I bought it too...I love the character and I hate that he pretty much
got the shaft when they decided to bring back Hal

I knew I wasn't the only one completely unhappy about Hal returning.
Note that Stewart got the boot from JLA just so Hal could return to the
team? At least Ollie and Barry won't be there. And Carter, for that
matter. Moving forward is a good thing - at least if done properly.
Moving back? Well, for years I wanted Claremont and Magik back. Now
that I've got them I wish I didn't.

I agree...I prefer to see them move forward...that doesn't mean they
can't revisit old characters and stories, just that they need to find
new and interesting ways of doing so rather than just resetting the
old status quo...which seems to be what DC is all about since OYL
started...it's annoying the *** out of me...of course, Marvel is so
focused on moving forward that they're shitting all over all their
characters and universe...so I guess there's no winning either way.


(even though his GL
book was really good (at least until Winick left)...now this mediocre
"Ion" series is probably the last starring role he'll get...assuming
he doesn't get killed off, he'll probably be stuck with occasional
guest star status or possibly membership in some team (which can't
even be the Justice League because Hal got stuck back in there
too)...it sucks...Hal should have stayed dead...it's not like he was
ever really gone anyway.
