The question comes up a lot so I've been asked to make a sticky. So, if you want to know what to read before Blackest Night, direct thy glazzies downward hence:
  • If you have a wealthy budget, pick up GL Rebirth, all of Johns' run on GL, all of GLC (including Recharge), and Sin Corps War. Basically everything Green Lantern since Rebirth.
  • If your budget is a little more conservative, just pick up Rebirth and everything Johns has done on Green Lantern (and Sin Corps War.)
  • If your budget is pretty tight, pick up Rebirth and Sin Corps War.
Keyser Soze has kindly provided a comprehensive list of the trade paperbacks that those post-Rebirth comics are available in as of 2/12/09:
GREEN LANTERN
Rebirth
No Fear
Revenge of the Green Lanterns
Wanted: Hal Jordan
Sinestro Corps War Volume 1
Sinestro Corps War Volume 2
Secret Origins
Rage of the Red Lanterns (coming soon)
