If DC imprints count:
Well, if you want to be detailed then you can follow his full journey here, here, and here.
But if you want to go with trades (which will be a ton easier), then here's a list of trades in chronological order you can check out:
Then from here it can get confusing because multiple Green Lantern titles went into publication, but for this list it's only following Kyle Rayner's journey
> can be read alongside Green Lantern Corps: Blackest Night (2009) (GLC 39-47) by Peter Tomasi
> see here for reading order
Now is the New 52, same as before, there are multiple crossovers throughout the Green Lantern Line, so i will do my best to present Kyle's story the best i can
> contains events from the Light's Out trade which collects issue 24 of each Lantern title as well as issue 23 of New Guardians Light's Out event (2014) by Robert Venditti

The Guardians are resurrected in Green Lantern Vol. 3, #150, collected in the Green Lantern: The Power of Ion trade. Though they are just children until Green Lantern: Rebirth.

edit: check out DCU Guide, which is a great way to research these types of questions
I'm not sure about "seasons", but I can help some:
Green Lanterns are a Corps group devoted to protecting the Galaxy. Much like Police; they have "sectors", that each member (sometimes with a partner) are assigned to protect. Now I'm going to assume he means Hal Jordan;Green Lantern of Sector 2814. The series focusing on him, is just called "(The) Green Lantern".
As for which comics to get, I think you should go with trades of GL. If you don't know, trades are a collection of single issues (usually about 6-8 issues in one), in the form of a book. A popular way to go, and my personal favorite; is by starting with Green Lantern: Rebirth; written by Geoff Johns. I can help with the reading order, or what comes next; as its a series that still carries on in the New 52.
Also, i t may be out of place for me to say; but I would also suggest getting them a GL Ring. A Green Lantern is capable of overcoming great fear; which in the case of their friend, might be a cool thing to have around to always be brave.
Anyway, hope this helps. Id be more than happy to explain anything more/ help with any further questions :)
Here's a big list of DC recommendations I've made before. You can pick them up in trades, or as single issues. Check Amazon, or Comixology, or InStockTrades.
> For New 52 Batman and Batman-related books, I recommend the following:
 
>For other New 52, I would recommend:
 
>And here are some good pre-N52 that you should definitely check out:
On the Marvel side, I personally recommend Matt Fraction's Hawkeye, Mard Waid's Daredevil, Nathan Edmondson's Black Widow, Cullen Bunn's Magneto, and Matt Fraction's Invincible Iron Man.
Read this:
Each of these books cost around $10 from amazon, all come highly recommended:
Flash: Volume 1
Batman: Volume 1 Volume 2. This was a year long arc and both volumes are one story. The current run in Detective comics, called Icarus, is fantastic, but it hasn't been collected yet.
Green Arrow: Volume 4. Don't read books 1-3. You'll thank me later.
Green Lantern carries on from the old series, which starts here
I would also recommend the Wonder Woman series (starts here) and the Aquaman series here (Aquaman rocks now, in case you haven't heard).
I hope you have lots of fun reading and collecting comics, it really is a great hobby.
So, I'm english and this explanation will be in pounds, but you should get the gist.
The omnibus is £61.75 for 44 issues which means you're paying £1.40 per issue.
Rebirth is £10.99 for 6 issues which means you're paying £1.83 per issue.
Hence the omnibus is cheaper. By about 40p
Hal Jordan
Emerald Dawn
Emerald Dawn II
Emerald Twilight
As Parallax
Zero Hour
The Final Night
As The Spectre
Green Lantern: Power of Ion
Green Lantern: Brother's Keeper
Rebirth
Green Lantern: Rebirth

This is what I've got for Hal Jordan so far.. up until the new 52.
No, this one from 2004.
Then you continue with Geoff Johns GL run which is http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Green_Lantern_Vol_4 the Blackest Night preludes starts on issue ~40 but read everything up to that as well.
Introduction to Comics
How to Get Into Comic Books (13:40) | Patrick Willems
Consider your intent/commitment. Think about your favorite shows, movies, books, etc. Reading primarily for enjoyment or encyclopedic knowledge? Collecting? Have the time/resources to read 50 or 500 comics per character?
Don’t try to read everything at once. There’s too much. Forget about catching up, continuity, universes, etc. for now. Older comics can be an acquired taste for modern audiences, so they aren’t necessarily ideal starting points. Writers change often, characters get re-worked, and origins are re-told. Remember, there are many great characters, creators, publishers, etc. to explore.
Pick an interesting character/team and seek their most popular/acclaimed stories. Focus on self-contained, complete stories in one corner of the universe. There will be unexplained references/characters, just persevere or Wiki. Don’t let the tangled web of shared-universe comics overwhelm you. Think of it like solving a jigsaw puzzle one small piece at a time until you finally see the big picture.
Discover your preferences and let them guide you. Don’t get stuck preparing/over-analyzing, just start reading. Do you like/dislike old/new comics? Specific writers/genres? Cartoony/realistic art? Familiar/weird concepts? References/self-contained? All-ages/mature content? Follow these instincts. Didn’t understand a reference? Maybe read that next.
Acquire/Buy comics:
Marvel
DC
You can skip to the 2016 re-launch with DC Universe: Rebirth and then any Rebirth series #1.
Other
it doesn't say unless I'm blind, but I'm willing to guess that's a hardcover edition. I prefer paperbacks for comics and I have this ordinary edition which is about half price GL: Rebirth. also note that both your and my site are american, surely you or your shop can find something if not from germany at least european.
other than that it's a fine place to start and welcome to the corps
Green Lantern Rebirth by Geoff Johns
Indestructible Hulk by Mark Waid
Deadpool by Brian Posehn and Gerry Dugan. Best Deadpool book in a very very very long time, and it's relatively new. The current arc is some of the best Deadpool I've EVER read.
Deathstroke & Silver Surfer I don't have any recommendations for.
OK. Just read their descriptions, see if you find them interesting. I loved or liked all of these, so I'll vouch for their quality, but you won't love everything you read.
For DC:
For Marvel:
For Flash:
Barry Allen started his carrier in the comics in 1959 until 1985 and then he was absent on until 2009. His modern-age series called The Flash: Rebirth when he returned. After that 2 trades came (In comics, a trade paperback (often shortened to trade) is a collection of stories originally published in comic books, reprinted in book format, usually capturing one story arc from a single title or a series of stories with a connected story arc or common theme.) called The Flash Vol. 1: The Dastardly Death of the Rogues and The Flash Vol. 2: The Road to Flashpoint.
After these, a HUGE event came that changed everything called Flashpont that "reset" the continuity and started the New 52 age and it's first story-line called The Flash, Vol. 1: Move Forward . This series (New52) lasted till Spring 2016 and collected 9 trades (the show you watched is based on this era). In early 2016 DC Rebirth came (only name change, everything is continued from New52) but a huge exception: a long missing character came back to the grand scene who was missing for so long. Rebirth's first trade is The Flash Vol. 1: Lightning Strikes Twice
So if you are interested in Barry (overall) start with The Flash: Rebirth and move onward to Flashpont, but you can just start with The Flash, Vol. 1: Move Forward or DC Rebirth and The Flash Vol. 1: Lightning Strikes Twice, then read everything up to today. (there was a Flash event called Flash War which ended a few months ago)
(there is an omnibus on sale at the moment (a collection of multiple trades) called The Flash By Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato Omnibus that collects the first 4 trades of the New 52 era.
For Superman:
His New 52 story wasn't that great (if you ask 10 people, almost 9 of them will tell you that you should skip that era), but there are 3 "essential" TPBs in that period of time:
Superman: The Men of Tomorrow by Geoff Johns
Lois Lane and Clark
Superman: The Final Days of Superman
After these, you can start with Superman Vol. 1: Son Of Superman and move forward with the volumes until a strange storyline called Superman:Reborn that ends the Final Days of Superman story. Rebirth's final TPB called Superman Vol. 7: Bizarroverse (not out yet), which is followed by a fresh new start called The Man of Steel that kicks out Superman #1 (remember, we started from New 52, yet Superman: Reborn came along)
(but if you want a full reading, you can easily start with Superman Vol. 1: What Price Tomorrow? New 52 TPB.)
About Action Comics: compared to Superman solo series, Action Comics is more about Metropolis and things happening NOT JUST with Superman, but with his friends and family etc. The first 3 volumes of New 52 were fantastic, written by Grant Morrison (starting with [Action Comics Vol. 1: Superman and the Men of Steel] (https://www.amazon.com/Superman-Action-Comics-Vol-Steel/dp/1401235476/ ) but overall the whole New 52 was a decent run.
After New 52, Rebirth's first volume's called Action Comics Vol. 1: Path Of Doom
For Aquaman:
I highly recommend starting with New 52 and move forward to Rebirth and more, as it is a great adventure seeing Aquaman in action during that period of time, lots of fun and interesting stories.
New 52 first volume/TPB called Aquaman Vol. 1: The Trench
Rebirth first volume called Aquaman Vol. 1: The Drowning
Also have to mention that the new movie coming out soon is LOOSLY (not entirely, but still) based on the story-line called Aquaman Vol. 3: Throne of Atlantis (new52)
For Batman:
There is a new kind of book format coming out just now called "Essential Edition" which is basically pack of 2 (or more) volumes/TPBs in 1 book.
Batman's story starts WAY before New 52 (his and Green Lantern's history wasn't "deleted", so everything happened in the past, is still here with us), so it is advisable to start at least Year One, then jump into New 52 via Batman: The Court of Owls Saga (DC Essential Edition) , which is followed by a great arc called Batman Vol. 3: Death of the Family and others as well. It is highly recommend to read through the whole New 52 series, as it is a MASTERPIECE!
Rebirth starts with Batman Vol. 1: I Am Gotham
Just like Action Comics is connected to Superman, here Detective Comics connected with Batman. Detective Comics is about the Bat-family operating in Gotham City, solving mysteries etc.
New 52 first TPB Detective Comics Vol. 1: Faces of Death
Rebirth first TPB Detective Comics Vol. 1: Rise of the Batmen
For Green Lantern:
Just like Batman, Green Lantern's story wasn't deleted prior New 52, everything that happened BEFORE, is still here with is (even today). Yet you don't have to start at the very beginning, there is a really respectable writer called Geoff Johns (mentioned earlier) who started to write Green Lantern back in 2005 (long time ago) and his work laid down the basics of the mythos around the Lantern Corps, the different rings, lot of intergalactic battles etc.
His first work was Green Lantern: Rebirth, followed by many over the years. I mentioned the Omnibus format back at The Flash, for Green Lantern it is highly recommended to get through his story (as it is a HUGE connected story from the Green Lantern Rebirth) via those books
Green Lantern by Geoff Johns Omnibus Vol. 1
Green Lantern by Geoff Johns Omnibus Vol. 2
Green Lantern by Geoff Johns Omnibus Vol. 3
After these, the overall story continues in the Green Lantern: Rise of the Third Army and Green Lantern: The Wrath of the First Lantern TPBs.
Just like Action Comics and Detective Comics, there is a companion series for the "main" Green Lantern books, called Green Lantern Corps. Before New 52, the old TPBs weren't reprinted, so it is hard to collect that era (starts with Green Lantern Corps Vol. 1: To Be a Lantern ) but the New 52 books are much more widely available. The first one is Green Lantern Corps Vol. 1: Fearsome.
After New 52, the "main" Green Lantern book becomes Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps Vol. 1: Sinestro's Law and the Green Lantern Corps to Green Lanterns Vol. 1: Rage Planet.
Wow it is a huge list and lot of stuff. I missed a few things, but even if you start reading these, you won't be disappointed for a while. (and when you're not sure how/where to next, just ask me or anyone here on Reddit). For the buying process: there are a few options: local comic shop (LCS), amazon, ebay, https://www.speedyhen.com/ (if you are UK based), http://bookdepository.com/, https://www.instocktrades.com/ for starters.
Hope this helps!
So I'll start with DC as i know more about that. Flash and GL might confuse you a bit at the start but don't worry just persist through and google when needed.
For Green Lantern I would definitely start with Geoff Johns run on the character, it's a personal favourite and has had quite the hand in settng up Green Lantern and the corps as it is today. Now since you haven't read and 90s GL you might be confused but dont worry, Johns retells a lot of the main stuff you need to know from the 90s stuff and helps new readers understand, and of course google as well! He also does a retold origin of Hal Jordan a little bit into it.
For Johns run start at Green Lantern: Rebirth (not to be confused with the current DC line revival). Its a series that can be purchased in a Trade Paperback (the totality of a story arc collected into one grapic novel) here https://www.amazon.ca/Green-Lantern-Rebirth-Geoff-Johns/dp/1401227554 . After done reading this you can continue on by following this reading order https://www.comicbookherald.com/reading-dc-comics/green-lantern-reading-order/ . This site is really handy for new readers. It has reading orders for a ton of different titles that can help guide you, this specific list breaks it down in the trades and then single issues that make up a trade.
Ok i didn't plan to write this much lol. I will DM you Flash and Spider-man as well so youdont have to read a big wall of text. And you can also DM me any questions anytime, always happy to guide new readers.
Awesome thanks so much.
Added to cart
The Rebirth run is good too, but there is a trade called "Green Lantern: Rebirth" which is the start of Geoff Johns' run. It's a must-read IMO for any GL fan, especially since you already read SCW.
https://www.amazon.com/Green-Lantern-Rebirth-Geoff-Johns/dp/1401227554
Absolutely!
Here I was bored at work:
Rebirth
No Fear
Revenge of the Green Lanterns
Wanted: Hal Jordan
The Sinestro Corps War
Secret Origin (This one can really be read anywhere before Rage of the
Red Lanterns)
Rage of the Red Lanterns
Agent Orange
Blackest Night (Reading order here)
GL: Blackest Night
Brightest Day (Reading order here)
GL: Brightest Day
War of the Green Lanterns
Sinestro
Revenge of the Black Hand
Rise of the Third Army
Wrath of the First Lantern
Start with Green Lantern: Rebirth by Geoff Johns, then possibly Secret Origin (which came later in his run on the book, but tells the origin of Hal Jordan), there's some books in-between, but you could then move on into Sinestro Corp War and then into Blackest Night.
http://amzn.com/1401227554 Here's a link to GL: Rebirth on Amazon.
I would say start here for the current incarnation.
If you want a sense of history, check out Green Lantern: Emerald Dawn. That's my Hal. Not the hot-headed brawler in later incarnations.
Flash trade paperbacks are great but some of them are out of print.
'Flash Rebirth' is the obvious answer but I don't think it is for people knew to the character.
I would start with the main 'Flashpoint' title by Geoff Johns
http://www.amazon.com/Flashpoint-Geoff-Johns/dp/1401233376/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1374858577&sr=1-1&keywords=flashpoint
And then maybe jump on to the first New 52 Volume one.
also here are some recommendations from me.
Green Lantern: Secret Origins
http://www.amazon.com/Green-Lantern-Secret-Geoff-Johns/dp/1401220177/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1374858635&sr=1-1&keywords=Green+lantern+secret+origins
Green Lantern: Rebirth (all you have to know that the Silver age green lantern Hal Jordan became a villian in the mid 90s)
http://www.amazon.com/Green-Lantern-Rebirth-Geoff-Johns/dp/1401227554/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1374858653&sr=1-1&keywords=Green+lantern+rebirth
Get Mark Waid's 'Irredeemable' too
http://www.amazon.com/Irredeemable-1-Mark-Waid/dp/1934506907/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1374858804&sr=1-1&keywords=%27Irredeemable%27
This one
for dc it depends what superhero. if you want to get into green lantern i suggest reading the rebirth series then move on to the post-crisis green lantern series (started in like 2005. the first volume is called no fear) then finally start on the new 52 and thats when you would catch up. also maybe read up on a few key things that happened pre-crisis before reading rebirth (hal getting possesed by the embodiment of fear called parallax and killing nearly every green lantern, then he fused with a being called spectre in order to help silence parallax.)
Superman: Red Son
All Star Superman
Superman: American Alien
Batman and Superman Number One
Throne of Atlantis from Justice League and Aquaman
If you haven't yet Watchmen is a must for any reader, comics or not
Anything Geoff Johns wrote for Green Lantern (Frankly anything he's written for DC). He has 3 Omnibuses (Very Large Collections with MANY stories). Particularly look for:
Green Lantern Rebirth
Flash Rebirth
Flashpoint
Blackest Night
In Brightest Day
Geoff Johns Omnibuses
Or always Peruse other Trades/Omnibuses to see what piques your interest
Also, I know it's a DC sub, but if you're okay with adult themes: Saga
Basically the Green Lantern story line needed a little more time to finish, eventually they changed writers and made it more new reader friendly in volume 4 which isn't a bad place to start if you want to follow the New 52 Green Lanterns. However if you really want to get into a very good Green Lantern book start with Rebirth like the commenter above said, and then follow the rest of Geoff Johns run. It's pretty amazing.
