Green Lantern

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009 – running time 25:19

With "Blackest Night" now upon us, iFanboy tells you what to read, and what you need to know, to catch up with Green Lantern.

For the last few years, Green Lantern might just be the steadiest and most consistent buzzworthy book at DC Comics. Everyone is talking about Hal Jordan and his merry band of emerald ring slinging space cops and their multi-colored enemies! It seems no one wants to be left off the bandwagon and as a result, the most common question that iFanboy receives is "How can I catch up on Green Lantern? Where do I start? What do I need to know?"

iFanboy is on the case!
