Hal Jordan: The Green Lantern Appreciation 2024

[Frontier]

Also of note is that Hal has a new ring and charged from that new CPB, but he has no individual Lantern. I wonder if that will be the new status quo moving forward? Not that it really matters since GLs are rarely shown charging their rings anyway, and the whole "ring ran out of charge so we need to get to the battery" thing stopped being used as a source of drama a long time ago.

Maybe Adams's intent is that no matter what else is going on, Hal will have to always come back to earth to charge up. Now I wonder if the UP Lanterns might stick around so they can take the heat for whatever people's feeling are about police and the Earth Lanterns will just be their own group with their Earth Lantern to distance themselves from that and be more like an independent superhero group. (but they'll get rid of whatsisname in charge, then leave the UP Lanterns in the hands of his successor with a "we won't join you, but we'll be watching" kinda warning)

One thing I liked about the Johns era is at times it felt like they kept consistent track of how much charge the ring had.

Carol is totally going to follow him into space.

And first thing she does will be yell at him for leaving again and not even saying good bye. Followed by him trying to explain about moving on and then she kisses him. And scene

Totally reminds me of their kiss in Blackest Night .

He let her go. Realized he should respect her decisions and boundaries and let her go, while quoting Sting at the same time. I didn't think it was that terrible. Isn't that what some people have said he should've done from the get go.

Also isn't that the main cover given that it's by Xermanico.

[Frontier]

Yay !

Is that a new suit or just Xermanico's rendition of her New 52 costume?

And as a reward, this time she follows him.

Yeah but I just don’t even get why we did this plot in the first place. I don’t think it added anything and some of the issues made Hal come across as a dick which was the opposite of Adams’ aim to make him likable. Carol wasn’t dating anyone prior to this so if you wanted to put the two back together, we could’ve simply done that.

But like I said I don’t care about Hal potentially “ruining” Carol’s relationship with whatshisname, I want the two of them together.

[StarSpangledMan]

That's a gorgeous cover! And it looks like Carol is keeping the New 52 suit(?) which I love. And yeah, Frontier is right, this time Carol is making the choice and deciding that she does want Hal and his life up in the stars.

And here are the Gleb Melnikov and Keron Grant variants for GL #12, Doc Shaner variant TBD.

I’m shocked, shocked…well not that shocked

I imagine it was just a meh thing to help show Hal some cheap growth. If Adams meant for it to be more he’d of spent actual time building it to write her out. Adams seems to be more of a fixer upper type writer.

I was kind of hoping for a new suit to be honest, though it looks like they ditched the mask.

Kinda reminds me of a cover from the secret origins arc that Ivan drew.

Ahhhhh so they are filling in with black on all the scantily-clad parts of Carol's costume. Thats clever, it does look good.
