Good disscussion on this issue, one of my favourite things on this run is Morrison’s take on the old and young guardians. While I didn’t mind Johns’ take on the Guardians where they were the authority figures that I usually see in fiction. But Morrison’s take on Guardians really shows them being high concept figures in DCU without bringing down their characters. But still showing the need for GLs place in the universe as form of balance.
I also thought that line about Hal saying the Young Guardians were too young to understand how the universe works is very interesting given the current state of modern comics and stories are being told.
Once Grant Morrison’s run on Green Lantern is done, which writer that hasn’t previously done an extended run on Green Lantern would you like to see?- curious where Tom King ranks on your wish list
