Rest in peace, Ben. Thank you for your videos. This video got me into the Green lantern mythos.

"And with his power Ganthet creates one last ring, one ring that can power itself, one ring to rule them all"

[ProxyMinePro]

I need to understand something.  The guardians said he used his ring for personal gain.  Okay, I get that.  So how did they not know Sinestro used his to conquer his home world?

[slitor]

Hal Jordan lost a city and went completely mental, Sinestro lost his entire planet and well...handled it much more constructive then what Hal Jordan ever did.

[vasp]

I must admit that this story broke my heart . I simply could not believe that my lifelong hero Hal Jordan could fall so far . Broke my heart .

This story is so epic. No, its not a 30+ issue series, covering 8 titles with 15 important characters. Its a short, sad and personal tale about Hal. Love the way you read it out, hit all the right points. Kudos. This channel has tons of GREAT videos, but this one is touched me the most.

"Plus you guys kept bothering us in the comments"
We did what was needed

[BBmetalhead]

I know this is the story about how Hal becomes a villain, but I gotta say I was kinda rooting for him. 
Plus the fact that he challenges Sinestro with just one ring was pretty bad ass.

Wonder Woman: Snaps Maxwell Lord's neck.
Flash: Snaps Reverse Flash's neck.
Superman: Snaps Zod's neck.
Hal Jordan: Snaps Sinestro's neck.


Do the Justice League have a fetish for that because I notice that this kind of method has happened a few times in it. I also noticed that in those Green Lantern stories, there was a lot of things involving the mouth with Guardian's puking rings out, swallowing rings, having entities shoved in their rings. What is with that as well? XD

[antwan]

i hated the created retconned version of paralax, i really liked the storyline of Hall Jordan just losing it and just going crazy with remorse it was so well done Hall Jordan just going bonkers was the best Fallen Hero story ever.

[comicstorian]

We wont be guaranteeing Green Lantern stories weekly again, but we'll probably be very close to that. Kyle Rayner and Guy Gardner's stories will be our focus, but since Paralax showed up in Convergence, it seemed like the best time to tell this story. For those of you wondering, this IS in Continuity for all timelines right now, just things have been corrected

[hurrigame]

I've never bought the whole 'Hal was overtaken by Parallax.' I prefer to think that he became Parallax, as it makes him a deeper character. Being possessed makes him weak. Besides, the emergence of Parallax was probably the first time I ever gave a damn about Hal Jordan.

This may just be me, but I actually liked this Storyline :P

[chiefbigbeef]

I had to come back to the first video i ever watched all those years ago. Ill always miss your voice and i thank God Ms. Comicstorian will keep it going. I love you man. You git me through so many tragic events, work shifts, and helped me to get my imagination back when i thought it was gone. You were an amazing to have ar my side all these years my friend. Please, Rest In Peace Benny.

Imagine seeing Ryan Reynolds reenacting the Emerald Twilight cover. Scary.

"Blessed are The Torchbearers, who bring light unto Darkness." - Prophet Velen at the alliance side of the ring legendary quest on Draenor.

OMFG. I just realized why that sentence was so damn familiar :D

[obey_ebo]

all these green lantern stories usually involves Kyle Rayner or gal Jordan. you barely hear about John Stewart

[tjjordan]

The writer part of me immediately sees how exactly I would have done Hal's story in just three issues, without turning him into an evil person but still making a huge change for Kyle Rayner to come in and take over. Here's my pitch:


"Set in the aftermath of Coast City's destruction, Hal attempts to bring it back through the power of his ring and begins to relive his past life, while having conversations with people through hindsight. He speaks with his mother, his friends, and a former girlfriend named Jennifer from his college years but avoids his father. His mother and friends are the easiest to speak to. Hal recalls some of his best memories being with his mother during his childhood. Although she is proud of the man he has become, she wishes for him to settle down and raise a family. As for his friends, he recalls the good memories and comes to believe that the superheroes he has fought alongside with, like Oliver Queen, became his surrogate family, which his mother points out is only a substitute for what he might be truly desiring.

After making peace with his mother and friends, he is met by Jennifer, who brings back the regret he has in breaking up with her so suddenly after she helped him recover from his father's death, realizing that those feelings were never truly resolved. He imagines what their life would have been like, seeing an alternate reality where he is a father and husband, making him feel even more regret. However, she points out that if they hadn't broken up, he wouldn't have become Green Lantern. He responds that it did little for Coast City, but she tells him that dwelling on what-ifs never helps and that everyone must live with the consequences, no matter who made them. She forgives him and tells him to do the same for himself before vanishing, telling him her wish is to see him move on.

Finding the strength and will within, Hal finally confronts his father, who berates him for failing to save Coast City and Hal admits that it is his failure, that he can't bring back the dead or live in a fantasy world where everything is alright. He turns the tables on his father and calls him out on ignoring him as a child, or being there for him when he needed a father. Although his father refuses to acknowledge this, Hal forgives him and makes peace, just as the power in his ring runs out.

Afterwards, Hal is contacted by the Guardians, who order him to return to Oa and face disciplinary action. He accepts and is brought before the council, who acknowledge that Hal was going through mental stress and PTSD, so they won't imprison him. Instead, they decide to suspend him from Lantern duties for a little while, take his ring, and return him to Earth. Once there, he pays a visit to Jennifer but from afar, seeing that she has moved on, married, and has kids. He smiles at the family and decides to go back into the military. A little while later, he meets a woman and begins to date. When his suspension is up, Hal refuses the ring when it comes to him, having found peace.

In Los Angeles, Kyle Rayner finishes a date with his girlfiend, Alexandra DeWitt, and returns home to find the ring waiting for him, telling him that he has been chosen to become the new Green Lantern of Sector 2814."
