Have you read Omega Men? It's a 12 issue series from the same writer and much better than the Darkseid War tie-in

I love that issue so much, best Hal story in years. Also probably the best thing to come out of Darkseid War

I liked the Shazam one shot too

Yeah that one was great, also liked the Shazam oneshot.

It's a shame they didn't give King a GL book. Not impressed with Batman so far, I think he'd do a better job with GL.

Eh, I'll see how the first arc goes.
He seems to be good at telling solid stories in single issues, but I'm guessing he has another plan for Batman, hence the slow start.

Nah I got a mountain of GL REBELS and Marvel Cosmic that says otherwise.

Just there is always something near the beginning that rubs me the wrong way that set me to judge negatively the rest like a terrible first impression.
Like how in Omega Men kyle gives up his ring for some reason, and then gets kidnapped, and the whole time we are tried to be convinced this asshole team is in the right.
Especially at the end when it is revealed they're even bigger shits than the bad guys they replaced.

they aren't trying to convince you that the Omega Men are right, they're trying to convince you that they're the lesser of two evils

what didn't you like about the GL one shot?

He had to give it up. That section had always been off limits to Lanterns. It made perfect sense.

Also you're not really supposed to think the Omega Men are good people. King made that clear when they blew up a planet when Kyle was trying to negotiate peace.

But Vega System has been open to GLC since 2008 when the pact with Larfleeze broke.
The Vega System even had lantern members before reboot.

And despite Kyle time and time again the Omega Men betraying his trust (especially after blowing up that planet) Kyle stuck around and kept fighting front lines for their war.

Yeah but work off what is set up for the character.

I mean he's been a GL for years, faces entities and Aliens thinking they're Gods and New Gods and he was even the Wrath of God.
Work with that "the Corps has stood up against holier-than-thou Gods, and WON" confidence.
Why not that angle?

Isn't that what he did? The Corps stood up to the motherbox but Hal was the one who had the experience and the confidence to deal with godhood

the stuff about his childhood was to elaborate on his world view

Call in help from the Star Sapphires, or those White Lantern recruits who were set up before New Guardians was cancelled.
Hell white lanterns have been shown strong enough to fight fucking source wall monsters, why not just put everyone in a indestructible forcefield and force them peaceful negotiations.

Ya know, instead of continuing to be manipulated by some bitch princess who wanted her sword to taste the church dude's blood.

Hals father was a test pilot for Ferris Airs way back when Carol's Dad ran the place.
During some flight test or flight show, the plane fucked up and crashed, Hal dad died.

But Hal stilled loved his dad and his awesome fearless ways and went on to join the army and be a pilot just like his pops, eventually becoming a test pilot for Ferris Airs too.
