Book of Interest: Green Lanterns vol #1 (Rebirth)

I'm really behind with the Green Lanterns, I did even finish reading the New 52 series but that's not going to stop me from wanting to read the new Rebirth series. I believe these Lanterns, Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz were introduced during the New 52 and they must have been popular with the fans for DC Comics to give them their own series.

Since I know nothing about these characters, I'm hoping that this first volume and series is written in way for new (and old) readers to understand.


Book: Green Lanterns volume #1: Rage Planet (Green Lanterns: Rebirth #1 and issues #1-6) by Sam Humphries with illustrations by Robson Rocha

Description:

Two new members of the galaxy's greatest peacekeeping force are here in GREEN LANTERNS VOL. 1: RAGE PLANET, as a part of the critically acclaimed, best-selling, all-new line of volume one graphic novels, DC Universe Rebirth!

One is all impulse. The other, all anxiety. Together, they put the “green” in Green Lantern.

Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz are the latest recruits to the Green Lantern Corps. They’ve proven themselves capable of overcoming great fear alongside the Corps and the Justice League alike. Now Hal Jordan himself has assigned them the task of protecting the planet. But they’re still new to the job, with very little experience and a whole lot to prove.

That makes them the perfect targets.

One of the Green Lanterns’ greatest enemies has returned, and he has the Earth in his sights. He is Atrocitus, the tyrannical leader of the Red Lanterns, and he means to infect the entire planet with his murderous red rage.

Can Jessica and Simon overcome their differences and wield the Green Lantern’s light like true partners? Or will these rookies’ rage help the Red Lanterns extinguish that light for good?
