Hal Jordan Appreciation 2018

[SJNeal]

Has the DeMatties / Breyfogle Spectre series ever been collected. I never read it. Maybe it's time to give it a shot

Nope. I'd be pleasantly surprised if they did though; DC seems to want to forget about Hal's time as The Spectre.

And yes, if you come across some cheap issues, pick them up. Even if the premise isn't for you, one can't go wrong with DeMatteis doing his existential thing (Sook and Breyfogle's art was great too, of course).

As posted by liwanag on the Doomsday Clock thread, seems like our boy will show up in the story. Oh man...

Now I just want to know what he did with one of my favourite characters/the Nu52 Vibe. What did you do Manhattan!

Some interesting costumes there. Stargirl. Haven't seen her in awhile. But Johns is writing. Phantom Stranger is an interesting choice.
Good to see Tim Drake is still around. Wasn't he supposed to play a big role? Being captured by Mr. Oz and all.
Who is the red costume with the silver wrists and blue cape?

Etrigan I think. Interesting that Zatanna's costume is there too and I guess that's Raven's cape to the left?

I'm pretty sure that's Raven. You can see her red amulet thing on there too.

Yeah. You'r right. Good catch.

And the Phantom Stranger as well. That's a lot of magic heroes there. I've been vaguely following Doomsday Clock but this seems interesting that there is such a magic presence in that story.

Probably going to be have a big collection of magic heroes as a way to go after Manhattan which will fail of course.

HAHA!!! This is great. It didn't say what flavor it'll be though. Lime?

They should give out actual cake though. That would be great.
Cake and comics sounds like a great mix.

I think enough time has passed since Geoff Johns's wildly successful reboot that DC can collect these stories, particularly now that Morrison is taking the character back to stranger and less conventional storytelling again. I also think Norm Breyfogle's untimely passing will prompt DC to showcase one of his last great works in mainstream superhero comics.

Hal Jordan cake master. That would be something else. Imagine Alfred's reaction if he found Hal messing around in his kitchen.

i hope so. i know it's a watchmen / superman story, but i sure wish green lantern and flash had a part in it.

basically, more exposure for hal... and not just in comics...
