Do you really think modern John came from Geoff Johns or was solely written by Geoff Johns? What about the DCAU crew who actually updated him and gave him prominence? What about Venditti and Jensen who didn't write him a moping little ***** to Hal Jordan to prop up silver age nostalgia? Get outta here.
No one is complaining with group shots of Hal at the center, so please leave the other lanterns alone when they are at the center.
