In terms of GL? Not in the least.

Specifically for Hal and GL? Not holding my breath.

Then again there isn't much else at Part 2 that's likely to be announced that's got my attention.

Is she gone, wasn't it her that was cheering on Unca Hal in Sinestro Corps War during the big battle of Coast City?

I'm pretty sure that was Jim's daughter, Jane. Or maybe I'm misremembering.

Helen already appeared in Morrison's run in TGL annual #1.

Oh, thank you! I'd completely forgotten that Helen was in the annual with Airwave and the other Jordan kids. I'd love to see more in-depth stuff with Hal's family relationships.

It's frustrating to keep hoping for something.

I get that, but like I said about the first one compared to what Superman got at the first one I’ll take no news over bad news.

Maybe there will be something on the HBO show.

I mean 9 days before the original fandome happened, before it got split in two, the HBO Max Twitter did make a post about Green Lantern. It’s possible that something was supposed to happen but it got moved to this Saturday, then again I won’t raise too many hope just to dash them.

The other similar countdown images I saw featured live action Robotman, Shazam and Black Lightning. I don't recall there being any big news released about those properties,(or was there?) so those images may have just been used to represent DC rather than hint at upcoming news.

man, even the tease led to nothing...

[Mutatis_Mutandis]

Man, I absolutely adore Morrison's Hal. Extremely strong character moments in TGL Season 2 #7.

I enjoyed it as well. I like how Grant writes GL and how I get to read it over and over and still find something new. Makes the price worth it.

Joan Colby, the 1st rebound girl when Hal and Carol split up. She only appeared in GL Vol 2 #50. Hal split town after learning that, like Carol, Joan had a thing for Green Lantern and he didn't want to deal with that again!

As I understand Morrison assigned each of them to different colour? I don't know much about these characters so I have no idea, but does it make some sense? Or does it feel random?

They all work pretty well for me. The only one that I didn't know was Joan, who only had one appearance as far as I know and I barely remembered that story.

Kari being Love is particularly appropriate, given how much of a whirlwind romance that was, which of course ended badly for everyone.

Not sure about Olivia Reynolds as Rage, but I guess with the U-Mind stuff it tracks.
