do you have any hal reading recs?
hiii absolutely i do!! If you're just starting out and haven't touched a GL comic before, I would use this handy-dandy list as a guide! Start with Emerald Dawn parts 1 and 2, and then jump to the hard traveling heroes arc! imo hal’s most fun issues are in the 70s to early 80s (pre englehart). DO NOT read rebirth first, his characterization is much different (worse) there. Also read Spectre (2001). you gotta read it after the parallax arc but you gotta read it. please for the love of god read Spectre (2001).
As for other hal stuff, Green Lantern: Willworld is a fun, self-contained book that leans into surrealism more than any other GL book i’ve read! You don’t need to know much about GL lore going into it. Morrison’s GL run is also pretty good! I liked it a lot, but it does lean hard into the space-cop view of GLs so ymmv!
Christ Priest's run in action comics is really fucking good (it's issues #601-607 and #621-635) as well as the Green Lantern Special #1-2 and Secret Origins #36. Flash & Green Lantern: The Brave and the Bold is very fun but you should probably read it after you read through the 70s to early 80s GL issues! Green Lantern: Ganthet's Tale is super fucking good and the art is georges!! And last but certainly not least, Green Lantern: Legacy (the last will and testament of hal jordan). this one is soooooooo good you guys. you need to read it after having read the parallax arc but Boy Howdy does it hit. please god read LWAT.
