    ..Look, I like the Green Lantern characters a lot, but only want to buy one comic a month, so I get the main title with Hal. Trouble is, we had uprising finish in July and now we have "new gods" coming in October which basically means buying every GL title to catch up.

    Well as much as it pains me to do so, I am cancelling my GL comic now. I will just buy the trades I think for the stories I like in future. Anyone else feel the same as me?

    Well I personally collect all the GL-related stories out now but yes I am getting a little bit frustrated with the crossovers. I feel like every single story these days is a crossover and it has been with GL and GLC at least. I don't have the problem you do since I collect all but it starts to get a little too worn out and tiring at times.

    I keep wanting to catch up with Vendetti's run to see what it's like, but the crossovers have made it expensive. Is this the writer's choice or editorial anyone?

    I dropped all GL stuff cause of money, but I'll be picking them all up for the New Gods thing. They do crossover a lot though.

    It is getting really annoying some of them don't even need to crossover. Green Lantern is my fav comic series and it does get to me when there is massive holes in the plot. I am thinking of picking the rest of the GL tie in series in trade just so I have a full story.

    I wouldn't mind if the cross-overs were really good...which they're not. They're alright, but not really worth the price. It doesn't feel like I'm reading a GL book anymore, it feels like I'm reading the Expanded Universe from Star Ward with all of these planets and alien races.

    I myself read all Lantern-related books anyway, so I don't mind. But I can certainly understand the issue if you weren't interested in a certain book, in having to pick it up in addition to your regular pulls. Then of course you multiply that by four other books if you're only getting one GL title, times several months of the year. I understand how it can be frustrating. The Wrath of the First Lantern issues in some of the series were complete crap. However, I believe Godhead is integral to what Venditti and company are doing.

    Would also like a straight story line but god-head seems epic and important, with the life equation and the reservoir, and the new gods saying they are not using the rings to the utmost level and using it in a weak way, it might unlock something new for the corp, all the corps.
