Green Lanterns reading list

I decided to make a masterpost about all my children: Hal Jordan, Guy Gardner, John Stewart, Kyle Rayner, Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz. The following reading list only includes the stuff I’ve read, which is good to get to know Green Lantern mythos, these characters, villains and the other corps to a high level. But I also included links to some reading lists made by other people (which are very good and very complete) for each character, in case anyone wants to go deeper.

Everything under the cut, since it is a very (very) long list. Enjoy!!

*Both are importants because both tells the origins of Simon and Jessica, but you can read Green Lanterns Rebirth without reading these two volumes.

Where to read it? Well, always you can support the industry and my chlids and buy the comics, but there are several webs where you can read it online or download it, like: 1, 2, 3. I’m sure there are more webs, but these are just a few and the ones I use the most.
