He does. Sharp has done amazing on this series. One small pet peeve I have with him though is that when he posts Hal art, he often refers to Hal as being "from another era". All of the major characters in DC and Marvel are from another era. I get that TGL is inspired by the more classic GL stories as opposed to the Johns era, but there's no need to keep suggesting that Hal is somehow an "oldschool" character, especially when a good portion of the major DC heroes were created before he was. We don't see Superman artists talk about drawing Clark Kent to look like an oldschool investigative journalist just because he was created 80 years ago. It's no big deal, but I think there's no need to point this out so often.

I think the important thing to understand is "oldschool" is not necessarily old-fashioned. Look at the people Sharp mentions as his inspirations - Newman, Dean, Brando - actors who generally portrayed characters with an anti-authoritarian streak. I don't think it's about making Hal "outdated"; it's more about giving him a distinct charm and vibe from that era that helps distinguish him as a character.

This makes me think I'd be down for a period piece Hal story...something like New Frontier.

How about another a story titled Green Lantern meets the Masters of the Universe.

LOL at Sinestro's pornstache.

Somebody give Rick Rude a black ring so he can get his mustache back.

Why not? Hal's already gone where no superhero went before with that JJ Abrams Star Trek crossover, followed by a visit to the Planet of the Apes, so why not have him kicking around Castle Greyskull?

Seems like they're using the First Flight aesthetic somewhat.
