If his jet is such a perfect design why can't it survive walking shark attacks?

"You know, for another $4.98 we can make it sharkproof"

"It's a PLANE! What are the odds we'd need that. Save the money and spend it on one of those nice pine-scented little tree things for the cockpit.

Seems like Hal's still pretty fearless! :D
Perhaps more so that what his on-going has ever show him lately...

You could have had Carol go to Mach 4 and have the g-forces reduce King Shark to putty. It would have saved time, both plans and billions of dollars.

That's what I thought was going to happen, leaving Hal to do hero stuff on his own.

This was worse than predictable, it was a let down. I actually wanted my money back from the comic book store after I read it in my car.

Sigh . . . I really wish Kyle or John (or better yet both) was (were) the prominent green lantern(s) instead of Hal

On a less negative and depressing note, I DO like how King Shark looks

I bet superweapons manufacturer Oliver Queen and jet jockey Hal Jordan have very different, possibly less blatant, team-ups.

(Especially if #3's solicitis any indication.)

Hey kids, look it's King Shark at the circus.
And now King Shark is attempting to kill two F22s in one ocean leap.

The silly fish.

Don't get me wrong, I love Hal Jordan. However, this bit is just trying a little too hard to make him seem cool and fearless. There are at least half a dozen ways that could have ended that would have actually been pretty awesome.

This makes no sense.

My suspension of disbelief is totally broken by this.

You know, given the chance to hit a flying man-shark head on with a jet...I don't think I could pass that up. That's a once in a lifetime opportunity.

I know there were probably plenty of ways to shake off King Shark without destroying two top-of-the-line jets, but that was so effing awesome I don't really care

Hal Jordon as a daring fighter pilot is actually the only time I've ever found him to be half-way potentially interesting. Apart from the weird logic in this scene, I'd be interested to see more!

If I may be forgiven a rant, I remember when Guy Gardener's alpha-male-ism was seen as comedically douchey, rather than a template for the new, improved, "no-Guardian-I'll-tell-YOU-how-to-run-things" Hal 'Smug' Jerk-dan. I know Geoff is trying REALLY, REALLY, REALLY hard to make Hal a star, but by Crom he comes off as such a twat! As much as I disliked DC killing him off and replacing him with a younger, prettier, fridgier model, killing his fellow corpsmen because they said 'no' to his temper tantrum seems totally in-character for the version of Hal Johns is writing, no Parallax necessary. Did that experience teach him a damn thing about keeping himself in check? No, cuz he's always right, 'cuz Real American Heroes™ are also always right.

Sinestro's retcon has been great; Hal's, not so much. After re-reading some old Kane, Grell and Staton stuff (stories fair-to-middling, but they feel less plotted-by-marketing-majors than current DC product), I liked him better when he was an aimless screwup driving a truck and hanging with Arissa and that mini-Starro thing that sat on his shoulder, instead of the guy who sucker-punched Batman and put him in his place. But aimless truckers don't sell books, so maybe Hal can kick Bane and Mongul's respective asses next, sans-ring of course 'cuz he's just that awesome these days.

As the godawful, 'goddam' All-Star Batman put it, "I've seen more intelligent hockey pucks. The clown makes oversized EGGBEATERS and MOUSE TRAPS and VACUUM CLEANERS -- when he could set the whole world right with that RING. What a damn IDIOT." Motto, Brucie. Motto.

The physics of this scenario are so blatantly in the wrong that it's almost an achievement that they managed it. I mean, where to start?

Apparently the cockpits of these fighters is made of some magic material that can handle wind resistance at Mach 4 and depressurization at 20,000 feet, but can allow someone to hear someone talking through it over the roar of the wind at those same conditions. King Shark apparently is so good that he can ambush a vehicle that is travelling at supersonic speeds (for those in the audience, a normal F-22 can regularly achieve Mach 1.2-1.5 without using afterburners....that's 768+ mph) without being torn to shreds on impact and without being flayed alive while hanging on. And how anyone or anything survived that impact without a scratch and managed to gracefully descend (not to mention they're so close in the last panel their parachutes should be entangled and them plummeting to their deaths) is beyond me.

I mean, this scene doesn't even try to deal with suspension-of-disbelief. It's Silver Age Level silly, while trying to pretend it's not.

Also, apparently Hal Jordan is a dick with or without a power ring.

Judging by the shape of the speech balloons I was assuming that it was something akin to projected telepathy rather than speech.
