* ToughActToFollow: For many Green Lantern fans, the story is ''the'' GL story, owing to the epic scale, strong character work, and how much it expanded the mythos. General consensus is that, while Johns run after is ''good'', it and subsequent runs have been forever in the shadow.

Blatant misuse.


* EnsembleDarkhorse: Meta example. This was originally published in the Summer of 2007, meaning it was running parallel to higher-profile DC events like ''Countdown to Final Crisis'' and ''Amazons Attack!''. Yet, ''Sinestor Corp War'' ended up becoming the most sleeper hit of 2007.

* {{Narm}}: Mixed with Awesome: Hal and Kyle have their rings drained by Manhunters on a roof. Kyle asks Hal what should they do. Hal quips, "We improvise." Cut to Hal and Kyle making ComicBook/SpiderMan -esque leaps off rooftops.
* TakeThatScrappy: Jack T. Chance is killed off during the story, much to the displeasure of few readers.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The commentary in the second collection reveals that Parallax was going to take over Guy and John in addition to Kyle. This was rejected because it distracted from the rest of the story and would've led to VillainDecay by making him less unique.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: When Superboy-Prime rips off Risk's arm in ''Infinite Crisis'', it's sad and horrifying. Risk returns in revenge here and Prime rips the other arm off in response. It's kind of funny.

* MagnificentBastard: Sinestro orchestrated the entire conflict to get the Green Lanterns to use lethal force ''and succeeded''.
** Many people complained about the logic of Sinestro picking Parallax, Cyborg Superman, Superboy Prime, and Antimonitor as allies, but it makes a certain sense -- each is individually powerful enough to be a threat, both to the enemy and to Sinestro, but they're bigger threats to each other than to him -- Sinestro can effortlessly dominate Parallax, Superboy Prime and Antimonitor would eventually come to blows, and the Cyborg Superman works alongside the Manhunters, whom Sinestro's clearly compromised at some point.
