10 Reasons why Geoff Johns' Green Lantern is... JUST THE BEST!

Green Lantern by Geoff Johns is, in my opinion, JUST THE BEST! It's been 10 years since he finished his historic run that started with Rebirth, gave us the Sinestro Corps War, Blackest Night and continued into the New 52!
If you love Green Lantern and Geoff Johns, then this is a must watch! And if not, fair warning, I'd watch a different video!

After his JSA run, Johns Green Lantern is the definitive run of the character and his mythology. I specially love how Johns portrayed Hal and Sinestro rivalry, giving GL enemy much more complexity and understantable motivation. His lines to Jordan in Johns final issue are very emotional.

[@alanrichardson1816]

Yess, plus the comedy all fits so brilliant.

[@alexandrefrauches132]

With James Gunn now apparently rebooting DC film universe, I really hope he uses Geoff Johns run as the base for the GL films. I would love to see trilogy adapting stories like Green Lantern Secret Origin and Sinestro Corp War (as for Blackest Night, I think should be DCEU equivalent of IW and Endgame, a big crossover with GL and all DC heroes trying to save the universe from the Black Lanterns).

[@bbbrickstudios6067]

Kyle ranner actually had his own series called ion during Geof Johns run

[@fandombat3074]

Geoff John is one of the best writer of green lantern. It was the run that got me into green lantern.

[@robbyrne7011]

Amazing video dude. This run was truly amazing and by far the beat green lantern run out there. Geoff johns definitely took this character to a new height and gave us a comic run to remember.

[@MirridonOnslaught]

Geoff Johns is what got me into Green Lantern. My all time favorite series for any comic,, is the Black Lantern run. It swept my imagination away.

[@MaddoggComics]

Glad we share the same gateway into Green Lantern! Thanks for watching the video mate! :)

[@fandombat3074]

The run was so funny. And the art was amazing. I wish other writer would write the guardians like Geoff

[@tommyvasquez2708]

this is a good jumping off point for people that don't think hal jordan is either interesting or good of a character (myself included). hal's story started off really rough here with him having to deal with the specter and parallax but it quickly showed why he's one of the best lanterns to exist or probably even the best lantern to exist. it was a really good read that showed the best of hal while making it digestible for modern day audiences

[@haltwhogoesthere47]

Geoff Johns run is what put me on to Green Lantern and it’s most definitely one of my favorite comic series ever. Everything about it felt like a big sci fi epic and it ended in a way where I have no intention of reading anything after his run

[@OnionSavoya-jf5hz]

DC really got to organize it's cosmic characters

[@Videodrome1991]

Geoff's GL run was so good, his final story is basically the series finale of GL where the main characters get their ending, meaning you can write off the less talented subsequent writers that picked the run when he left.

[@nicktroisi6347]

One major reason want to read Johns’ run on GL is that it’s a perfect starting point for anyone new to the Green Lantern mythos and the characters within. Some other reasons it’s fantastic: 1. Explains the previous history of The Corps and everything leading up to Rebirth 2. Has some of the best DC storylines to date. 3. Introduces new characters, worlds and Lantern Corps

[@AndDeathForAll82]

I’ve never read 3 whole Omnis that fast in my life. Incredible run, at least until New 52 started and things got weird continuity-wise. Because of that, I now stop the third omnibus after Brightest Day.

[@maximus7164]

loving these regular videos recently and i might just have to pick the first omni up of this soon, thanks and keep it up

[@erronford9274]

I am brand new to your channel and now have subscribed…I LOVE John’s run on Green Lantern. The core is by far my favorite part of DC. And his run was top notch. Great video! I’m a fan of you and the storyline 😊

[@theblindjedi41]

Great video for an amazing series. Green Lantern Rebirth is what got me back into comics and always has a special place in my heart.

[@KalParkaran]

Fun video! Look forward to more! I’ve been meaning to do a reread after getting omnibus 2 and 3 and I may need to bump it up the list after watching this

[@OmniNationComics]

One of the greatest runs of ALL TIME ! Love your list of reasons bro. This makes me wanna go back and read it again ! So good !

[@dylantortosa7678]

Absolute truth. I still feel like no other DC story post the GL Saga ever hit as hard as the entire GL run ending with Blackest Night and Brighest Day

[@spoogiedaboogieman]

Although Johns was allegedly toxic with regard to film projects, his writing is nearly unparalleled; Sinestro Corps War, Flashpoint, New 52 (all JL members, especially Aquaman imo) have all been addicting reads- its hard to stop yourself from reading cover to cover.

[@CS11]

Okay yeah you’ve officially made me bite the bullet and pick up this run. Thank you and great video

[@jadens3419]

Just picked up the 3 omnibuses over the holidays. Can’t wait to dive in!

[@charliereddick9914]

Great video mate! This in my opinion also is….just the best! It was the first multi-omnibus saga run I read. And it’s just got better and better. Tbh if I hadn’t read this so early on in my comic reading journey. Im not sure if I’d have stayed around as much as I have since.

[@stephentheshywarrior2759]

GL is one of those runs I keep on meaning to pick up but never do. I've got no excuse really apart from Marvel stop releasing so many books😂 It sounds like grandiose epic storytelling and you made some fantastic points during the video, Cannot lie you've tempted me even more. Sounds right up my alley.😋 I wish they'd collect Tomasi run again too in some format too. Just wanted to say a big thank you as well for your comment on the previous vid. Honestly your words brought a big goofy smile to my face. I just like to help and so glad you appreciate it mate.😁

[@stephentheshywarrior2759]

Hope you make a few more in this series. I just love seeing you geek out on something your passionate about.😄

[@blue-12316]

Green lantern is the best superhero

[@she-hulk7577]

This run was just so amazing. The art was a little pop. But it still was amazing

[@bharathsundararajan]

Great, looking forward to reading the run after this hype! 🙂

[@ginofrancejr555]

Even though Geoff Johns has been problematic over the past couple of years you cannot defy that his GL RUN IS THE DEFINITIVE RUN OF THE CHARACTER he expanded the lore have more depth to characters like Kyle guy John and hal. ( My favorite GL is John Stewart) he also reinvented sinestro into an anti hero. It's the only Geoff Johns book I will reread but not the arc with Ethan can sciver on art

[@azuresaiyan9005]

How has he been “problematic”?

[@TheWrestlinEra]

I got the Blackest Night Omnibus for Christmas last year and it’s just gorgeous 🤌🏾

[@garyfoster65]

Another great video - thanks. Never been the biggest GL fan but am now scouring eBay for Vols 2 & 3 (already have 1) based on this. Hope I’m not going regret this!!!

[@MrStefanops]

Geoff Johns' Green Lantern run is truly incredible, it's a shame GLs are so underrated. Hal is my favorite DC character because of this run.

[@nicktroisi6347]

I’ve only just bought Volume 1 and I’m halfway though the book and holy shit is it awesome. The artwork *is* phenomenal I love Ethan Van Sciver’s and Ivan Reis’ artwork The storylines so far are amazing and I cannot wait for Sinestro Corps War and Blackest Night. Best $200 (AUD) I’ve ever spent

[@Chester781]

I just read these 3 omnis and I agree with all your points(except Larfleeze Christmas special) This was amazing

[@centrist1008]

He is 100% correct

[@TevyaSmolka]

i love Geoff johns green lantern its really awesome

[@dhruvwason1992]

Just the video I wanted to watch!

[@MaddoggComics]

Thank you, Dhruv! Wasn't sure if this video would do well or not, but just wanted make something I could be hyped for :) Hope you enjoy it!

[@dhruvwason1992]

@@MaddoggComics Mostly certainly did! The timing could not have been any better since I'm currently reading this run! ❤️

[@Blackwing2040]

Excellent. I don't know if you take requests or not, but have you ever reviewed all of Geoff Johns JL run?

[@olestokke]

Thank you for the video, Marcus! I’ve tried to start reading the first GL Omnibus of GJs run, and being New to GL, I’ve been a bit confused. Both times I’ve gotten to Green arrow using a GL ring. Does it get a lot better after that?

[@benvinciblevince4067]

Haven’t read much green lantern, but always been more attracted to ‘cosmic superhero’s’ I’ve picked up both omnibus volumes for Geoff Johns (1&2)

[@josephpatrick6672]

There are 3 omnibus volumes of Johns Green Lantern

[@benvinciblevince4067]

@@josephpatrick6672 I’ve just got the 3rd now! Thanks

[@MythicalP]

Oh men. I want to read for the first time THIS

[@user-cx5fd9qs2j]

The only thing I don't like about the run is that DC didn't let that ending remain canon. The ending of his run was so darn good that I still haven't read any of the stuff that have come after.

[@dddaaa6965]

im just about to start reading blackest night BEWK, one on jsa would be cool, everybody loves it but there's hardly any videos about it

[@S.O.Sstateofstupor]

Can u post a video of a list of comic series from marvel ,dc,image comics on what u personally think are the best wich have came out in the past 3 years

[@zebastianjonsson2719]

good thing i ordered it last week😎

[@maxleon61702]

Holy cow.

[@captaineo5821]

I've been meaning to collect this run for a while, but I've been having trouble figuring out what format I should read it in. Should I collect the trades that started printing a couple years back? Or should I buy the omnibuses?

[@stephentheshywarrior2759]

I would've gone the trade route but they stopped making them before getting to the end so get the omnis.

[@soar123]

Omibuses are the best way to get into DC runs. A little pricey but thr omnibuses are well made. They feel like an event onto themselves

[@nicktroisi6347]

Get the Omni’s man They are big, they are expensive and they look daunting to read but trust me it’ll be worth it Don’t worry about the Blackest Night Omni because that mainly collects the tie ins and GL Omnibus 2 collects the main Blackest Night Story. You can if you want to but personally I would stick with the 3 Omni’s and The Brightest Day omni So your collection should look like this GL Omni 1 GL Omni 2 Brightest Day GL Omni 3

[@stephentheshywarrior2759]

I would like why the new 52 is just the best.🙂

[@My_Toy_Soldiers]

Please tell me you are wearing the Dragon Ball Z snuddie

[@siniquezu]

No solid collection I've seen doesn't have this run in some form

[@diegodreossi1458]

It is impossible write Green Lantern today without using anything of this run, Johns did a phenomenal job. Ps: I would like if Kyle were the main character from this run, i like Hal, but the comics needed move forward, Kyle was the Green Lantern.

[@rococopati]

i disagree the best run was kyle rayner's green lantern he had to fix the mess hal jordan did.

[@jadecasssie]

People really got mad over the title of your video? Lol yikes.

[@mohameddiaa7903]

أدعوك للدخول الي الإسلام

[@caesarchaves07]

He's a good writer but bad person in real life

[@jaycurtis5036]

The rainbow lanterns are STUPID. Sinestro got his ring from the weaponeers of Qward and it was yellow because that was Green Lanterns weakness. Star Sapphire was the only one with that power. I must also mention that isn't Johns the guy that created the idiotic speed force. He is why I quit reading Green Lantern who was tied with my other favorite Flash (Barry Allen) Who was supposed to be forever dead, due to his sacrifice in Crisis on Infinite Earths.

[@BOOGIE23er]

Can you explain more why you don’t like it. I’ve never read it but I’d like to a different perspective on it.
