In celebration of the Rebirth stuff from DC being really good, let's look back to another time Geoff Johns saved DC from itself...let's look back at Green Lantern Rebirth

Yep, pandering to manchildren who gotta collect all those action figures all right.
John Johnson
He sure did fuck everything up after Sinestro War
Alexander Powell
If you don't like Lantern why are you here? You are the man child.

Blackedt Night is when Johns went to shit. From there he made the subplots rule over the pacing so that nothing ever had a satisfying conclusion like Blitz or his JSA stories. Everything was just bleed into the next event, so the whole of Blackest Night is to just bring back those 7 characters for whatever purpose, which was ultimately mute by Flashpoint anyways
Lincoln Myers
OP come back
Ayden Ward
Isnt Kyle was the only green lantern at that time?
Carter Lopez
So can someone explain what happens with Guy before Rebirth?
I read through John's Green Lantern recently, but didn't know anything that happens with anyone prior to Rebirth, so the part where Guy explodes in Rebirth really confused me
Luke Nelson
He found out he was half Vuldarian, so his powers for several years involved shape shifting weapons out of his body instead of using a ring
Ayden Miller
Oh okay that makes sense. Thanks.

I remember rereading Rebirth a few years back and being struck with how much more nuanced and plain BETTER it was than Johns' later Lantern stuff. This and his early GL run was mostly all action, but it had such a better grasp of Lantern power mechanics and took time to show off what they could do and actually had Hal be satisfyingly awesome. Even by Sinestro Corps War you could see that the amount of thought put into it was waning, and by Blackest Night it was completely gone.
Compare GL from 2006-7 and all the cool shit Hal pulls there with the post-Flashpoint GL where Hal being a retard who doesn't even know how to use his ring properly is an actual goddamn plot point. They're like night and day.
I still have no idea why people actually like Johns' post SCW GL.
Robert Anderson
Yeah, johns has changed so much.
I was reading his Teen Titans run, and the first trade is pretty damn fun.
Compared to Johns now, I find modern Jurgens more consistent. ( I actually like Jurgens as a comfy, easy read fwiw).
That being said, I've never read the GL issues between rebirth and SCW.
Are they good enough to buy the first omni for them?
Levi Green
Surely you jest. Rebirth is the weakest part of his GL run.
Julian Turner
I forgot to add to the Johns comment- Rebirth (one shot) seemed very unevenly written. I don't remember Johns being that heavy handed in the past, but I've been on a british invasion diet for the past few years so maybe he was akways like that. Can't remember. His TT seemed a little less... obvious... though.

Finish this mini and I'll do these when I'm done doing Bone. or don't and I'll do Rebirth and these when I'm done with Bone. I've only read Rebirth and want to read with Sup Forums
Bentley Thompson
Since op left sure let me finish with booster first.
Logan Carter
Rebirth is what got me to start reading the lantern books.
Jason Wood
Wonder what the DCU would be like if Johns never "Rebirthed" anything, no Green Lantern, no Flash, nothing.
If they had just let everything continue to evolve...

Johns' Batman usually tends towards asshole
although Batman was the biggest asshole about Hal as Parallax to begin with and he kept changing his mind about whether he could be redeemed or not so this is also an extension of that
