Book Review: Green Lantern Vol. 1: Sinestro (The New 52)

Green Lantern, Vol. 1: Sinestro (The New 52)Green Lantern, Vol. 1: Sinestro by Geoff Johns
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a fantastic, deeper look into the ever-mysterious Green Lantern villain, Sinestro, about whom fans like me have been clamoring for information, refusing to believe that he is simply "evil". It is extremely rare for a comic book villain to show any degree of sorrow or remorse for past actions, yet Sinestro does, and even solicits Hal Jordan's help to destroy his own Sinestro Corps. Of course, he does this in a very Sinestro-style way, keeping Jordan on a leash of sorts, to ensure that he has full control. As is usual with a Geoff Johns story, the characters are all fully rounded and realized, and not merely cardboard cutouts as is sometimes found in comic books. For these reasons and others, I give this collection five stars!
