I think it's too early to tell if I like Simon or not. I do think is uniform is cool, though.

Am I the only GL fan that doesn't hate Johns' run? I mean, there are some things that I don't like, but honestly I've been reading since Blackest Night and I love it for the most part. Even a prominent GL message board has nothing but hate for it. Makes me wonder why anyone that feels this way would continue to read, unless they're masochists.

For the most part, I find that almost all comics sound the same, writers to me is nothing. It is all about art, and the colour and art of GL is simply amazing.

You seriously think THAT's the reason we have a problem with this?

... so that makes it okay?

And the publishers are banking on this... that's why they put the bait out there to them in the first place. You want to know where it all starts... there's your answer...

Again, WHO'S COMPLAINING ABOUT HIS ETHNICITY?!?! We're tired of comic book publishers making too big a deal about things like this when they're done!!! Make the character, write good stories about them or including them, and stop trying to break your arm patting yourself on the back!!!

I'm gonna say it again... if you go up against something you can't handle with your power ring, what the hell kind of good is a pistol gonna do?

You're not alone in really enjoying Johns' GL run. He can do little wrong in my eyes since he restored Hal Jordan to the role of GL along with the GL mythos.

That said, I am tiring of the fact that it seems DC doesn't know what to do with Hal Jordan, which I know is not Johns' fault. I trust that the recent stuff with the "deaths" of Hal and Sinestro and Baz will lead to something excellent, which apparently is coming next year and will be bigger than "The Third Army."
