I would say Morrison gives almost everything I want to see yet didn't see before in a Hal's book, even beyond my expectation, like how Hal manages his daily work, what's his views on earth, frienship, love, the Corps and himself. And Morrison's really dug into Hal's personality, his relationships, his charisma. I feel Morrison truly understands Hal as a character. In addition, I really love those Sci-Fi elements and imaginations for alien planets and lives.
So I agree Morrison's topped Johns in some ways.
BTW, Hal and his ring is definetely a god-tier relationship
(reminds me of Master Chief and Cortana)
