Oh Hal...Never Change
Enough of reviews and solemn social commentary! Time to get back to my bread and butter...which consists of mocking Hal Jordan. You have to give it to Hal...sometimes he just makes it SO easy.
Remember back before the original Crisis, when Hal was busy merrily burning his bridges both with the Guardians and his friends? He wanted to be with Carol, who had given him the usual ultimatum, and since he was fresh from being out in exile in space with poor Dorine, he was hornier than usual, and acceeded to Carol's demands. Of course the minute that he gave up his ring, he began to regret it, but that's just Hal. What he doesn't have, is what he wants the most.
Then to replace him, the Guardians appointed John Stewart, and then during the Crisis, the renegade Guardians brought back Guy Gardner. Hal was simply beside himself. But not to worry, because now he has his ring back, and everything is simply FABULOUS!!!
Well, a couple of his friends died, not to mention the Universe, but Hey! Hal's got his ring! Let's turn those frowns upside-down!
And he never ever tried to quit again, having learned his lesson.

That's right! And besides, those Green Lantern uniforms show off his physique SO well. GUARANTEED to attract women. ;-)
Hey Hal, guess what? Barry's dead.
I like how intently Arisia is staring at Hal's ass there, too. And do none of them fly with their legs closed? Ever? I guess it makes sense given that they're used to fighting in zero-gravity environments where they have to be ready to move in any direction at any time (or to float or hover or backflip or whatnot), but it's funny when you realize how many spraddle-legged crotch-and-butt pictures one single issue of Green Lantern can give us.
If Joe Staton sneaked some eros in there to gratify some readers, power to him. Me, I just think he's a great GL artist.
Joe Staton IS a great artist. More, he's a FUN artist.
Yeah, there was that little thing with Barry, not to mention Carol still being nutso as Star Sapphire, but Hal tries not to let that sort of thing bring him down.
Hal really was awfully shallow at this stage in his development. But he DOES look damned good in that uniform.
