I understand that it makes sense to discard such a rich body of work but still, a summary of sorts would help new readers picking up this series for the first time. Why is Hal Jordan no longer a Green Lantern? Sinestro was a Green Lantern, then he wasnt, and now he is - the explanation being? Carol Ferris has a power ring of her own and is a superhero herself - but shes not a supe in this book? It's misleading to call this Volume 1 in a series reboot when it is in fact a continuation of the enormous Green Lantern saga that DC have been doing for the last few years. Ive read a number of Justice League books and have seen the GL movie so Im familiar with the character but there were still many questions raised when reading through this book. For those readers who havent read that many Green Lantern books - if any - and thought the New 52 reboot would be a good place to acquaint yourself with the character and his world, prepare to be disappointed: this isnt a reboot despite the label.
