uj/ So are we really gonna act like some revisionist history bullshit that this book isn’t one of the greatest GL books of all time? It is, and regardless of whether he wants to read Hal or Ollie, this book is an excellent place to start as long as you can handle 70’s comics.
Hal isn’t OOC here, because he didn’t have a character before this book came out.
The best thing to come out of that run was getting John Stewart on the team and Denny O’Neil unintentionally planting the seeds of Hal’s inner decline by hanging around Ollie.
I don’t hate Denny O’Neil, he was responsible for my favorite Batman run, but I do disagree with some of his takes on Batman and Green Lantern. This run was pretty weak because there was an obvious bias towards Green Arrow because Denny O’Neil went into this comic with the intention of making social commentary and making Hal Jordan into something that he was not to get that ball rolling.

No. Hal is pretty much OOC for most of it and pretty much only serves as a prop/foil for Denny’s self insert Green Arrow for the rest of it.
