Hal Jordan Appreciation

[Buried Alien]

I've never actually read it.

Get the TPB; you won't regret it.

This thread needs more Gil Kane!

Perhaps the most misunderstood version of Hal Jordan ever... Frank Miller's?!?!





A weirdly fitting end to Hal; so powerful he no longer needs his ring to work.

[Pharozonk]

I can't see what you posted.

[Mr. Mastermind]

It was scans of The Dark Knight Strikes Again, and I can't seem to find any good ones from anywhere else.

Well, I still enjoy that version of Hal for all his weirdness.

I'm presuming it was from amongst these pages:

Hmm I never read that out of distaste for Frank Miller.

Does that mean Hal is so powerful that he can literally crush the Earth in the palm of his hand? Or is that picture purely allegorical?

[LoneNecromancer]

And yes, it's a terrific future-interpretation.

As someone whose mentality is based around the freedom to do as he will, the idea he needs the Corps to direct his will could only ever be a temporary one that he would outgrow. And he does, and outgrows even the ring itself, becoming the literal personification of Willpower and more a kind of space hermit/wizard than the space cop/soldier role the GLC usually has.

IIRC he shrinks the Earth and crushes Luthor's army.

Hal's pretty much the only 100% good character in that book and the easily the most powerful. It's kinda awesome how he just casually saves the day.

Wipes out Luthor's satellite weapons that he was planning to use to cut down the Earth's population to a single billion, too. He pretty much foils the entire plan in the end and doesn't even stick around.

And Barry probably counts as well with regards to 100% good, he's the one constantly calling Bruce on being a dick.

I was going to do another bombardment of Hal hanging out with Sinestro fanart, but something struck me. Obviously, if I say "who's your favourite Hal villain" it'll be swamped with answers of Sinestro, so who's your favourite Hal villain not including Sinestro?

The Crumbler!!!!


Just kidding.

[Tony Stark]

Did someone mention Batman?

I loved that scene. Bruce gets him back in issue #9, but still.

[Tony Stark]

I've never actually read it.

Me either. Definitely on the list now though.

The Crumbler!!!!


Just kidding.

What a great villain. Has the power to break down things at an atomic level. Does he call himself something like the Destroyer? No. Crumbler. That works.
