I'm not new comic books per se, but new to serialized, superhero-syle publications.    If that makes any sense.    Recently I started reading a few more and found that I enjoyed Green Lantern a lot.   I need some help in identifying collections/publications that can fill me in on major plot developments.   From what I've gathered so far, the highlights include:

1. Coast City gets destroyed and Hal Jordan tries to recreate it.  
   
2. The rest of the Green Lanterns try to stop him and he kills them/merges with Parallax.
3. Hal also merges with the Spectre, so now he's three people.
4. He dies. 
   
5. He comes back/is separated from the other two entities.
6. He rebuilds the Corps. 
   
7. Sinestro Corps Wars
   
8. More modern stuff happens, Blackest Night Arc, Brightest Day Arc

1. ?
2. ?
3. Zero Hour
4. ?
5. Rebirth
6. No Fear/Revenge of the Green Lanterns
7. Sinestro Corps War
8. Blackest Night, Brightest Day

Assuming this is all correct, I want to try an catch up on the collections that tell this story.    Where do I find each story line?   So far I know:

1. ?
2. ?
3. Zero Hour
4. ?
5. Rebirth
6. No Fear/Revenge of the Green Lanterns
7. Sinestro Corps War
8. Blackest Night, Brightest Day

Can someone fill in the holes?    Am I missing something or have something wrong here?Thanks.

Hal died before he was bonded to the Spectre.

Also Kyle restarted the corps, not Hal.
