Green Lantern: Rebirth marks the return of the silver age Green Lantern, Hal Jordan. Dealing with the topics of trust, betrayal, and what it really means to be a man without fear, Rebirth offers readers a starting point to enter the Green Lantern universe. This book will be far more attractive to teens, and should be marketed to them. It does contain some blood and some profanity, but nothing that is in too much excess. This is where Geoff Johns started his run on the series, and is where readers should go eventually if they want to get caught up to the current series, but as a starting point I would recommend starting with Green Lantern: Secret Origin, which is where we are given Hal Jordan's origin story. Definitely great for fans of science fiction, Star Wars, and comic books. ( )

Stellar art matched with an intelligent, intricate new explanation for all of the wicked stuff that's been happening to Hal Jordan and the rest of the Green Lantern Corps in the past few years ... and, ultimately, in all of DC history. Great fun, well-executed prelude to a new vision of the GLs. ( )

I really didn't think that the restart of Green Lantern would be any good. I was wrong. The artwork is also really, really, good, so that doesn't hurt.

Hal Jordan, after his many bouts of ultrapowerful entityness is back, and gets to go around and interact or biff various hero types, and villains, and even have a Green Lantern Corps again. This is probably the coolest part.
