Great episode! After issue #2 I am still enjoying Thorne’s run so far, although I do agree with the sentiment you gave that “DC has given the keys to the kingdom to a guy who doesn’t love the king”. I don’t think Hal always needs to be the star, but if he is going to be sidelined the whole time then it would be disappointing. I feel like DC could use the lanterns so much better if they gave them all a home, kind of like they did with the New 52 when each human lantern had a comic where they played a big role. I hope they are headed this direction, with Jo Mullein being in the Future State Justice League and Alan Scott being in Infinite Frontier. But with only one comic for the lanterns it seems unlikely. Maybe we should move one to Gotham and then they’ll get a lot of love!
