Who is your favorite Green Lantern of space sector 2814?

[Pharozonk]

He looks pretty much the part

Really? The Nu52 costume is barely similar to the Golden Age design.

Oh, the costume.

The original was ridiculous anyway, I have always been a fan of the 90's redesign:

Seriously, how many times can you actually say that you liked a 90's redesign?

[Sutekh]

We can only pick one? Gosh, both Kyle and John are great!

I grew up with Hal and watched him change and grow and his story come to an end (and becoming the Spectre? Holy crap, what an incredible final evolution!). Bringing Hal back as a petulant fratboy who screws up all the time just insults the heroic character he grew into, back in the day. I'd vote for lots of older characters, such as Barry or Arthur or Hal, but only before Johns came along and regressed them into arrogant entitled jerks and / or impulsive bumbling screwups.

Guy was always Guy, the one who exists to be punched in the face by Batman and mocked endlessly by everyone else, the BWAHAHA conservative punching bag of the superhero community. His straw man nature, and how it was *cool* and *funny* to smack him down, felt a little too mean-spirited, and didn't just make him look 'punchable,' but, IMO, made Batman, Black Canary, etc. look like self-righteous @$$es, instead.

Still, probably about time the Green Lantern Corps caught up with the 18th century and discovered that not every 'strong-willed person' on planet Earth is a dude. Bring on a lady Green Lantern from Earth. As anyone who has actually met one can attest, women are not lacking for strong wills (and the odds that the five willpoweriest people on Earth would all be men seems unlikely, or perhaps an indicator that comic book writers don't know many women!)!

So, Golden Age Alan?

Yeah, pretty much, though I first read about him in JLA/JSA team-ups.

[Pharozonk]

Oh, the costume.

[Tony Stark]

When I first got into GL it was Hal. Then it became Guy, but if I truly have to pick it's Hal.

[Sodam Yat]

Aw, no Jade!? I wish she existed in the new 52. She's an awesome character.

[PyroSikTh]

I don't really have a favourite. However;

1. Kyle is the one with the least things I dislike, so I voted for him.
2. Baz has the best costume
3. Hal is pretty much THE Green Lantern
4. Guy is reasonably interesting even if I don't get on with his personality
5. John is dull and lacks anything of note or interest, other than being "The black Green Lantern"

Really though, Guy and Kyle don't really count any more as they're not Green Lanterns.

[Naked Bat]

Guy is the best Green Lantern. He's a far deeper character than what he gets credit for.

MY FAVORITE GREEN LANTERN IS BETTER THAN YOUR FAVORITE GREEN LANTERN!

(I voted for Hal, he's my favorite, but I like them all)

[TheWonderKid]

Personally I am a huge fan of Kyle Rayner, more so before he was the White Lantern but I am still interested enough to keep reading it anyhow. I do like Hal quite a bit as well. Never got behind Guy first nor last and can take or leave John Stewart.

I can’t remember where I read this exactly, but it had a break down the 4 lantern styles (this was pre Simon Baz)

Guy Gardner was aggressive in that he uses a lot of overwhelming force and simple constructs
John Stewart was an architect and, as such, his constructs were complete down to the nuts and bolts.
Kyle Rayner as a comic book artist has highly imaginative constructs that were very artistic and were often pretty wild
Hal Jordan’s constructs were exactly what was needed for the task at hand.


Can’t remember the exact wording of the descriptions, I think I got the gist of it, but I thought that it was pretty interesting all the same.

[failo.legendkiller]

1. Kyle
2. Guy
3. Hal
4. John
5. Simon

[Neowing]

John and then Kyle>Guy>Hal.

[Master Planner]

Golden age forever!

Rebirth, when they were taking down Parallax. There was also mention of Kilowog's style, in which it's the only one that makes an audible boom when it activates.
