All 4 big GL trades by Johns are getting new printings, might be a sign that fifth volume is coming? And mayyybe they'll actually complete his entire run in this format?

I like seeing stuff like this because it reassures me that it'll always be in DC's interest to keep Hal around ... and as a hero.
I’m surprised when people think that’s not true. Long as Johns GL run remains the definitive GL run you never need worry over Hal being sidelined for long or turned evil. Their recent attempt at adapting Emerald Twilight flopped and Hal is showing up in the DCU. GL has fallen hard from the peak era of Johns, but there’s still interest in the franchise. All it needs is a good adaption.
Plus you can take a look at what sales data we have, Hal is the best selling non-Trinity member.

Yeah I think Beware My Power didn't really do that well so its attempt at promoting John at the expense of Hal wound up backfiring considering how the "he's evil" twist turned out so poorly received especially in criticism with the Tommorowverse's pulling the exact same plot-twist over at Legion of Superheroes.
Man, I completely mind wiped BMP from my memory, thank god these Tommorow-verse films haven't lit the world on fire.

I got the first 3 volumes of those.
Glorious stuff, the Sinestro Corps War was a baller nonstop ride from start to finish. Ivan Reis is Goddamn immaculate.
The fact that someone like Jim Krieg is involved in this is baffling to me given that he previously helped produce the best version of Hal outside of comics.
What was the point when that piece of garbage flopped. There's nothing more amateurish than dumping on one legacy character to prop up another. When did they ever treat another GL like this in order to promote Hal before. They never publicly sabotaged anyone else and made them unusable for Hal's sake. Yet they did it to him just so he won't be a "threat"? Imbeciles.
