Translation errors can be pretty funny sometimes. I chuckled at "corpse"
So, there are a few Green Lantern books out now, but it sounds like you want "Green Lantern." Also, season=volume.
What you want to do is buy Green Lantern Vol. 1: Sinestro, Green Lantern Vol. 2: The Revenge of Black Hand , and Green Lantern Vol. 3: The End
That covers almost all of the currently released Green Lantern comics.

I'm reading through the current comics and you at one point said you want all five volumes, which you don't.
Read this:
My bad, I thought you meant Vol 1 like this
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1401234550/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1473897787&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=green+lantern+vol+1
I didn't realise you meant Omnibus 1
Yeah the one you got is the perfect starting place, you are in for one hell of an adventure, I envy you for being able to experience this for the first time, I read all of Johns run in about 6 days, I'm normally quite a quick reader, but I was on vacation for 3 weeks and figured they would last me until after I got back, I didn't expect to make it through 1 while I was there, but I was so drawn into the story I couldn't put it down, I ended up reading until like 2-3 in the morning because it was so amazing
Back issues that are in demand cost more than normal. They sell collected editions of earlier issues, which are generally cheaper. Green Lanern volume 1 goes for £7.69 at amazon, which collects issues 1-6.
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
)Ah; okay Volumes. Not to be confused with Trade Volumes; Series Volumes are (usually not collected entirely) the series in years. So for example Volume 4 Went from 2005-2011. And in 2011- Present is Volume 5; which is also considered, New 52 Green Lantern.
If they mean they want to start here, I'm assuming that means they've read previous entries, as this starts in the middle of something. This series currently has 24 issues, a 0 issue, and an Annual Issue. There are multiple ways of getting them to your friend. Volumes 1 and 2 of this series is actually out now on Paperback, and both contain issues 1-12. And I believe Volume 3 is in HC now.
As pointed out by another user; you can also hunt down the individual issues; but they may cost more, especially issue 1. You can also go digital; if that's an option. Green Lantern also crosses over with 3 other GL related books, GL: New Guardians, GL Corps and Red Lanterns. GL: New Guardians and GL Corps are both EXCELLENT books, while Red Lanterns starts off slow, but REALLY picks up; currently a fan favorite. Although its not nessesary to read all of them to continue reading Green Lantern it certainly helps.
I mean, you listed 3 DC characters with some pretty good series in the New 52, DC's reboot starting in 2011. Personally, I would just start with the following volumes (volume 2 for all of them are out now).
[Green Lantern] (http://www.amazon.com/Green-Lantern-Vol-Sinestro-The/dp/1401234550/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1373966825&sr=8-1&keywords=green+lantern+vol+1)
[The Flash] (http://www.amazon.com/Flash-Vol-Move-Forward-New/dp/1401235530/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1373966892&sr=1-1&keywords=the+flash+vol+1)
[Batman] (http://www.amazon.com/Batman-Vol-Court-Owls-New/dp/1401235425/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1373966919&sr=1-1&keywords=Batman+vol+1)
Additionally, I would recommend [Animal Man] (http://www.amazon.com/Animal-Man-Vol-Hunt-New/dp/1401235077/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1373966984&sr=1-2&keywords=Animal+Man) or [All-Star Western] (http://www.amazon.com/All-Star-Western-Vol-Gotham/dp/1401237096/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1373967018&sr=1-1&keywords=all-star+western) for something different. All of these series are very new-reader friendly, with no continuity bogging them down. Batman's by far the most popular, and for pretty good reason. Hope this helps!
I would say that if you have read the Blackest Night trade and are happy with how the story is,(ie. you want to start reading from that point, there is a lot of story before that, but the wiki is your friend if you dont want to break the bank) then it is easy enough to get into the new 52.
Assuming for a minute you want the green lantern corps stories as well. You are looking at:
That leads you all the way up to the new 52 ( and tbh you could get away with just blackest night, brightest day and war) where you have to first volume of the 4 new series all out so far:
So overall, starting at blackest night, you are looking at about $150 or so, and thats not including 2nd hand, sales if you can find em, etc.
I would say you would be paying about the same, or a little more towards 200 dollars to collect the stories from the start of Johns' run (rebirth) up to blackest night. If youre not looking to spend a lot of money, what I would recommend is just read blackest night and then dive straight into the new 52. It will take some googling, but sometimes you just need to jump into a story and get your hands dirty so that you can enjoy it going forward. Sometimes its just too much effort, time and moveywise, to amass the entire story run.
Hope that helps!
Well there are two types of volumes now: the comic volume and the trade volume. The comic volume starts at issue one and goes until the series ends and when they start the series up again they start at 1 again and is considered the next volume. Each of these volumes can go on for hundreds of issues. A trade volume is they do books that collect 5 to 7 issues, however long that arc is, so volume one will be issues 1 through 6 and volume 2 will be issues 7 through 12 and so on. So the current comic volume is 5 and the first trade volume is this and the second trade volume is this one. After those you get more choices because the Lantern books started having events that involved all 4 books so you can buy the vol 3 trade or the cross over book that will collect Green lantern; as well as the other Lantern books that tie into the event. If you want to go the floppy route and buy individual issues though then you are talking about probably spending quite a bit more money.
You can start here for all the stuff you mentioned.
