I think being political is part of John's DNA, and I'd love to see a writer like Bendis, who's shown himself capable of doing overtly political storylines that are still fun superhero stories, take a crack at John & Hal butting heads over various issues without it devolving to the preachy nonsense Denny O'Neil & Neal Adams stuff reads like now.
Preist, back when he was still called Jim Owlsey, used John & Hal to great effect in this manner back in the late 1980s when he sent them both to South Africa during Apartheid.
