[Margaret]

Ah...New Frontier. One of the best books and one of the best Hal's characterization in my opinion

darwyn cooke sure is missed.

I know we should be glad that Rebirth gave us Hal Jordan back as Green Lantern, but honestly New Frontier was the book that really got that ball rolling. Darwyn Cooke was the man

I miss Tomar-Re.

I love Tomar-Re, but honestly his death scene was one of my favorite comic book moments ever. The way his ring chose John Stewart, only to have John say "But I'm already a Green Lantern" With his last words Tomar says 'Yes, but you're wearing Hal Jordan's ring...." Then to have the rings switch over and both of them are back in the corp... That was just a powerful scene for me. I would hate to see it retconned or for him to somehow come back.



On a separate note... Has anything ever been done with Goldface in... decades? I think I last saw him in Guy Gardner's solo back in the 90's. Now that they've removed the yellow weakness again, he's kind of pointless... but I always liked him.

can anybody here think of a creator that could make a sequel to new frontier?

Not sure about the writer, but for art? Doc Shaner all the way.

He had a fairly prominent role in Geoff Johns' original Flash run.

I'm not sure I want to see a New Frontier sequel without Cooke.

Ed Brubaker as writer and I like Doc for art as well

I'm not sure I want to see a New Frontier sequel without Cooke.

Cooke's New Frontier was sort of a spiritual sequel to Robinson's Golden Age. In turn, I would love another great creator to give their take on the 1960s era, from the rise of the Teen Titans to The Creeper, dealing with the turbulent events surrounding the Cuban Missile Crisis, the assassination of JFK, MLK & RFK and the Vietnam War.

As well as Shaner mentioned above. Michael Cho channels a style that's visually reminiscent.







I'd be all over an ongoing adventures, spun out of the New Frontier U.

I listened to the interview on the train to work this morning, and really enjoyed it.

Are the Earth-3 character counterparts opposite in personality or like dark mirrors in that they're evil versions of the characters we know? Either way, Earth-3 versions of the GLC members would be very cool.

Thanks for the feedback. The Earth-3 characters are indeed opposites with their version of the Justice League being the Crime Syndicate. Their GL type character was called Power Ring who was killed by our Earth's Sinestro - with that ring going to Jessica Cruz following Power Ring's death. Venditti talked about wanting to do Earth-3 versions of the GLC which could have been fun to see.
