2005-2011 gave us some of the best Lantern stories in DC's history. Geoff Johns managed to turn the Green Lantern lore into something so expansive and good that it could have its own universe. Some of the best written stories were done during those years.
I have not read much (if any) from the "golden", "silver" or "bronze" ages but I do know they have been writing a lot of terrible stories recently and with terrible art on top of it. The times of Geoff Johns writing combined with EVS's art are long gone. I did, however, enjoy Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps story, it was surprisingly good.
