I am writing the review for these three volumes because they seem really intended to be read together. If you don't, you will not get most of the story and the pacing will be terrible (be adviced that each collection includes GL 20, just in case).
Now to the review proper:
This final storyarch of the Geoff Johns era is absolutely amazing! Easily on the level of Sinestro Corps War and Blackest Night, and even better than this last one. You have all the epic quality that you expect from Johns, great battle scenes and multiple color corps fighting together, but you also get a very well paced progression and really interesting character development (something that was a little missing in War of the Green Lanterns, for example).
I was initially hesitant about the introduction of another earth Green Lanterrn, and I definetively don't like the outfit, but I really like how Simon Baz was introduced and how the comic explicitly comments on 11-9 aftermath. The story, for me, was a little lost between all the other things that were going on, but I really like the direction that the character is taking.
What I like the most about this series is how it tides everything up. When I finished reading Blackest Night and War of the Green Lanterns, there was always some pretty evident hint that there were more things going on, that the arch was in some ways incomplete. Of course, that is something you need in comicbooks to get you interested in the next story, but finishing on a low note, like the War of the Green lanterns did, was definetivelly anti-clicmatic. This third volume(s) definetively give you a cinematic, emotional and in many ways happy ending (even a little cheesy, so be advised).
This story is the perfect way to close Geoff Johns run on the title.
