For the first time, this series truly lives up to the "and the Green Lantern Corps" part of its name. Previous issues have focused mainly on Hal with John, Guy, and the rest of the corps making brief appearances here and there. But now, on the brink of all-out assault against Sinestro, this finally feels like the team book it should be. Read Full Review

Hal Jordan & The Green Lantern Corps continues to be a a great return to classic Green Lantern, even though the most interesting character so far is Sinestro but he was a former Green Lantern so that's okay. Other than minor complaints this issue was a good as the previous four. Read Full Review

Thankfully, Soranik's role in this conflict makes this installment of GLC vs SC feel different and position of the Sinestro Corps as the Universe's law enforcers makes this situation new for the Rebirth era of Green Lantern. Additionally, this issue is very new reader friendly, the status quo may be surprising, but it is all very understandable and exciting. Read Full Review

Earth’s Green Lanterns may be divided for the moment, but that is quickly coming to an end. Robert Venditti and artist Ethan Van Sciver deliver another tremendous issue in what has proven to be a thoroughly entertaining first story arc in this much-anticipated series. With only one issue to go in the Sinestro’s Law story arc, you are sure to want to pick this issue up sooner rather than later so a not to miss out on what will be a spectacular conclusion.

Ethan Van Scivers artwork needs to be pointed out as well. He has a very distinct line that is best displayed within the variety of the Green Lanterns power. His panel work also does a great deal to keep the story moving at a steady pace. An issue like this that is mostly buildup could easily feel bogged down or stale. He gives it a lot of life.

The final tumblers are in place to make this story a lock...hopefully. It took a little longer to get to this point than I'd have liked, but now that we're about to see a crazy conflict I'm getting pretty excited. Hal Jordan really acts over the top on his narcissism this issue, and I love to see him cast as a one-dimensional blowhard. If that bothers you, however, be forewarned. This book has heated up and is worth your time and hard-earned money! Or even your stolen money, I don't judge how you get it! Read Full Review

Hell yeah; it's big and epic in so many ways, but also feels important. If you're interested in Green Lantern you can't miss what Sciver and Venditti are cooking up. Read Full Review

Despite some odd artistic choices, this is still a good book. Well, at least I know it'll still be good as long as I know it's still going somewhere. Read Full Review

Overall, HAL JORDAN AND THE GREEN LANTERN CORPS #5 brings a lot of anticipation for the impending confrontation between the Green Lantern Corps and the Sinestro Corps. The Green Lantern Corps wants Gardner back and they want to stop Sinestro. Hal Jordan also wants to stop Sinestro and his abductions of innocent people (and aliens). The war is coming, and it can't come any sooner! Read Full Review

Colourfully drawn as ever by Ethan van Sciver, Hal Jordan & the Green Lantern Corps continues the better form from last week, balancing good character moments alongside the epic space opera plotting and a real sense of building toward the climax. It's still been far from the strongest Rebirth run, but it could well end on a high. Read Full Review

With Hal fully healed and raring to get back into action, the next issue should finally see a confrontation between former mentor and student as well as a possible reunion between Hal and other Lanterns who are headed after the Sinestro Corps. Worth a look. Read Full Review

Another great issue by Venditti with beautiful artwork by Van Sciver! Some real "money shots" worth the price of admission. Love the interaction between Hal/Soranik and Sinestro/Lyssa. Guy Gardner stands strong! Another must read for all lantern fans!

Gathering the troops to fight Sinestro

Venditti has been writing Hal Jordan like a complete different person. He has been capture perfectly the essence of the Sinestro Corp, as well as Guy Gardner. This is the better of the Green Lantern comics for me and I would recommend to anyone the wants something detached from everything in DC.

This arc is getting too long but I'm still eager to know how it will end. Also, the new twist about Hal is very interesting and I'm curious about what Robert Venditti's planning.

Nice dialogue and I like the way the plot is progressing.
