Wasn't Guy Gardener supposed to be Hal's first successor? Did something happen to him here to disqualify him from Green Lanternship?

Always wanted to read some John, though. Never got a good handle on him as a Lantern.

Why did he resign anyways?
And I like how everyone has an issue about this XD Makes it realistic, but not overdone.

Hal looks like Rags Morales drew him.

Also, Major Disaster is great.

Ah, GL(s) of this era were all win in my book.

I do have a GL-related request if anyone out there is listening. Does anyone have DC Comics Presents 26 with GL/Superman? It's the first appearance of the New Teen Titans so really hard to get, though it was reprinted in B & W for Showcase. Anyway, I am really interested in scans of Archon Z'gmora, a GL who dies in that issue. He's probably only on one page, but I haven't been able to track down this issue for a reasonable price. Thanks.

Thanks a lot! John Stewart's return as GL is quite interesting, and it's great to see some standard DCU Gibbons work - although the Guardian's heads aren't all that greatly shaped. (also, Hal's look on page 3, panel 2? I swear I've seen it at least thrice in Watchmen.) =P

Anyway, thanks again; does Hal return to being Green Lantern later in the run or did John take over for a good while?

I suppose in present continuity, " where I know you from " could be interpreted as " that barfight we had once back when we were both still serving "

I love Dave Gibbons, and the art here is great. That said, the Guardians look like a bunch of little blue light bulbs.

I just love Hal's dramatic statement.

"Oh...my...god... It's STEWART!"

John Stewart - a man who looooooves his cereal.
I wonder if that 'everyone as GL' bit is a tribute to to the similar situation Bullseye finds himself in in 'Daredevil', or whether it's the other way round? Either way, it's a great sequence.

Things which are hilarious: Hal Jordan ignoring his girlfriend in favor of his manpain. "Dammit, Carol, will you stop rubbing my shoulders suggestively? I'm trying to frame myself dramatically against a background of stars here!" Carol sighs and heads off to the kitchen to open another bottle of wine, wondering whether breaking out the Star Sapphire outfit or yelling that Hal's a capitalistic flunky of the fascist corporate fatcats would give her a better chance of getting laid tonight.

Huh- I don't think I knew John didn't know Hal's secret identity straight from the start. When did he find out, then?

I wouldn't be surprised if Gibbons didn't take that "everybody's a Green Lantern" street scene directly from Frank Miller's similar scene very early on in his Daredevil run, where Bullseye's hallucinating the same. Also, it's worth comparing this to Gibbons' work on Watchmen, where Moore really opened him up to some of the things that he was capable of, but are only hinted at here.
