In 2004, writer Geoff Johns and artist Ethan Van Sciver — the team behind the current blockbuster THE FLASH: REBIRTH — restored Hal Jordan to his place as the greatest Green Lantern of all with the best-selling miniseries GREEN LANTERN: REBIRTH! Now, DC Comics is pleased to present this perennial favorite in the slipcased, Absolute format.

Follow Hal Jordan on his journey from fearless test pilot to Super Hero, from villain to the spirit of vengeance, and finally, returning to his true calling as Green Lantern of Space Sector 2814. This amazing Absolute edition includes GREEN LANTERN: REBIRTH #1-6, GREEN LANTERN #1, the preview story from Wizard Magazine and a tale from GREEN LANTERN SECRET FILES 2005 featuring spectacular artwork by Darwyn Cooke.

Definitely a MUST HAVE for all Green Lantern fans and a fine addition to the library of those hardcover graphic novel collectors!

HAPPY READING!

So after an exciting weekend at c2e2 and a little recuperation, it was great to get back to the low-key atmosphere of my local comic shop, Keith’s Komix. We talked about c2e2, our likes and dislikes, but we all agreed that it was, overall, a really great Con. We also hope to attend again next year and Serena hopes to have a table there as well. This week’s pick up is full of great reading for the weekend!

Hitting the top of the list as a ‘MUST-READ’ once it’s paid for and rightfully yours, we have GREEN LANTERN # 52. Aspen Comics is making Serena happy as SOULFIRE # 3 hit the shelves today. And I get suckered by Mark Millar and picked up NEMESIS # 1, in which the cover says in bold white letters “MAKES KICK-ASS LOOK LIKE $#!T”. To my surprise Serena also picked up THE GUILD # 1. She’s only seen a few episodes of the web series. Now I’ve got a reason to buy the seasons on DVD. Hung out at Keith’s Komix for a bit before checking out just to catch up with the regulars. Discussions included: Theories on who is the Red Hulk, The Awesomeness of The X-files, Millennium, and Supernatural.

BLACKEST NIGHT’S penultimate chapter is here, and you do not want to miss this issue. Trust us on this one.

Pretty short description isn’t it? The cover pretty much says it all. BLACKEST NIGHT is coming to a close and it looks like this story will keep peaking until its end. Let’s just hope that BRIGHTEST DAY can do the same and deliver an amazing story worth investing in.

SERENA’S PICK OF THE WEEK: THE GUILD # 1

Writer: Felicia Day
Artist: Jim Rugg
Cover Artist: Dan Jackson, Georges Jeanty

Internet phenomenon The Guild comes to comics, courtesy of series creator, writer, and star Felicia Day (Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog)!

Chronicling the hilarious on-and offline lives of a group of Internet role-playing gamers, the Knights of Good, The Guild has become a cult hit and is the winner of numerous awards from SXSW, YouTube, Yahoo, and the Streamys. Now Day brings the wit and heart of the show to this three-issue miniseries. In this origin tale of the Knights of Good, we learn about Cyd’s life before joining the guild, how she became Codex, and how she began to meet the other players who would eventually become her teammates.
