    It's mildly amusing to think of Carol getting the Iris West treatment .

The last time we had a grand reunion like this, it was totally undone by page 6 of the very next issue. For a long time, I had really wished that I stopped reading GL with Geoff Johns' GL#20 and spared myself all the subsequent bullcrap that followed. So now we come full circle and the same situation comes up. Albeit this reunion is a lot more flimsy than before. Venditti's Carol was just sitting in her home twiddling her thumbs this whole time, waiting for Hal like a trophy at the end of the maze? Even her dialog felt off character. "I know, me too?" - just deferring to what Hal said. Come on, when has the Carol we all know and love not had her own answer for these kind of situations? But this time it's - here I am, but the princess is in another castle... jk.

    Maybe Sir Grant will split them to suit his story. Maybe Tom King could find a bullchit reason for them to break up. Won't be too hard after seeing what he did with Bats. I mean seriously, Catwoman calls it off because her dumbass friend told her to? In the immortal words of true romantic Bobby Brown: "No matter what your friends might tell you, we were meant to fall in love." And if that song gets stuck in your head for the whole weekend, then you're welcome.

    I don't know, maybe it's time I go take a peek over at what Marvel's been up to. I head One More Day is being undone.
    You up in here quoting Bobby Brown?!

    If Kyle dies in Heroes in Crisis, it ain't gonna make a difference in the long run. He's Space Jesus now. He dies and comes back and dies and comes back. Hal's died...what? Three times now?

    That is Carol from DeMatties Spectre. She wasn't turned black. That's just the colorist's style.

    I don't know if you intended this to be such, but this is very very funny.

    Well, Hal was the Spectre and lost everything then. It is reasonable for him to be poetic and melancholy.

    Yeah, I can see where people can see it... but if you look closely, she's no darker than Hal is in that page.

    yep... That's why I hated that run. The higher ups and the Kyle Fans of the day were like "You wanted Hal back... There, we gave you Hal back!" but no... they really didn't. He may have had the same name, but the character was completely unrecognizable. I tried to support Hal as much as I could, but even after that drought, I still couldn't keep going with that series. His JSA and JLA guest appearances were pretty fun, but that solo series... was... wow...


    Suprisingly I see I made it at least a year, but really have NO memory of the story at all....

    When I saw Hal Jordan was the Specter I said - uch - at least he is not Parallax now .. and put down the book hopeing for the day they fix everything. It was a dark time in comicbooks for me.

    Yes, from issue 5.

    This is Carol from the previous issue, just for comparison. I think they're colored a little darker toned because the scene is happening outdoors in the dark:

    It did get pretty metaphysical, yeah. That's a forte of DeMatteis and the Spectre is a good vehicle to explore that. Spectre Hal wasn't "typical" Hal but I do think the book did him justice overall
