Green Lantern Trades

[Web Head]

With the Blackest Night event going on over at DC I'm starting to get into Green Lantern. I'd like to catch up on the current Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps story lines by picking them up in trade, but when I stopped by my local book store I had a problem.

The GL and GLC trades don't have a volume number on their spines, and there is no issue listing on the back page. I was hoping a poster that has the trades could tell me which order I should be getting these in. I know Green Lantern Rebirth is the first, but from there I'm lost.

The individual issue information IS listed in the trades. Check the first couple of pages for the fine print copyright information and it should say which issues of which series the trade collects.

From what I could scrounge up on-line, the order appears to be this:

Rebirth
Recharge
No Fear
To Be A Lantern
Revenge of the Green Lanterns
Wanted: Hal Jordan
A Darker Shade of Green
The Sinestro Corps War Vol.1
The Sinestro Corps War Vol.2
Tales of the Sinestro Corps
Ring Quest
Secret Origin
Sins of the Star Sapphire
Rage of the Red Lanterns
Agent Orange

KEY:
Green Lantern
Green Lantern Corps
Green Lantern/Green Lantern Corps combined

I had to cull this from multiple sources, so I'm not sure this is the exact order or if anything is missing.

And Emerald Eclipse, which is a GLC story, which can be put in between Rage of the Red Lanterns and Agent Orange.

After all those comes Blackest Night, the breakdown here: http://collectededitions.blogspot.com/2009/11/full-blackest-night-collection-contents.html

As for the Tales of the Sinestro Corps volume, the four stories in there take place between the main story, and the best breakdown for reading I could find is here: http://forum.newsarama.com/showpost.php?p=4871375&postcount=6

I still haven't gotten up to the SCW volumes though, so I can't vouch for that reading order list, but this is what seemed the best.

Everything else is in order, though. Happy reading!
