The Greatest Green Lantern Run of All Time | An NWN Discussion

The Greatest Green Lantern Run of All Time | An NWN Discussion

Author: New Wave Nerds Network July 3, 2025 Duration: 59:37

This week, Brennan's breaking up the routine by talking about how Geoff Johns' run on Green Lantern is the best there ever was.

Geoff Johns wrote Green Lantern from 2004 to 2013. He brought Hal Jordan back from the dead and made Green Lantern one of DC's best-selling comic books, rescuing the character from obscurity. His run started with Green Lantern: Rebirth and ended with The Wrath of the First Lantern in the New 52.


Geoff Johns' entire run is currently available in collected formats in comic shops around the world and is also available for free with a DC Universe Infinite subscription.


Every week on New Wave Nerds, two friends dive deep into the sprawling worlds of comics, blockbuster films, and the latest video games. This isn't a formal debate or a dry recap; it's the kind of enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and often hilarious conversation you'd have with your most opinionated pals. We break down the newest releases, dissect industry news, and revisit classic moments from nerd culture, all with a blend of genuine passion and a critical eye. You'll hear our unfiltered opinions on everything from superhero movie trailers and indie game gems to the enduring legacy of cult TV shows. The goal is simple: to share our deep-dive knowledge and love for this stuff in a way that feels like hanging out. Whether you're a lifelong collector or just casually curious about the latest pop culture phenomenon, this podcast offers a welcoming, insightful, and entertaining space to geek out. Tune in for regular episodes that are as much about the joy of fandom as they are about the specifics. From the New Wave Nerds Network.
