A comprehensive look at the reading order of Green Lantern Part 2!!

[@robertsv539]

Alright, the second part: 22) Green Lantern / Green Arrow Hard-Travelling Heroes (out of order but worth a read) 23) Green Lantern - Geoff Johns Omnibus 1 (Sinestro CORPS/GL 21-25 /GL CORPS 14-19, SINESTRO CORPS Special 1) 24) Tales of the Sinestro CORPS (some items left out in the Omnibus) 25) Green Lantern CORPS - Ring Quest 26) Green Lantern - Geoff Johns Omnibus 2 (#26-42) 27) PRE Blackest Night Reading List: a. Possibly read Final Crisis before Blackest Night (not directly GL story, but shows the impact on the DC Universe) b. GL CORPS - Sins of the Star Sapphire c. GL CORPS - Emerald Eclipse d. See “Revolt of the Alpha-Lanterns” note 28) Finish Green Lantern - Geoff Johns Omnibus 2 OR Blackest Night Omnibus 29) Brightest Day Omnibus (not GL specific) 30) Green Lantern - Geoff Johns Omnibus 3 (#53-57) 31) Green Lantern CORPS - Revolt of the Alpha-Lanterns (*NB! Possibly read #21-22 BEFORE Blackest Night) 32) Green Lantern CORPS - The Weaponer 33) Green Lantern Emerald Warriors (#1-7) 34) Green Lantern - Geoff Johns Omnibus 3 (War of the Green Lanterns) 35) War of the Green Lanterns - Aftermath 36) Flashpoint Thankfully this seems a bit more available than the previous ones.

[@commander0zero]

Thank you so much for this!!!!!!!

[@arthurrogers2100]

Just to clarify... are these omnibus’s in reading order? Like blackest night and green lantern blackest night are mixed within the omnibus or what?

[@RasputinVasilliov]

Just perfect content for those of us not fully aware of how to read these stories, Batman could use the same attention. Thanks for taking the time to do these, man.

[@NearMintCondition]

Thank you for taking the time to watch these. :)

[@ericsaye5250]

Geoff Johns Green Lantern is my favorite single run that i have read! I almost did t read it because i thought GL was kinda dumb. Johns def proved my very very wrong! Thanx for the vid Omar!

[@JaEbala]

I’ve thought about picking up GL omnis by Geoff Johns, but it seems like there’s so much stuff missing. Is it enough to just read the omnis to get the whole Johns’ run? Can’t understand if all the comics that you mentioned are necessary reads.

[@lewquaza3166]

Yes read them

[@comicbookcrazy]

Another marvelous job, my friend. You're the only person I watch and trust with this kind of information. I feel like I'm getting a Ph.D. in comics from watching and listening to you. Geoff Johns is one of my all-time favorite writers. His Green Lantern, JSA, and Flash are all some of my favorite stories ever. I don't have the John's Flash Omnis. I hope DC reprints them. And, before I forget, I STILL wish that DC would put a damn table of contents at the front or the full dress of the covers in their Omnis. It's not that hard to do. Didiooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!! #OmarRules #IAmSmarterAfterWatchingOmar

[@NearMintCondition]

Thank you so much my brother. You are too kind. You don't have the Flash omnis..oh but they are getting a reprint!

[@mrpepperami01]

I love that green lantern corps series. Glad to have them all in trade but really is a shame it’s not in omnibus

[@NearMintCondition]

Damn shame, even if there are custom ones floating on eBay from time to time.

[@mrpepperami01]

Near Mint Condition it seems really odd that they haven’t done them to be honest. The series is so integral to Geoff Johns run that it makes sense to have it in omnibus as well.

Thanks Omar for this highly educational video. I have some of this material in the DC Graphic Novels Collection sold as OHC specials but am missing GL: Brightest Day & War of the GL's. I am VERY tempted to go for the 3 Green Lantern Geoff John's Omnis and I see they're still in print. They look beautiful but that's a deep rabbit hole. Looking forward to part 3.

Lets go :D awesome part 2, cant wait for 3. Great job as always Omar, this is a tricky reading order, has a lot of going back and forth. I personally didnt read most of the GLC and only read what was part of the cross overs. So am planning a reading run where I include them and then go into New 52 with all titles :D and I dont even have any reading for the Rebirth run yet :D Really cant wait for part 3.

If you had to recommend me this omnibus,which one would you say it's better i should get first,the blackest night omnibus and brightest day or those geoff johns 3 volumes omnibus of green lantern,I can't decide and I'm relatively new to green lantern,I know basics and other justice league tales but never been immersed into the lanterns and I'm considering either buying the 3 green lantern volumes or the blackest night and brightest day omnis,what would you recommend?

[@ShockWithoutFear]

Definitely the Geoff Johns one so you can get a proper feel for the characters, then after you've read through them all you'll be attached enough for Blackest Night and Brightest Day to mean a lot to you like it did to me

[@thatsupernick9686]

Hey bro, I'm about to go watch part 3, but was wondering, if I were to get a CORE collection of Green Lantern/crossover event material to read and sink my teeth into, would Green Lantern Omnibuses 1-3, Infinite Crisis and Blackest night be good to have in my DC collection? I love what I have seen of the artwork in these books and I'm definitely excited to get back into reading up on this character! I'm actually getting more and more excited to sink my teeth back into reading comics and I love the depth of some of these crossover events and the character stories with every comprehensive reading order I watch which you do. Would genuinely appreciate the advice and/or guidance from you. I haven't read much Green Lantern at all so I'm PUMPED for these stories! Sorry that was so long-winded but looking forward to hearing from you

[@NearMintCondition]

First of all, thank you so much for the kind words and to answer your question. Yes thosre five omnis will set you good. I think some of the Green Lantern Corps sometimes is better than GL, but thats just me. But the omnis you mentioned will set you straight.

Good luck watching part 3.

We say good journey!

Geoff Johns Vol. 2 and Blackest Night content isn’t identical though. If I only get Blackest Night I’m missing issues 26-42. Are those relevant? Do you recommend reading GL Vol. 1 before jumping into Blackest Night? I don’t want to double dip too much getting both Vol. 2 and Blackest Night.

[@NearMintCondition]

Definitely read that GL volume 1 before Blackest Night.

[@LiteratureInPictures]

@@NearMintCondition Thanks. What are stories I’m missing between GL Vol. 1 and Blackest Night? Sinestro Corp War I assume? Trying to find a decent overview online but they only list issues and not how to fill the gap with HC or trades.

[@LiteratureInPictures]

Hey thanks very much for the great content, it's really helpful in providing a basis for collecting Green Lantern. Quick question, would you say that the Ion trades are essential for the reading order? They look good, but they're long out of print and going for a hell of a lot on third party market. Once again, thanks for your great videos!

[@NearMintCondition]

They aren’t essential. Those things are so expensive right now too.

Thank you for watching. GL wasn’t really affected by Flashpoint. Not a lot was retconned really.

Omnibus vol 3 description says it contains GL #53-60, what happens with issues #61-67? War of the green lanterns event is in GL 63-67, so are this seven issies included in the omnibus?

I hate reading out of order but these Omni's are starting to disappear and I only have so much cash so I'm going to jump into the event first.
