Ending my omnibus saga for now, and this book does it incredibly well. This is a solid 4/5 star read for me. I really did enjoy the whole first half of this run. I think the New Gods saga was pretty solid. After that, everything was.... mid. Yes, I know that the whole Hal Renegade saga was supposed to set up Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps (Which I already read by the way), but every storyline was generic, nothing out of the ordinary that blew my mind. Still, I did enjoy it because it's Green Lantern, what could go wrong with a Green Lantern issue? Overall, this was a good run, not great. Is it crucial for the diehard Green Lantern fans out there? I would say so yes, because of the storylines that are crucial for the Green Lantern Mythos. For now, I'm going back to reading fantasy novels, starting with "Sword of Kaigen" by M.L Wang, which is exciting and because reading 6 omnibuses in a row can get pretty exhausting.
I would pass on this omnibus, it is not garbage but it is not great at all either it is just okay. I wouldn't keep this sitting in a shelf unless you are a collector, there are lots of better green lantern and other omnibuses out there in general that are way better to sit and waste shelf space. Read this digitally, don't bother with physical copy.
