe of Green Lantern never was so colorful as it will be in its incoming future.
Never so colorful.
Never so divided.
Never so dangerous.
Never so entertained!
It’s a brand new era for Green Lantern comic books, and as I commented in the review of the previous volume, since its massive restructuring in the Silver Age of DC Comics, Green Lantern will expand its own inner universe of characters as no one could ever dream.
And there is even two other more colors, beyond the four ones soon to appear!

Sinestro is your modern day Adolf Hitler alien from space. He brings the whole series together and gives it meaning. Without him this series would be a lot less enjoyable.
And crikey who doesn't love be a fight between Two sentient planets, plus a superman prime suped up with a sunlight suit taking on the whole justice league and let's not forget...THE ANTI MONITOR! He devours universes and he just casually lands in New York! Awesome.

This continues the epic cosmic craziness of the Sinestro Corps War. It's pretty much action all the way through with lots of double page spreads of what seems like hundreds of aliens fighting each other. It's fun to pick out the Earth heroes in these scenes--almost like a DC version "Where's Waldo". My favorite part is the epilogue after all of the action is complete. Several surviving lanterns are show returning to regular life after the war. The best is seeing Kilowog sitting down to dinner with his wife and two kids. I enjoyed that single page more than all of the pages spent on action during the war. It's these kinds of small character moments that make comics worth reading.
May 1, 2014
A fitting conclusion but not as strong as the first volume which had plenty of tension. This one amounts to just one cosmic fight scene with a pretty typical GL formula.
“I hate you, your evil and you kill people ” (constructs something cool with ring and starts bludgeoning with it)
“I hate you more because I’m evil” (constructs something equally as a cool and starts stabbing with it)
(Rinse/Lather/Repeat)
And that’s pretty much the whole book in a nutshell, I hope I didn’t spoil it for anyone.

the ending to this omg i’m so excited to see what comes next

I really liked this storyline, but I felt that volume 2 was just not as good as the first volume. It ended kinda wonky and was really slow at first. Reading the Tales of the Sinestro Corps before this helped to understand the major players better. Must read Crisis storylines too before you try to read this.

Great story continuation about The Sinestro Corps War series from DC Universe.
I had fun reading this book and could not stop putting it down. I can't wait to explore more of this story arc.
Hopefully, my local public library has the other volumes available.

Even better than the first one! Crazier, more colorful, and even more epic. I loved this whole arc so much. Highly recommend.

Yep this is how you do an event and also end it!
I've said it so many times that I don't like event book so let's go straight into the review. This is the second book of the huge Sinestro Corp event. Luckily it was not a publisher wide event like Final Crisis but rather a line wise event for all GL related books. The first half of the series was great, wit it's super space operay bombastic fast paced explosion heavy issues. Bad was an understatement of the situation the Green Lantern Corps found themselves in, so I was wondering how they would wrap this up and whether it would be satisfying or would it be a cop out which many event books are, they push the characters to the breaking point and magically everything is resolved in the end and the fallout is minimal. It's somewhere in the middle, but still very good.
World: The art is great, with Van Sciver and Gleason taking the bulk of the issues, both are wonderful in what they do, Van Sciver is really good at portraying motion and light and power while Gleason is really good at making the battles seem dirty and harsh and painful. Green Lantern during this Johns run really had quality art to go with it's writing. In terms of world building, sure there is a bit of it here and there with the step by step reveal of the Blackest Night prophecy. Johns clearly has a long term plan for the series that extends beyond this event here and you can tell that by the way he is building his world, it's amazing. I will say that with the huge world that he was built and all the different star systems (even on Earth), I'm a bit miffed that the final attack points of the Sinestro Corps are all continential America based. Yes I know this is an American comic book, but an event like this deserves a bigger and wider scope, I sometimes just don't like this with comic books. Overall the world building is amazing and the locales and places are great.
Story: Same as the first half of the arc, it's fast, it's loud and it's space operay. It reads like an action movie and thus the second half is all non stop action and bombast. The amount of characters and locales ensures that the battle is endless and the tension gets greater and greater. I know this is an event book so I expected the huge cast of characters all doing a lot of stuff every issue, but wow this was really breakneck. The pacing of the stories was good because we got to alternate between all the lanterns and their different missions. As I said, this was a fun read. So what irked me? Well the ending was fine, but like all event books at the brink everything gets pulled back and real consequence is not really felt. This is not just a problem with Green Lantern but the superhero comic book genre as a whole. So much is put into these characters that if anything were to happen to them to change their status quo is not allowed, and even if it was it is only temporary. No one of substance really dies and therefore you feel the invisible safety net of the world wrapped around the main characters. Also, bringing out the big baddies of Prime and the Anti-Moniter and having it end the way it did was very anti-climatic, that's the problem with super baddies, if they are so amazing why is it at the end after so many issues of fighting and winning they lose to the most unsatisfactory way. They also don't die and are locked back into the DC vault to be used again in a future date, as I said no consequences. Still it was a fun read but in the end it fell into the trap that all superhero comic books fall into, the status quo.
Characters: There is surprisingly a lot of characters development going on with this throughout the series, even with all the loud explosions and fights. We get dialog and snippets of development from Hal, Kyle and a whole slew of characters. We also get a huge chunk of Guardians development as Johns sets up the Blackest Night. Additionally with the huge cast of characters I was very surprised at how many Lanterns I knew and came to know for their personality, this is a testament of the writing and the art creating a fully formed world with interesting characters for the readers to care about. Oh and one last thing, they were even able to sneak an full issue of development for people who had not idea Sodam Yat was, his entrance into the GLU was a bit "who?" when it started but this issue gave him some context, it was a bit wonky the way this very important character was introduced at first, but this arc quickly gave us glimpses of who he is.
This was a really fun read and what I love about the GL books, but much like all superhero comicbooks, there is a lack of consequence and gravity to the story. Still massive fun and wonderfully written, this is one of the best event books I've read in a while.
Onward to the next book!

Pongo la misma reseña para ambos tomos y el especial de los "Sinestro Tales" porque los leí en revistas separadas y ni sé dónde arranca cada uno, pero en conjunto van narrando todos más o menos lo mismo. Se trata de un "Evento" comiquero con muchos pochoclos de colores, una historia con una premisa interesante no muy bien llevada y altibajos constantes. Los dibujo se mantienen en un nivel bastante bueno pero no así los guiones, que oscilan entre partes entretenidas y estremecedoras y otras ridículas y aburridas como ellas solas. La verdad que no es el tipo de comic de superhéroes que a mí me gusta pero tampoco me pareció malo, y al haberlo leído sin muchas expectativas, no me decepcionó, y eso que ni Johns ni Gibbons (como guionista) son santos de mi devoción. Cuando tenga tiempo me pondré a leer la más ultrapochoclera y colorinche "Blackest Night", que preveo que tendrá altibajos similares a esta saga, que no es más que un gran preludio.

Conclusion of the story begun in Green Lantern, Vol. 4: The Sinestro Corps War, Vol. 1
Epic story with BIG stakes and great villains. Parallax is getting annoying and overplayed, but then there's Cyborg Superman, Superboy Prime, and Sinestro & his Sinestro Corps to contend with. And oh! - how could I forget the Anti-Monitor! The Green Lanterns really have their work cut out for them. Who will live? Who will die? This is the storyline that Geoff Johns' run has been building up to, and it does not disappoint!

A good conclusion to the title conflict, and an introduction to something DC has really run with since. Anything that features Guy Gardner, especially a well-written Guy Gardner, will always get a bump up from me, bot overall I thought the book balanced action - lots and lots of action - with the right amount of character development, humor and mythology.
Also, a team book where the people actually work as a team? Be still my beating heart :)

The tide of the war has turned against the Sinestro Corps but its most powerful members, Sinstro himself, Cyborg Superman, Superboy Prime and the Anti-Monitor, remain at large. They then unleash their endgame, targeting not the home of the Green Lanterns, Oa, but instead the lynchpin of the multiverse, Earth.
The first book of the Sinestro Corps War was epic in scale, showing battlefronts across the universe but the conclusion brings the war to Earth, giving it a more focused and, for Hal, Kyle, John and Guy, a more personal feel.
Those four, who longtime fans will have followed for decades, all get a significant role to play and I really liked that, with some of the other Green Lantern books feeling a bit too much like The Hal Jordan Show.
The other things I really enjoyed was the continued expansion of the Green Lantern lore to include a whole spectrum of emotional powers. The Lanterns are the green of willpower and Sinestro uses the yellow of fear, but here we learn that there are five other corps which will soon have a significant role to play.

This is going to be pretty much the same review as I gave for volume one.
Often, when you put on an epic space battle that spans more than one trade paperback or hardcover volume, you've either got an absolute mess of incomprehensible plot points with very little way to track what is happening when, or the story is constantly broken up by character beats and the rhythm of the story gets lost.
There are a few pages near the climax of the event where they flip back and forth between battles in New York and Coast City, and it starts to feel a little jumbly, and the pacing, particularly for the New York battle, gets turbulent. But I never stopped being invested in what was happening.
This is truly one of the best Giant Massive Everybody Is Fighting Superhero books I can remember reading, and it gives me hope that the whole Blackest Night event will live up to my memory of how good it felt when I read it in 2009 & 2010.

Though the scale of this arc is undoubtedly epic, there is something quite repetitive about it all by the second half. The desperation and tension of the conflict is sustained, but so many battles in so many locations with so many participants and no contrast induces a sense of detachment from the underlying heart of the story. This is pretty much a bunch of action figures mashed against each other with not much subversion to keep things interesting.
December 29, 2021
Latter half of the big Sinestro Corps War story, with a really kickass ending I think readers will love. Shows GLs in their true glory and most badass when they're backed into a wall, with repercussions from their actions that'll definitely come back to haunt them in the future.

The conclusion of the Sinestro Corps War had it's moments, but again a lot of the story was standalone and didn't flow as well as it could have.

Better than I thought.
I missed a good book.
Glad to catch this story.
A very good lead-in to Blackest Night.
Some of my favorite Lantern stories invole the whole Corps.
