Still the best take on GL to date.

although Ron Marz is a controversial person in my opinion you can see how much he loves kyle :)
Seriously kyle is the most "oh well" character I know lol

He's a very casual dude.
Kyle's 1st (ish ;)) appearance was such a great issue! As a lifelong Hal fan, even I was intrigued by the new guy, and Marz didn't fail to deliver over the course of the next few years!

Ron Marz wrote the best Kyle Rayner (which makes sense since he created him).
I did like both Geoff Johns' (GL: Recharge in particular) and Judd Winick's takes as well

I absolutely love Kyle's early adventures, especially up to Emerald Knights, especially due to the fact that he crossed over with so many other heroes (From the top of my head: Arsenal, Donna, the Titans, Supergirl, The Legion, Flash, Green Arrow, Batman, Shazam, Wonder Woman, Superman). His book felt right in the middle of the DCU. We still had that with Winick, albeit with a different gravitas, as Kyle became the seasoned expert by then.
I really wish we could get a Kyle-led book set on Earth, that tries to mimic the themes of the 90s series.
Well, Arsenal and Donna make sense because Kyle was actually with them on the New Titans when they finally disbanded in 1996 (the team had existed since 1980, dropping Teen in 1988 because by that point only Danny Chase and Changeling were still teenagers).
One regret about the most recent Titans run in which he joined late is that Donna and Kyle's relationship and his previous link to the team never came up (there was only one more arc after Kyle joined as Nightwing's replacement, so this isn't the creative team's fault) - even though Titans continuity has been restored and Green Lantern didn't even reboot for New 52, so it should be back in canon. I can't understand why Kyle wasn't in The Infected: Deathbringer either, since the protagonists of that one-shot were actually the Titans, and before that issue, he'd been shown to still be with the team. And since the story showed that Donna remembers all her origins (and thus has contradictory memories of the pre-Crisis, pre-Flashpoint, and New 52 universes).... seriously, they've been missing opportunities. And if Kyle is no longer with the Titans, what the heck is he up to?
I hope Kyle will appear on a new series soon I really fear he will die on the next big event.

Even if he does, I doubt it sticks.
I really think they should make Kyle a Blue Lantern. With Hal back as the main GL, as it should be, and a million other Earth GLs running around Kyle needs his own niche. Blue Lantern fits Kyle's persona very well.
Honestly I enjoyed Kyle's GL run but he never felt quite like a full GL without the Corps concept and Willpower being a huge focus. He felt like a much different version of what a GL was as established the last few decades before.
I know its probably never going to happen but I think it would be perfect for Kyle as a character and throw him back in to the spotlight.
Kyle's GL suit is one of the best superhero suits ever though.

Agreed. It also helps that the artwork was very nice (especially, since Darryl Banks was one of the few artists who could actually draw Kyle's goofy mask):

He was pretty cool in Ron Marz's original run. I've found that no other writer has gotten him to work that well for me.
I really enjoyed the Ion series by Ron M I wouldn't mind in fact I would love to see him return to write Kyle.
Hal and Kyle are wholesome

I wonder whats up next for Kyle this year
[QUOTE=9th.;4770479]I wonder whats up next for Kyle this year[/QUOTE]
a solo will be far fetched so either a corps book or he'll be in a team book.
Everybody loves to hug kyle

[QUOTE=9th.;4770479]I wonder whats up next for Kyle this year[/QUOTE]
Maybe he can finally track down and find whatever happened to his other lantern rings which made him the White Lantern? Because they kind of just scattered and then that was it, so maybe figuring out where like the rings which allow access to one of the most powerful lantern abilities ran off to.
[QUOTE=9th.;4770479]I wonder whats up next for Kyle this year[/QUOTE]
If they ever released a GL title with Kyle & Guy headlining (ala Recharge) I'm there in a heartbeat.
Just two Honour Guard Lanterns patrolling wherever they're needed. Kicking arse and taking names.
I think DC just wanted to drop the emotional spectrum story all together and now we barely see the other lantern corps.

Me too. I know the majority won't agree, but the [B]Challengers from Beyond[/B] will always be a highlight for me. :cool:
