Hal Jordan Appreciation

[vartox]

The line "I need friends" sure seems to fit Hal more than it does Barry these days. It's a sad state of affairs, but it is what it is, what can you do. Hopefully better days are in the franchise's future.

It's been nice with today's issue and the previous to see that Hal and Clark are good friends even if we don't see it on panel a lot. Clark inviting Hal to come see Lois and Jon was really nice

As for the rest of today's issue there were several moments I liked, it was a nice take on Hammond. I'm a little tired of the teasing that Hal might get somewhere with his personal life sooner or later, I feel like I've been waiting 50+ issues for some of this stuff to happen...

Crazy thought of today....

Why don't the GLC film be more like "I, Spy" then Lethal Weapon?

I mean.....







Culp had Hal hair.

No jokes about Cosby & John Stewart.....unless they are funny.

[Johnny]

I'm up for that. Robert Culp indeed screams Silver Age Hal. And don't worry, you won't get any jokes about Stewart and Cosby from me. John is an actual decent human being.

Every now and then Venditti does seem to have a good understanding of Hal's character.

Venditti, just when I thought you couldn't possibly be any more dumber, you go and do something like this...

No, I know. I was trying to be clever. This was like getting a moped ride to Aspen. It'll get you where you wanna go, but...

Yeah, she's gonna be a weakness and source of torment that Hal has to try and overcome in order to do his job.

ah ok. so same as before.

It would be really nice if that wasn't the case! I have learned not to get my hopes up too much in regards to this book because the things I want to happen rarely happen. This issue and a couple other issues (like the one with ghost Martin) have reminded me of the things I wish this book was doing that it has NOT been doing, now it would be nice to actually see some of them in action.

Hal's great with kids, so him and Jon sharing some panel time would be great.

it can get frustrating sometimes. but what can a single fan do? sigh.

The problem is too many characters in one book. To get this moment with Hal it had to be at the exclusion of everyone else, like the issue where he saw his father. Even the Corps is diminished to a speaking cameo at best for Kilowog, and whoever happens to be the focus for that arc getting more than that. At least one Earth Lantern could be shifted to Justice League, with Simon and Jess sticking to Green Lanterns.

I'm buying the book, and Green Lanterns, but I'm not sure what else I can do. Do overseas sales figures contribute to the success of a title?

[AngryComicBookNerd]

ah ok. so same as before.

Just to be clear, that was only my guess. And I'm a miserable cynic so I may or may not be a tad off the mark.
