Hiya!

[Guest Close Qui'Gon]

Hello all!

I am relatively new to comics and Green Lantern in general. I have done a bit of research but there seems to be a massive amount of lore and back story.

So I am asking you guys for a bit of help!

I know there are some essential readings for Green Lantern but I would like to start new on a fresh story line if any are available.

Also I couldn't find this online, but I am incredibly curious about the other Lantern Corps and what their function is.

Sorry if this is too much to ask for on my first day!

Nice to meet you all!

One of us! One of us! Gooble gobble, gooble gobble!




(1) Check out the threads on trade paperbacks for backstory. There's more than most can handle.
(2) You can start with War of the Green Lanterns, which is the story line for the last two months in Green Lantern, Green Lantern Corps, and Green Lantern: Emerald Warriors.
(3) All the GLs have the same basic function. The universe is divided into 3600 sectors (like slices of an orange). Each has up to 2 lanterns, then there are additional ones with higher-level functions on Oa (HQ). The Guardians of the Universe created and maintain the GL corps. They are essentially ... [cough] ... space cops.
