Green Lantern: Revenge of the Green Lanterns. By Geoff Johns


Green Lantern: Revenge of the Green Lanterns isn't so much of a single story as it is more a collection of 3 story arcs.  It starts off with Hal Jordan reconnecting with his old life and teaming up with his best friend Oliver Queen, AKA Green Arrow, against the children of Mongul who want to destroy the earth.  The story then shifts to a team up of Hal and Batman.  It is a story of two heroes who have fallen out of favor with each other since Hal has come back.  I have to say I kind of like the way Johns portrays Batman in this story.  He kind of makes him look like a jerk, not caring what anyone else thinks.  Batman is going to do things they way he thinks they should be, no matter what the rest of the Justice League thinks.  After that we get to the meat of the story when Hal finds out that some of the Lanterns that were though to have been killed by him when he became Paralax are said to still exist.  Which leads up to another team up with Guy Gardner, as the two lanterns head to uncharted regions (against the orders of the guardians) and battle Manhunters, as well as the mastermind behind it all.  There is nothing really spectacular about this story, but does setup some character that will be used in future Green Lantern issues.  All in all, a good continuation of Geoff Johns take on Green Lantern.
