If they do a new "HTH" I'd want them to travel around sector 2814 instead of America this time. Hal, Ollie, Dinah and Jessica sound good to me.
Could I argue for Simon Baz instead of Jessica? I like Jessica and love that she’s been getting some use after Green Lanterns, but Simon Baz hasn’t really been used all that much and I’d love to see some more focus on him after Green Lanterns.
"It's fun and it's cool, so that's all that matters. It's what comics are for, Duh."
Words to live by.
There's already three dudes on the team and Jessica is, in my opinion, the better and more interesting character. There's a reason that Jess has taken off while Simon hasn't appeared anywhere since his creator lost his executive position. Again, this is all my opinion. I'm sure someone will do something interesting with Simon one of these days, but I haven't found anything particularly compelling about him...yet.
I loved that story.
Part of me, the artist ... and the writer part too ... parts of me thought that it would have been just as poignant but kind of funnier and more "Hal Jordanish" if he said the dialogue "I Read it on another Planet" to Ollie but the artwork showed him with green headphones in listening to it as a book-on-tape. I'm a book reader and I know lots of book readers, some of whom are tactile hands-on guys and girls. But something about Hal Jordan and his proclivity for multitasking made me think it'd be hard for him to just sit still. Although that's rather the point - to sit still and take it in and meditate. But yeah, thought he might be more of a book-on-tape guy.
I hope analogue books always exist and am not bothered at the fact that those who want to listen to a story rather than scan a document still get the whole experience of an author's words.
