    Same here. I was starting to considering dropping this title but that last issue has my interest again. So I'm going to stick around for a bit and see how things go.

    I imagine maybe it's because his uniform is a construct and when he loses his power, his clothes just reappear? Granted, the others just got new outfits that still resemble their supersuits, but in the other image he's wearing a flightsuit underneath, so maybe he'll end up using his piloting skills. And also yes - I think they knew he'd be recognizable in his jacket.

    Now that Hal is off earth and dealing with the orp and United planets the book is better. Then if Absolute Power infects the book maybe we can keep the flow going.

    Man, what is up with Hals mask in those pages? Does editorial just never look out for such things? (at least the boots are green...)

    I appreciate the Shark/King Shark joke though.(despite King Shark's comment, Hal did notice he wasn't The Shark once he was able to get a good look)

    I did not notice the flight suit underneath.

    I would have like if he kept his mask on, just for the reason that it looks cool.

    <-- Um yes - I also think Hal in civvies with his mask looks cool

    Although if we're still holding on to the idea that Hal wears a mask to protect his "secret identity" then wearing his regular clothes and jacket with his name on it plus the mask might give something away. The GL symbol drawn on is I guess less of one - any regular person might do that. Actually, it'd be kinda cool if he had a GL patch put on his jacket - considering GL's long history with Ferris Air, it'd be easy for Hal to just say he's a fan.(as are millions of folks in Coast City)

    He does need to improve his civilian wardrobe but bomber jacket and baggy pants would be a heck of combination.

    But then they'd be depriving fans of their piece of Hal cake. Fans want Hal in tight pants

    And in honor of the upcoming "Absolute Power" which will see Hal going into action in his civvies:

    Should be interesting. Hal is former Airforce so he’s at the very least have some form of combat training

    Probably moreso being a member of the GLC. They rarely show anyone going through the training or just kinda gloss over it, but being able to take care of yourself without relying on the ring is a big part of it. (that and Hal's just kinda nuts)

    This reminds me of that training sequence in the Reynolds movie. Or First Flight with the "Training Day" dynamic.
