I would take his opinion a bit more seriously if he didn't declare every single title a steaming pile of crap except Red Hood. You can figure out DT tastes from that.

Read the Green Lantern Darkseid War issue to find out where Hal is. It's also one of the best Green Lantern comics ever written

And while a good story, the religious themes were a bit too into the nose for my taste and ignoring Hal's time as Parallax (despite fitting perfectly with the themes of the story) was a huge missed opportunity.

Finally sat down and read Wonder Woman: Earth One. Not my favourite version of the story, and it has the usual problems I have with Morrison, especially when he's done DC stuff in the last decade or so, where anything after the point Grant determines is the 'true' version of the character is discarded and sneered at, plus his usual sloppy pacing where I feel like Paquette only received the even numbered script pages at points, there's so much skipped and glossed over. Also, I'd honestly rather they just forget the clay origin if he and Azzarello are just going to 'honour' it by mockery. (I adore the Perez run, but Morrison's made it very clear he considers anything after the Marstons to be pale shadows.) One constant in the recent retellings, though, is that Etta Candy is frickin' awesome, just this plus-size gal who owns herself and any room she enters.

I dunno if he's making GBS threads on the other runs by just not acknowledging them in the little space he had. Trevor and his superiors at the hospital was really similar to Perez's, but maybe it's all basically the same as the original

All the Paradise Island stuff is stuff that has been downplayed since the Silver Age. And the whole 'clay? That was a children's fairy tale!' thing is way too dismissive and similar to the Azzarello thing to sit well with me as someone who really likes that version, especially for the whole feminist concept of Diana being parented only by her mother. De Liz's version had a much better take on that, and even had a corollary to allow for Amazon kids. I'm also not entirely sure what the point of that one girl who was apparently Diana's ex was. There's so little development given to anyone who's not Diana, Steve, Etta or Hippolyta that I'm not sure the spurned lover angle added anything.

I think she had just enough character for the length of the book. Giving someone motivation for chasing after Diana other than it just being a bunch of soldiers with an order. It also added a fun beat for Candy. Is this the first time that a serious sexual relationship between Amazons has ever been directly stated? I have no idea, but if so, even if it wasn't given any time, that's probably a good thing.

I believe Rucka had a pair of supporting characters in a relationship, and Perez certainly implied that same-sex romantic and sexual relationships happened.

There was at least one explicitly romantic couple in Perez's run and Hippolyte implies lesbian relationships are fairly common among the Amazons.

-Superman without red boots looks weird as hell -WW is great and is obviously inspired by Gadot's costume -Batman is basically the same -Jessica is just an standard GL uniform. I wish they would ditch the eye symbol, is stupid looking. -Aquaman's differences are minimal as well.

I kinda liked Jessica Cruz's old costume better. I mean, she's still gonna be using the evil Power Ring ring, right, so why is she reppin the GL Corps? I guess I just liked the other logo is all. Her new costume just looks too plain, like she consulted Hal Jordan on how to make the most generic Green Lantern costume possible then added an eye-lantern for one solitary point of differentiation.
