Green Lantern, Volume 7: Rage of the Red Lanterns
Geoff Johns
Superstar writer Geoff Johns (Green Lantern, The Flash, Action Comics, JSA) unleashes a spectrum of adventure in this tale, which sees an all-new, all-evil Red Lantern Corps let loose on the galaxy! As a prelude to the highly anticipated 2009 Green Lantern storyline Blackest Night, this collection sets up the events that Geoff Johns has been leading to since he relaunched the Green Lantern franchise in 2006! Plagued by an age-old prophecy from a prison planet on the far side of the galaxy, Green Lantern Hal Jordan searches for answers about the fate of his Green Lantern Corps. But when a primal being named Atrocitus emerges from that hell planet, he leads a Red Lantern Corps against Jordan and his brethren in a campaign to spread rage across the cosmos. Collecting: Green Lantern 26-28, 36-38
Publication Year: 2009

Rage of the Red Lanterns continues the inevitable progression towards the fulfillment of the Blackest Night prophecy that the Guardians of Oa are desperately trying to prevent. In this volume, Atrocitus breaks free from his prison and creates the Red Lanterns to challenge both Sinestro and the Green Lantern Corps. This is the first volume where we really get to see the lines that will be drawn in the war amongst all the Lantern colors that is supposed to bring the Blackest Night and it was absolutely fascinating to see how the different rings functioned and interacted with one another. The artwork continues to be top notch and the story got a little crazy towards the end but I loved every second of it. The Guardians also continue to be complete jerks and I almost find myself actively rooting against them. Another addition to an already fantastic series and I can't wait to see where it leads!
