Looks awesome. I love Pacheco's art. He did an awesome job on Superman/Batman, and it looks like he's gonna do a great job here. Not too familiar with John's work but from the little bit I just read seems like it's gonna be great.

Oh God. I cried.

His call sign is Highball. They're bringing in New Frontier into official continuity.

Just seeing Hal back as a GL makes me happy. But seeing him as an honest-to-God pilot, one with influences from New Frontier and The Right Stuff...

...it's better than I could have dreamed.

It certainly does appear to be a winner...

I dropped Legion of Superheroes from my pull list so that i could afford this title...Carlos Pacheco is one of my favorite artists. His work on Flash a few years back was awesome...

I know this is a dumb question, and I haven't read GL since the mid 90's when Hal went crazy and Kyle became GL, but I thought there was only one ring left, so how can Hal, John and Kyle all be GL at the same time? Or does Hal have Kyle's ring?

Well there were actually a few rings lying around after Hal went nuts. It's just Kyle's was the only one powered essentially. I'm not sure how John got one and got it powered (it happened a while ago, but I never saw that story).

Guy Gardner got his ring back during Rebirth.

A while back, Kyle met a time-travelling Hal Jordan from the past, and picked up a ring from him that could, essentially, make duplicates of itself when needed. Kyle left that ring (or a copy of it) to John when he left Earth.

Kyle traveled back in time and met a younger Hal. Hal gave Kyle a copy of his ring.

This is John's ring.

Back during Hard Traveling Heroes, Hal left a ring in the truck that he and Ollie used to travel America. This ring copied itself. This copy is Guy's ring.

Hal's ring is the original ring that he left in the truck used in Hard Traveling Heroes.

Hope that explains everything. I tried to keep it as simple as possible.

For the record, Kyle is wearing the ring that Hal used during Emerald Twilight.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the credits on the last page show Van Sciver for art on pages 1-4, which is what is previewed, right? Why would they have Ethan do the first 4 pages only?

The filenames indicate they're pages 6, 7, 11 and 12. Perhaps the first four pages are a recap of Rebirth?

Well that explains where the extra 50¢ goes.
