I don't think Venditti will ever go down as one of my favorite GL writers, but I think he did manage to turn things around pretty well for his run overall.
I agree. All things considered, we could do a lot worse than Venditti.
So are there any back issues that you can think of that celebrate Hal's birthday? There might be one in the Spectre one but I can't remember, any luck?
I wonder if Morrison would mention something about Hal's birthday. He does seem too keen to go back to aspects of the character that haven't been around for awhile.
So what do you guys want to see Morrison do with Hal in the book. If there's anything you really wanted him to do with the character, what would that be?
I mean, I have more general hopes then things I specifically want Morrison to do, but as a whole:
- Hal as a competent and effective hero, and not an idiot.
- A legitimate supporting cast for him to bounce off of.
- Carol to be used, as a love interest or otherwise.
- Cool ring constructs.
- Maybe bump up some of the old Rogues Gallery who've fallen by the wayside, kind of like what Venditti was doing to some degree later in his run with the Controllers and Darkstars.
- Just let Hal be on Earth for longer then five minutes.
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.
