A brief story about Geoff Johns and Green Lantern: I started reading comics in 2001. When I started reading, Hal Jordan was the Spectre and Kyle Rayner was Green Lantern. "MY" Green Lantern. So when I heard some guy named Geoff Johns was bringing back Hal Jordan I thought, "What the fuck?! KYLE is Green Lantern! Not this 'Hal' chump!"
So I bought Green Lantern: Rebirth because it was kind of an event, and I was curious. I didn't know anything about Hal Jordan or why it was so awesome that he was coming back. Until Page 22 of issue #4. In that one page (rendered beautifully by Ethan van Sciver, Prentis Rollins and Moose Baumann), Hal Jordan became MY favorite hero, and I knew why he was always referred to as "the greatest Green Lantern." Geoff Johns hooked me and I've never looked back. -Gint
Ps. I only had that dream once.
