Geoff Johns' run of Green Lantern is legendary! I also like Grant Morrison's run of Green Lantern!
finally,I was waiting for this
Awesome list with some cool stories I need to check out. Love the GL Corps and Hal's fall and rise again.
I think outside of the bad feelings of seeing a beloved hero go evil and that drama, Emerald Twilight is an absolutely insane story. Just everything that happens (and how viscerally it's all illustrated) is a super interesting story on its own.
Also, I'm solidly in the camp that Sinestro Corps War > Rebirth, but I love them both lol
I feel the same way about Twilight. If only it was an Elseworlds out-of-continuity story… As for the Rebirth/Sinestro Corps War dilemma, a solid argument can be done for the latter, but I see it as the two first Godfather movies - the second one is actually better, but the first is iconic.
The early stories, like the O’Neil/Adams run can feel a bit dated or preachy today, but they remain groundbreaking.
Yess-great list! Perfect for Green Lantern fans! thank youu🤩
My favorite Green Lantern is Hal Jordan and my 2nd favorite Green Lantern is John Stewart.
What the music? It's so good bro
Been waiting for this!!!
Thank you!🤩
Hope you like it 😉
Dang was Steve Englehart's run in either of your best DC runs videos? Seems like a bunch of his stories are here.
Funny you should ask. As for his Green Lantern, if I was to rank these 100 comics, his would be down there in the 90s… but just yesterday I was regretting not including his Doctor Strange in the Marvel video… now that was a mistake…
@@comicbelief Ah, I see, makes sense then! Have you basically read every comic at this point? Lol, or have you been really good about picking and choosing the best stuff to read over the years? It's just crazy for me to fathom you've read every comic you've put in your lists.
@@suicidalkangarooz I’m very selective with the older comics and the just released ones. I haven’t read every golden silver age green lantern, but I’ve read those of historical importance. It’s almost like homework, because I don’t read them for the pleasure of great storytelling, but to get a sense of them. The 70s and 80s comics I have read as paperbacks, they were already considered classics, so it was a natural thing. 90s comics I read as a teen, some I have returned to a few times, like Dawn and Twilight, but most I just remember. The Johns era I have read multiple times for the sheer pleasure of it. Then, post-John, my reading becomes selective again. Notice that I didn’t include anything after Morrison. To me, the present state of green lantern kind of sucks and I’m waiting for it to change my mind or for something new to begin. I’ve actually spent a few months on this list, mainly to catch up on the last few years. That’s my weakest spot. For example, just months after having done a video on Image Comics, today I would have made it slightly different. There’s always the possibility that you let something important pass by because you weren’t even aware of it. So the video stays there in limbo for months until I feel confident about it. And I still make mistakes.
@@comicbelief I still totally respect what you're doing. I've been using various lists of yours to help me choose what to read and to learn more about great comics.
@@suicidalkangarooz I hope to do a video of my life with comics at some point. Not sure how to do it without seeming full of myself, but it really is a natural flow. I quit the X-men in the mid-1990s to pick it up again with Morrison. I quit Spider-Man after the whole One More Day debacle, then later I read three or four years of Spidey in a matter of weeks. I remember when I discovered Miller, Moore, Gaiman, graphic novels, European comics… both of these topics have videos coming up by the way… one book I recommend to everyone is Scott McCloud’s Understanding Comics… that completely blew my mind and made me approach the medium as a serious subject, despite the predominance of capes and tights… I love how the times shape the characters and the ones more adaptable manage to stay popular… man, I love comics!
