[HsssH]

Interestingly Enrique Alcatena proposed Heroic Fantasy/Lovecraftian Green Lantern thing for Elseworlds that was turned down, he made some great art for the pitch.

Wish I hadn't clicked on that. We could've had it all. 😢

Something we almost never see: Hal and Diana

Where is this form?

We definitely need to see more of the friendship between these two. Hopefully Adams includes her in his run if expanding on Hal's earthbound connections is a priority.

Isn't Diana supposed to become a fugitive soon. It would probably make it harder to have a team-up with Hal even if they wanted to. It's been long overdue either way.

Rip and tear until it's done.

That was from the mini-comics that were produced with General Mills and packaged with their cereals. And no, their products didn't factor into the story with the Lucky Charms Leprechaun as a 5th dimensional imp saving the world from Darkseid or anything like that. The stories themselves were just straight-forward one-off JL stories. There were actually two volumes (the second volume had JesSimon as the GLs) - you can read about it here: https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/General_M...e_League_Vol_1

These actually look kind of fun.

They are. They have the lightness of an old Saturday morning cartoon but they give you a decent idea of their personalities and of the ones I've read there's usually an interesting team-up. (one of them has Flash teaming with Catwoman, with Batman deciding to tag along, because ... of course he does)

And here's Hal dropping a mountain on the Shaggy Man:

Que the DOOM soundtrack!

Damn that sucks this didn’t happen

I have a few Hal Jordan/GL questions, please:

1) Is Hal's ring made of green energy solidified? Or is it made from some metal? Just what is the ring made?

2) Does the ring have a jewel center, the center part that shoots out the energy made from a portion of the central battery?

Well we're not 100% sure what is up with Hal's current ring and a firm answer on others is hard because, retcons, but normally GLC rings are made of some kind of martial. I can't recall what the most recent explanation was or if there has been a change since the 80s or not, but there they were made of the same martial as the batteries, a crystal made by the Guardians well some of the others were working on making the Manhunters. And the rings are stated to have a jewel though again we have ones that clearly break this rule. (The ring Hal forged form his own will had no place for a jewel) in the days when Hal was a back-up feature in the Flash it was revealed the raw martial for the jewels actually come from one of the moons of Saturn I think. The Jewel tends to visible only in the icon shaped rings. Again any number of these details could have been changed or thrown away by now.
