Hal Jordan: The Green Lantern Appreciation 2021

[Robanker]

Man, poor Abin Sur .

Destined to die every time. What a cursed existence that you're having a good go of it when you get buried beneath rocks in an unmarked grave under an unfamiliar sky.

[Johnny]

That's deep.

A moment I liked from early in Johns run was it occurred to Hal that he never bothered to go track down If Abin Sur had family and then went to his planet.

The ring didn't look for a replacement.

Maybe he was in some kind of a coma...

That's his decoy ring. He got it in a cracker jack box. :P

Saw a fan theory once that since the ring didn't go looking for a replacement it meant he may not have been dead just yet.

He was just knocked out or heavily sedated.

Fun fan theories... but the legit reason would probably be that the rings never looked for a replacement. Abin Sur always sent his energy beam out to find a suitable replacement because he knew he was dying... It wasn't an automatic thing. At least not till Johns took over in 2004. That was one of the things he added in, but before that there was always the threat that whoever killed a GL would get their hand on the ring... unless a Guardian took it in their own hands to get it back or destroy it. It didn't fly off on it's own. But yeah, since Red Son came out in 2003 so that was pre-Johns mythology.

Rock naps are all the rage these days.

Rock naps are all the rage these days.

during his college days, abin has been known to be able to sleep through the worst storms or the loudest parties that his dorm mates had. it has both been a blessing and a curse for abin.

"Oh damn I slept past the Crisis. I hope I didn't miss Blackest Night."
