It being 2013, it is hard to belief Geoff Johns has now been writing Green Lantern for close to 9 years, which is something unheard into days times of where one writer gets lucky to write a 6-issue arc for a character. The funny thing is, Johns keeps furthering the vast GL lore and manages to keep readers addicted to it every step of the way. So while Green Lantern Vol. 1: Sinestro (The New 52) (Green Lantern (Graphic Novels)) was a rough jumping on point for new readers, loyal readers probably felt like they have read it before and it was a big tease of things to come. On the other hand, volume 2, THE REVENGE OF BLACK HAND we see Johns as he dips right back into his ever-growing GL legacy grow for loyal readers, and into the next big future event for Hal Jordan and Sinestro.
GREEN LANTERN VOL.2: THE REVENGE OF BLACK HAND collects issues #7-12 and the GREEN LANTERN ANNUAL #1. Issues 7-10 consist of the 4-issue story arc "The Secret of the Indigo Tribe", while issues 11-12 and the GL Annual #1 make up the 3-issue story arc, "The Revenge of Black Hand".
REVENGE picks up with Sinestro forcing Hal back into his service so that they may try to divert a future vision Sinestro had of the Guardians destroying the entire Emotional Spectrum, including the Green Lantern Corp. But before it can happen, the Indigo tribe shows up and captures Sinestro in an attempt to force him as a member of the Indigo tribe. But Hal won't stand for this, and in his attempts to free Sinestro of Indigo tribe, finds the true meaning, history, and ramifications the Indigo tribe have on the entire future of the Green Lanterns and impending war to come with the Guardians.
A year ago, I would have told you that Green Lantern was one of my least favorite superheroes. Green ring? Constructs? Meh. My how things have changed, and I have Geoff Johns to thank for that. I say with only slight hesitation that Green Lantern just might be my most favorite superhero, beating out my beloved Batman. Again, I have Geoff Johns to thank for that. Minor spoilers follow.
You know Hal just cannot not be a Green Lantern, even if it is a knock off made by Sinestro himself. As Sinestro starts to inform Hal on a glimpse of the prophesies he saw in the Book of the Black, both are captured by the Indigo tribe. Their capture eventually leads to many revelations and twists, such as the Indigo Tribe's origin, their true purpose, whether or not Sinestro can find redemption, and just how immorally inept, pompous and twisted the Guardians have become (was it possible for them to be worse?). The character focus provides great insight into both Hal and Sinestro, seeing their strained friendship, if you could call it that, find a more respectable level where they move beyond helping one another out of pure necessity to the point where Hal is coming to terms with whether or not there is any good left in Sinestro or the Guardians. Geoff Johns has proven to me that he knows where he is taking Green Lantern's story, and that he knew it would lead to this point since the earlier stages of his involvement. The brief look we get at The Third Army compels me to think that they are far more dangerous than the rising dead during The Blackest Night arc, as if that were even possible. We see another glimpse of prophecies from The Book of the Black, catapulting a new crossover story arc throughout the Green Lantern universe, which I am eagerly anticipating.
