Thank you! I've been looking for a good list to help me out. I started in volume 4 when I first got into green lantern, but this will help me back track.

You didnt mention Tales of the green lantern corp vol 1 to 3 which would go after GL/GA

New to the thread and starting out with VOL #4 not started out as a GL fan but started getting back into reading and GL really interested me, is this the most updated list and where does Green Lantern Corps: Revolt of the Alpha Lanterns go? My question is has anything changed since this was last updated in Feb?

I updated the list. To be honest I forgot about it . I added Brightest Day storyline.

Don't forget the Green Lantern and Plastic Man one shot

Don't Forget to add Green Lantern: Ganthet's Tale. It belongs between the Road Back and Return of Superman

I added Volume 5 and changed the Showcase Presents series to The Green Lantern Chronicles for Volume 1 collected editions.

Hi, im interested in reading the Final Crisis while im reading GL stuff where abouts does that series happen in relation to volume 4? I want to read that in the proper order.

I'm finally interested in starting this collection, but just wanted to know, in Volume 2, Showcase 22 is listed as the first comic, so is this the first comic Hal Jordan appears as Green Lantern?

It doesn't really tie in, but during Rage of the Red Lanterns.

Awesome thanks

Having properly inspected this now, I have another question regarding it.

Volume 4 lists GLC: Recharge as bein GLC issues 1-5 and To Be A Green Lantern is GLC issues 1-6. Are these different GLC comics?
