Green Lantern: Sinestro Corps War Volume 1
Writer: Geoff Johns, Dave Gibbons
Artist: Ethan Van Sciver
I know next to nothing about DC. I know vaguely each of the major players, but beyond the Superman and Batman movies, I’m ignorant. I was told by several people to read the Sinestro Corps storyline in Green Lantern. There were a lot subtleties that I probably didn’t pick up on, but I have to say that I enjoyed the book more than I thought I would. It was clearly built on a solid history, and there were points that I had no idea what the characters were talking about, but the current story was strong enough to hold my interest, and got me wanting to read more about Green Lantern.
The bad guy Sinestro has found a Yellow Power Ring and is amassing an army of followers, giving them all rings. This army stands in opposition to the Green Lantern Corps, and they are called, ironically enough, the Sinestro Corps. Their goal is to spread fear throughout the universe, to bring all worlds under Sinestro’s rule, and impose order on a chaotic universe. They kill a lot of Green Lanterns, the Lanterns fight back. That’s basically the story.
