Product Description
Green Lantern travels to the mysterious, isolated Vega sector, but encounters a being long kept secret by the Guardians, the Lanterns' leaders - a creature called 'Agent Orange', who wields the one and only orange ring - which is powered not by will, but by greed. Hal will discover exactly what the greed-powered creature wants... more power rings.

This is a really good and intense prelude to Blackest Night. There is a real sense of urgency and drama about what is happening. It has made me look forward to Blackest Night. The Orange Lanterns are a great addition to the Spectrum as well. One of the scariest bad guys around.

I feel that a 5 star review can only be written for great works of art like Green Lantern: Rebirth or Sinestro Corps War etc; I only gave Green Lantern: Secret Origins 4 stars and that is but far the better book to read than Agent Orange. That said, whilst this is not bad its clearly not in the same league as those three.
By no means is this an essential volume of the green lanterns mythos but it's certainly worth reading as a prelude to Blackest Night, but it's far too short considering we are being introduced to one of the new corps. Other than the Larfleeze back story there were no great revelations and it all felt a bit rushed. I think the trouble is that Johns has now set the bar so high that continually matching that is proving to be difficult.
I can't fault the artwork, again it was mesmerising.

Green Lantern is about an organisation of space cops who use alien technology in the form of rings which allows the user to make physical constructs out of Green energy based on their will. In the last few years there has been a huge ongoing storyline showing that there are seven types of energies based on different facets of human character. The green energy is based on willpower. Yellow is based on Fear. This collection deals with Orange, based on avarice.
To understand the short collection of stories in this book you first need to read Green Lantern Rebirth, then SInestro Wars. It also probably helps to read Rage of the Red Lanterns and Sins of the Star Sapphire. Basically, all seven energy types are now being used, leading to a growing galactic confrontation. This is all building up to the Blackest Night story. Agent Orange deals with the Green Lanterns discovering who is using the Orange energy, and that it is linked to yet another secret from the dark past of the Guardians, who as ever come across as self involved, arrogant beings. Its a decent story, but it is very much an intermediate one, so won't be of any value unless you are collecting the entirety of this giant story arc.
