More Guy Stuff
So...over in the current Green Lantern books, Hal has once again hung poor Guy out to dry, by sending him in undercover to see what the Red Lanterns were up to, and then by not getting him out, when Guy asked him. Of course, the demise of the Blue Lanterns may have something to do with that, but still...! It's just one more episode in the very long pattern of Hal screwing Guy over.
Which is why they used to fight. A lot.
Here, we have Guy who has just woken up for a VERY long nap, i.e. the coma that he fell into, mainly because of Hal. Well, Sinestro had a lot to do with it too, but still! Guy wakes up a much changed and much crankier man, and he wants to find Abin Sur's ring. Naturally, Hal is miffed.
Of course, running off with Guy's fiancee about five minutes after he "died" is probably only one of the reasons that Guy finds Hal to be insupportable.
But anyway...
This is what brought the whole thing crashing down in the first place, when Hal roped Guy in, to cover for him, while he waltzed off to Oa, to see why his ring was acting strangely. Turns out that it was the Battery...and poor Guy got blowed up the second time he used it! Thanks Hal!
But that's all water under the bridge now. And Hal and Guy have managed to overcome their differences and become...cautious...friends. Which is why I would imagine Guy is so unhappy with what Hal has done to him with the whole Red Lantern thing. Especially since it was all so unnecessary!
Incidentally, Guy doesn't get Abin Sur's ring. He gets a nice Guardian to come and take him to Oa and give him his OWN ring! With Hal tagging along and bitching the entire way.

I always liked that Guy could call Hal on his mistakes when no one else would. Even if no one else supported him.
But everyone just loooooooved Hal! A lot of times, Guy was actually right about things, but he was so personally obnoxious, that nobody listened.
So was Hal, but he got away with it because he was charming.
