I guess sometimes not being the designate JL GL has its perks.

It could lead to some interesting stories but I doubt anything would come to fruition. For instance is this the first time where all of Hal's peers are gone and he basically has to deal with the "kids" by himself? Hal Jordan isn't usually the guy that comes to mind to help guide a younger generation of heroes who just lost their role models, and it could turn out to be a memorable story. Wish it has something to do with way back when Williamson said there were plans for Hal but again, I doubt anything would come out of this. Hal is front and center on that cover for no other reason than his founding JL status.
I don't believe that's what j9ac9k meant, I think his point was that Hal keeps getting left out of these big JL stories all the time, while the other 6 founders are usually always there. I don't mind it in this instance since obviously Hal wasn't part of this line-up and him showing up out of nowhere just to "die" would be odd, but I can see why Hal fans are disappointed that he's once again the one to get left out since this has been a pattern for a while now.

Hal and his hands.

I don't know, on one hand sure, it would be cool to see Hal play a role in whatever the next big thing is. Or have some comic book where he appears on regular basis (well I guess he should be in next 2 GL issues), but at this point I have no desire to read Williamson's work. He manages to write okay Robin, but everything else I tried wasn't my cup of coffee.
I would expect Hal to form a new Justice League to bring hope to others and carry on the name so that it lives on, so I'm dreading the scene that shows why Hal won't do it. (the only reasonable explanation to me is that some cosmic issue dragging him away) I also expect it'll be the only significant scene he has in this.
