Hal Jordan Appreciation 2018

[Frontier]

As far as I'm concerned, I just want a good Hal Jordan character piece from Morrison. I'm not that particular when it comes to which characters I'd like to see show up or what the specific stories would be about, just give me a good Hal-focused run that accentuates both on the hero and the man and what makes him a great character and I'd be happy,

(We sure do use this gif a lot ).

I'd boil down my hopes for Morrison's run into the thing I want to see the most:
-- Hal as a competent GL who is more than just "the guy who charges in with boxing gloves and jets." Not that there's anything wrong with that, but after 50 issues of that from Venditti, I want to see more of Hal's depth and his skills with the ring. Back when he had the yellow weakness he would find creative solutions all the time to win the day rather than just pour on the willpower.

Feb 20th. That makes him a Pisces.
BTW, Bruce Wayne's birthday is Feb 19th. I've always thought there could have been a story about these two celebrating their birthdays together.

in the calendar, clark's birthday is february too... i think...

no doubt. The best stories, though, is about what happens to the people in the funny suits.

Look at the legs and waste. Jordan has a Green Tush

Gil Kane, when he was alive, was very jelous about his uniform design for GL and vocal about it, when done incorrectly.

Gil is no longer here with us, so I will take up the mantle for him

Out of all the classic costumes that have changed and evolved over the decades, Hal's uniform has probably changed the least. It just doesn't look like a onesie anymore.

[j9ac9k]

I agree. It was a simple but much needed improvement. And luckily people aren't clamoring for his "trunks" to return. I am glad that they're moving away from Jim Lee's armored shoulders design - almost nobody made it look good.

I’ve always thought the old uniform consists of black tights and a green leotard. LOL
Uniforms should have development as time changes. Even Gil Kane changed the shoulder design himself.
