Yeah Ion...Ion Ion Ion...where did it come from? Am I the only one who thinks his mask (?) is a cheap "Sapce cooolness" rip off of Donna and Marvel's Captain Marvel III costume? It looks wierd.
Hell, if they had to make him Ion, his first Ion costume was cool enough. But I think they should stop trying to make him so wierdly special and make him like he was pre-Hal's return. A funny, young artist who jokes a bit like Spidey when battling villians and has interesting constructs. Right now it's like the new writers suddenly forgot all of his older characteristics and are just running with the "Rookie GL" thing.

Well... I personally think they should give Jon Stewart a power ring!

I agree, Anarky; they seem to think that just because Hal's back, they have to transform Kyle into something else to be his own character. Thye don't seem to get that he was already unique.

No kidding! A Green Lantern that was chosen randomly, without regard to his fear. He performed incredibly! He rebuilt OA... resurrected the Guardians, rebuilt the Corps, made it possible for Hal Jordan & Kilowog to be reborn and then was 'officially' (although if you ask me he should be standing on the raised dais as a Guardian of the Universe) accepted into the Corps.
Kyle Rayner is getting the shaft.
But the Guardians keep referring to a grand 'plan' for him. Maybe his powers as ION are just that... a step toward Guardian-hood.

That'd be an interesting direction...The first human (right?) to be made into a guardian? Wait no, John was Guardian level right? I read that somewhere...
Either way, I hope they don't screw Kyle by taking him into a bad direction. Well have to see what his "Greatness" is by the end of Ion. Maybe he can be a special GL and he'll be similar to Jade. Not needing a ring to use his powers (like when he was originally Ion).

John ate his ring, granting him "Guardianship"... But that... I think has been retconned, because what's her name, Clevage Lantern... She did the same in GLC:R...

Let me guess...was this is a silver age story? Because then I don't see why none of the other lanterns followed John's way and ate their ring. And how did the Guardians agree to that?
"John Stewart. Due to your incompetence, clearly seen by you accidentally placing your GL ring into a McMuffin, you now have the power to be just as cool as us. Stay in the club for 5 years, and you hit Gold status, when your hair turns white. Stay for ten years, and your skin will turn blue. Coolest part ever: Stay on for 15 years and sell 100 "Guardians rock my world" stickers, and you can be a midget like us. Eat your heart out Logan and Puck!"
Or am I being dramatic?
Anyway, I guess the point was I agree with you, since Dr Breasts--Soranik did the trick, it must be different now.
But then again one has to wonder...she didn't swallow it...she kinda just kept it internalized...maybe you have to actually digest it...

Hal Jordan all the way for me! He's the one I grew up with he's the one I'll read. I never have liked when the Big Guys tried to put someone else in the established heroes costume as a cheap marketing ploy!! Though I have liked the New Atom so far. ( costume sucks! Character is interesting!) ;D

I put Kyle Rayner. Nothing personal towards Hal Jordan, it's just I think that Ion may be, dare I say it, a better-er GL than Hal Jordan

You'd be wrong, Kyle is in no way "better" than Hal. Hal is a better Green Lantern in terms of being a member of the Green Lantern Corps (asside from that whole "slaughter" thing) but that is why people like Kyle because he made so many mistakes and because he didnt know the way to go about being a hero. Think about what was first on his agenda when he got the ring, showing it off to get back with his girlfreind then making a good public appearance, then changing up his costume to look cooler! Hal was all about heroics but Kyle wasn't and that is why I prefer him to Hal.

It's kind of a tough call. Considering how the Green Lanterns are the police force of the entire universe, they don't have that many "epic" villains.
