Green Lantern Kyle Rayner Rising Compendium Overview | Emerald Twilight

[@Ythelastnerd]

I love the character of Kyle Rayner. He's my favourite GL to this day. I really hope this collection sells well enough to warrant a volume 2, and hopefully one day we can get all of Ron Marz's run collected. Hopefully someone at DC figures out how to use spellcheck before volume 2 is released, though!

[@QuagsireEX]

Time to triple dip! Glad Kyle is getting the love, fingers crossed for more compendiums

[@MagicJulienBertone]

Yes! This book and the upcoming JLA give me high hopes we will get more comppendiums to cover more material that we want to read!

[@STARSH1PPAIN]

​​@@MagicJulienBertone does that JLA compendium covers the Morrison era?

[@MagicJulienBertone]

@@STARSH1PPAIN yes it does

[@STARSH1PPAIN]

@@MagicJulienBertone sweet. I hope to get that one and the Kyle Rayner compendium. The good stuff.

[@collectingmemoriesyt]

Nice of them to release this. Volume one of the trades was pretty expensive on the secondary market. I have the two volumes already but I really hope they continue collecting the Kyle Rayner run in these compendiuns. Take us right up to the Johns run DC!

[@sugarray6250]

Kyle has the most bad ass Green Lantern costume.

[@kcjc]

Picked this up the day it came out. Kyle has always been one of my favorites been a favorite but his trades were tough to come by (at an ok price), I hope they keep it up with these!

[@FreeLatveria]

What a trip down memory lane. Kyle was my first Green Lantern, and i came in here at the ground floor.

[@TheSmart.1]

I snagged just because Ron Marz said on Twitter that if it sells we’ll get more! I’ve only read Kyle in Morrison JLA so I’m glad to finally have a chance to get into his solo stuff.

[@Grabbasplode]

I would probably get if it was part of a Kyle Rayner omnibus. Hopefully they do one eventually.

[@BenjiDWJ]

I appreciate you for taking the time to do this overview Omar! 😄👌 Cheers! 🥃🥃

[@MaximumWarp2099]

I had most of this early run at one point. Loved Daryl Banks’s artwork. Glad to see it is being collected. If only it was in hardcover.

[@erwingu]

Been watching your GL reading order vids and I gotta say you made me piqued my interest with Kyle Rayner. Great overview!

[@ervingarcia874]

I need to see Kyle and Donna back together, man. It's really unfair. Now I guess I will have to annoy DC editorial to get them back together no matter what. #GetKyleandDonnabacktogether

[@McDuendis]

Now I have it too. Waiting to be read lol

[@forrfuun8470]

I wonder if they will contine this. Kyle deserve some full collection in trades.

[@Havok1718]

Just got this one hell yea 💪😁. Been waiting to read Emerald Twilight for a minute.

[@jordanfox2128]

This is great! Kyle was my GL growing up, too, and I discovered the history of the corps alongside him. Hope all this material is collected as an Omni some day. Omar, Kyle’s Latino heritage was a retcon Winick introduced sometime during his run. It wasn’t out of place, or anything, but it did come across a little forced. Marz had a couple of other depictions of Kyle’s father in one of the GL Secret Origins issues (where Kyle’s father meets Hal just after Hal gets his ring) and a brief cameo in a crossover with Connor Hawke.

[@dylry86]

I opted not to get this because the issues are collected in the two Kyle TPBs I already own. I hope they will continue to collect his series along with other series they suddenly stopped collecting like Jim Balent’s Catwoman, Peter David’s Supergirl, Tim Drake Robin, Shadow of the Bat, and Birds of Prey.

[@curare9130]

Can you overview the Superman Warworld Compendium

[@Peanut.Butter.Runner]

Can’t wait for my copy to arrive! Hope DC do more classic Green Lantern runs in compendiums (along with other books of course). I love my Omnibus but this is a far more convenient format for actually reading.

[@colekcionismo6165]

Kyle is my favorite GL, and I have the two trades. I hope that DC continue this line (or an omnibus). Marz run on Kyle is fantastic!

[@samuellasuzzo435]

I loved this period. I have this book ordered.

[@ryanclark6602]

Got mine the other day. Hopefully they will continue more with Kyle rayner. Is he in any titles currently?

[@dylry86]

Nope.

[@mattthompson3371]

I did enjoy this era of Green Lantern, I was on the fence, but now I'm in. I hope we get a volume 2.

[@toeknee1505]

Very cool review of this compendium, Omar. I did not know that DC had paperback compendiums. I have the Spawn compendiums, but it's the DC omnibuses and Deluxe Edition hardcovers that I collect currently. I know that I am a Marvel guy, but surprisingly DC and independent publishers cover half of my bookshelf. Good figure. Can't wait for another DC overview! Thanks Omar. You're the best!

[@ReaperXC]

Came here for the misspelling.

[@ReaperXC]

This looks to be DCs smallest compendium.

[@Joenah5]

Missed out on the 2 tpbs so I’m looking forward to grabbing this. From what I know about Kyle it sounds like he should be my favorite Green Lantern so I’m looking forward to diving into his character!

[@projektvyking7521]

Alright, I'll get these so increase our chances of getting some Guy Lantern collections

[@robertday4390]

I love a good compendiuN! But I think DC could have bulked this up with more issues. Still a nice collection but a bit undersized.

[@Krypton_Ken]

I have this ordered, nice to see Kyle Rayner getting a little love... even if they did spell compendiuN wrong. 😄 Hope we get more volumes, Marz had a long run and most hasn't been collected.

[@a.a677]

The spine is not a big deal to me, if anything it's just funny

[@MrTex-qy2mn]

Even though I'm a Hal Jordan guy, I finally got the opportunity to read this. I enjoyed the fast paced stories. Definitely will pick up Volume 2. Daryl Banks, Romeo Tanghal, and Steve Mattsson are a great trio to have for cosmic stories.

[@Sehlat]

We really need a Green Lantern: Kyle Rayner omnibus or a Green Lantern by Ron Marz omnibus. I'd pre-order one today if I saw it announced!

[@BKsBullets]

I can't believe this is like 25 issues for 60 when starman is much bigger for the same price

[@GoldenDogs514]

Issues 48-50 were like watching a train wreck. You wanted to not look, but you did. I just wished that Kyle's introduction didn't have to come at the expense of Hal. Later retcons aside.

[@dylry86]

Hal’s descent into evil was great. I loved him as Parallax! Such a great villain. Kyle is my GL but I haven’t read anything GL since Kyle’s book was taken away from him 20 years ago.

[@GoldenDogs514]

@@dylry86 what descent? He snapped in one issue.

[@dylry86]

@@GoldenDogs514 Good enough for me! I was just thrilled to have him gone.

[@GoldenDogs514]

@@dylry86 whatever happened to Kyle? He showed up during the Geoff Johns era and then I lost track of him. He was an ok character, but Marvel did the idea better with Quasar.

[@UltimatePower01]

I appreciate that this compendium isn’t as thick as the Starman and Milestone ones. With Marvel doing thinner Omnis to pivot from OHCs, thinner compenidums from DC is a welcome compromise.

[@kevinvendt5948]

As I have the TPBs, I am unlikely to pick this up, though 8 probably would have had this been an Omni.

[@TheComicBookReport]

Would’ve loved an Omni but still awesome! This have the fridge? 🤔

[@ComicsGranPa]

Was waiting for that for ages..hope they make a vol 2..obv preferred an omni but i m weak,i ll get this😂

[@arch6921]

Picked this up despite the lack of extra material and lazy "Rising" title just because I love this era of GL and DC. I prefer the lack of glossy cover. Here's hoping for a Volume 2 to continue the run.

[@abrahamhimself]

Is it likely they’ll do a reprint to correct the spelling on the spine?

[@jpasan]

I've already got this in Green Lantern: Kyle Rainer vol. 1 & 2. I would rather those continued. I prefer that size of trades. Less prone to damage

[@lxlwilliamlxl]

Oh, you mean, the "compendiun". 😢

[@gonzacouto1]

Any news about compendium 2?

[@interstellarsynthesis5654]

Can I read this right after the death and return of Superman omnibus? Or should I pause somewhere in the Superman story to read this?

[@Illuminerdy_]

I wasn’t gonna grab this….but nooowwwww 😅

[@animeshadow2]

This a great book !

[@jocool7370]

Well, they cracked the spine before it even getting printed! 😂😂😂😂

[@comicbossone2411]

The 90’s run was outstanding. They should have left him with his Irish roots.

[@samsara107]

The recent DC price policy is insane.

🤣🤣Marvel keep hiring them public school drop outs to do spell checks😂😂 either that or some1 hired ..Lil' Timmy🤦🏿‍♂ and ya'll know Lil' Timmy was on the small 🚌 🤦🏿‍♂

[@solrac4733]

Completely unnecessary to slaughter the track record and image of a great character like Hal Jordan to create the fresher and younger GL version of Kyle Rayner. No idea what the hell they were thinking at DC at the time.

[@dylry86]

Hal has always sucked. You whined and got your way and yet you’re still complaining 20 years later.
