Dire Bare
Legend
I'm interested in reading some Green Lantern graphic novels, and would like your advice as to a good place to start. I'm fairly comfortable with the basic mythology of the character, having grown up on the Superfriends, browsing Wikipedia entries, and watching all of the DC Animated shows up to and including the animated film Green Lantern: First Flight.
I'm not really interested in reading how Hal Jordan was "rebirthed" from yellow villiany and spectre-hood into a Green Lantern again . . . . but rather a good intro the the modern character in the comics that will lead me into the Blackest Night series.
It seems that Green Lantern: Secret Origin might be a good spot . . . what do you think?
And picking up the color-coded "preludes" to the Blackest Night seems simple enough . . . yellow, red, violet, orange, then black . . . and I guess eventually white . . .
Are there other volumes I should consider?
Thanks!
