Well, I finished Green Lantern: Tales of the Sinestro Corps last weekend. It was pretty good. It gave a TON of back ground info everything in the Green Lantern Universe. It listed all the Green Lanterns in the Corp, all members of the Sinestro Corp and a breif bio on each of them. It is basically an encyclopedia of all things Green Lantern. Like the title suggests, the bulk of this book is tales of the Sinestro Corps. During the Sinestro Corp Wars, there are a number of Yellow Lanterns that have major parts in the War. This book gives some back ground origin stories and historical events leading up to their roles in the war. We already know how Amon Sur gets to be in the Sinestro Corp, so he isn't covered in there, but the rest are. Though I liked most of the content, this book did not have as much continuity as other books. It was more of a greatest hits album of the Sinestro Coprs. I felt that the content would have been better placed somewhere else. Maybe in a large omnibus like edition that put this in with the Sinestro Corps War. Though the content is valuable in the building to the richness the Green Lantern Universe, it is not a must have unless you can't get enough of the Green Lantern Corps or are a person that just has to compete a set.
