Hal Jordan Appreciation

[Güicho]

Ohhh we got the thread to page #666.

Let's close out Hal Jordan 666 celebration with this image...



And bring in page 667!

Plus we got a post #10,000 coming up, somebody make it count!

I feel like we're due a good Hal vs. Atrocitus rematch soon...

[vartox]

All good questions. This was a strange time in the DCU if I recall. I don't think that's Oliver next to Flash. He was replaced by a younger version. Would've been more heartbreaking if it was Barry but he was in the midst of his 11 year hiatus at the time.

Yes, that's John. And probably Guy too. At the time, Kyle was the only GL. Guy was... something else. He had the yellow ring for a while. Then that whole warrior thing. So I'm not sure.

Yep, that's Connor Hawke next to Flash, Ollie was dead by this point. Barry was also dead, so neither of Hal's BFFs were alive for his funeral

Guy had used a yellow Qwardian ring he'd stolen off Sinestro's corpse after GL #25, but after Emerald Twilight only Kyle was allowed to have a ring so Guy got shapeshifting powers instead and went around as Warrior.

I just noticed Captain Atom is saluting Hal. That's kind of cool .

I never noticed that before, that's a nice detail!

^^ Well, apparently the Marvel/DC crossover is happening sooner than we thought!

I don't care about post #10000 by the way. lol

Yep, the original cover clearly tells you this guy is off his rocker. While Ivan Reis deliberately made the character look a bit more cartoony than menacing in his reiteration, since Hal wasn't a bad guy anymore and he had just put a yellow ring on. I liked the explanation that he could use the ring and resist its influence due to his prior exposure to the yellow impurity.

With the way Ivan drew Hal (who looks like he's having fun), I could easily see our hero jokingly putting those rings on in front of Barry, Oliver, & Bruce.

Oliver might laugh.

Barry might gasp.

Bruce would throw a fit.

"I'll never understand what happened?" seriously Batman? You're whole thing is being tempted to cross the line into darkness. And you don't understand?

Bruce carried a serious thing for Hal during the Parallax years.

I sometime think Bruce's "thing" for Hal's corruption might be an example of emotional immaturity. He's like a child who can't cope with change.

It was weird when it seemed that Hal carried some sort of thing for Bruce after the first Rebirth.

Perhaps that was due to the two of them being the hottest properties at DC during that time, and Johns wanted to capitalize on that.

Probably someone will use it to post some goofy Hal fail gif....

I would not mind if the patriotic, military JL (Atom, Hal, John Stewart, etc.) members had a team-up.

Throw in Oliver as the wild card on that adventure.

Add Skyrocket!

I remember an old CBR article that showed how often Hal would bump his head.

Hal's not a playa...he just crashes...a lot.

Now I have Jim Ross yelling in my head: Oh My Gawd, he's opening up can of whoop ass on GL!!!
