Basically a run down of what events actually happened and why for certain characters. Green Lantern #4 spoilers I guess.

Alan and Hal drawn by Reis is the ideal dream now that that adventure drawn by George Perez seems unlikely. That might be my favorite image from my favorite GL artists entire run.

So I guess now Alan just has to team-up with Jessica, Simon...Joe...Keli....

And every other Lantern, right DC? Right? More Alan, please.

Alan to every other human GL: You kids need to either step up or step out!

Alan to John Stewart: We cool.

was reading a thread about Didio era and something occurred to me. IF DC is planning a big reboot in the next three years, could the current GL writer be being set up to fail? As much as I was not a fan of the Kyle era, except for Darryl Banks and the armor and a few fresh rogues; during its' last two years something happened to the book. Kyle was exiled to space and taken away from all the things that made Kyle special by the people who loved the character. Nothing memorable happened and then REBIRTH. I understand wanting a big change to hit with a splash and not wanting people bemoaning the old when you drop in with the new. Hal's return was big but it didn't seem like there was much pushback from the Kyle crew because in fact they were glad he wasn't turned psycho or killed off, but also the Kyle of the last couple of years wasn't Kyle anyway. Now DC is once again getting rid of the corps and lots of things that fans of the franchise love about the franchise some for editorial (re not the writers idea) reasons. Is he being set up to fail, like a transition champion in pro wrestling? Only for the big splash of someone bringing back all the things you love about Green Lantern the corps, your favorite characters returned to GL status. It just feels like I have seen this movie before with this franchise. Hal gives up the ring for about a year and John is the main GL with a little Guy on the side during crisis and the BOOM a team book with all your favorite GL's together. Or Kyle exiled to space in a Jim Lee suit and no memorable stories for about a year and then bam REBIRTH or even how nothing of note was going on in Gerard Jones' Green Lantern with Hal after the Third Law around issue #35 until on issue #47 Emerald Twilight. I don't know how John fans feel but I didn't care for Hal without the ring era pre Crisis or as the Specter or just Hal Jordan pilot in Flashpoint. Yes GL's are more than just their rings but the rings are major part of what makes the franchise enjoyable.
