I'm eventually going to write my own Hal Jordan essay, but now I know I'll have a lot to live up to, to match this one.<br /><br />On a related note, I hope you don't mind, but based on this essay and your Identity Crisis research (and yours posts on TrekBBS), I posted a link to this blog on the new Comics Nexus site (comicsnexus.com)in their forums. You've really got some of the most insightful, well researched views on comics. Hopefully it'll send a few readers your way (I also post a few other places, like Geoff Johns MB, so if you don't mind, I'll put your link in a post over there too).<br /><br />I look forward to reading your posts and am usually blown away by the passion you have for your topics, which is clear to readers.Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07031148703359970944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629130.post-1092833023671914742004-08-18T08:43:00.000-04:002004-08-18T08:43:00.000-04:00Easy explanation.

Ignoring whether Kyle is a greatest character since Hamlet, or just sux, Hal Jordon has been poisoned. Short of murding children, he commited the worse acts of evil a human can commit. He's a traitor. A mutineer who murdered his friends and colleagues.<br />How can you rectify this? Beause he moped around as a ghost? I can't see how on ressurection, he would not be immediately be taken into custody and tried by the Guardians and punished. How can they call themselves just if they don't?<br /><br />All other details like Kyle, John, Guy and the reformation of the Corps can be dealt with, with a little brain work, but Jordan? I liked him, but he's a lost cause.Captain Qwert Jrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13159353949426435311noreply@blogger.com
