A pretty good tale of the Green Lantern Corps and may provide some needed background to the upcoming live-action movie starring Ryan Reynolds. It puts the Hal Jordan character out of the spotlight and makes the corp the main premise; its history, the stories, the encounters and the meaning of becoming a Green Lantern.
