Guy is probably the most stable and competent human green lantern. Think about that.

Never forget that Guy Gardner was a kind, caring teacher before meeting Hal Jordan and his current personality is (or at least was, I'm not exactly up on my GL continuity because gently caress Geoff Johns) because of severe brain damage, largely caused by Hal Jordan.

To sign the checks.



I always forget whether Hal's identity is secret or not. So was he upset about signing it Green Lantern because they wouldn't honor the check, or because it would out him as the Green Lantern? Because if the latter.... he's still signed Green Lantern a dozen times or more on the check before finally managing to scrawl his own name :xd:

Why, yes, I do like Kirby games.
How many superheroes are there that go by their super identity? I mean, I figure Johnny Storm at least can sign checks as 'The Human Torch', but there must be other examples.

The Vision has occasionally had hologram civilian IDs but most of the time he's just a robot with a dumb red face, even when he goes grocery shopping.

I really hope the rest of this issue is just the ring hitting up bars, partying with some frat boys, maybe playing some frolf, enjoying the sunrise, then silently slipping back on Hal's finger just before he wakes up.

A multi month part of the Clone Saga took place in a court room and Peter intended to resolve things by revealing the existence of his clones.

That reminds me of that great astro city issue where some attorney who's representing the mob wins an unwinnable case by bringing up poo poo like mind control, clones and resurrection.

All those panels about Hal being dumb is awesome. That's the dude smarter than Batman on What Powers Are Not Worth Having. It's why he gave up being God, and Bruce is (presumably) still in the chair. I mean, I get that Batman is jealous of GLs and Hal specifically, but still...

Relevant to the current discussion, does anyone have that panel of Bruce freaking out on a girlfriend (I think) because, being Bruce (paranoid, crazy, fear-fueled), he's convinced that she's a robot, or allied with a criminal organization, or something along that lines?

If I'm thinking about the same panel it is Silver St. Cloud. He apologizes afterwards, whole thing reads like like an abusive relationship.

The whole thing is even worse than these few pages. Kevin Smith spends the entire story setting up Silver as Bruce's perfect Manic Pixie Dream Girl, and then she gets horribly murdered on the last page. It's got to be one of the worst examples of a Women in a Refrigerator ever.

At one point he planned on writing a followup to it, but that was like six years ago so who knows.
