I'll try to make this post a bit short.

Hal and John had shared their differences a couple of times in the past, which resulted in fights. Since War of the Green Lanterns, John Stewart made the toughest decisions by sacrificing fellow members, because he believe that is what's best for the green lantern corps. If John gets his wish, does he deserve this kind of position, despite his past mistakes and arrogance that led to the destruction of Xanshi? Does anyone blame John for having this kind of behavior against Hal?

Thoughts?

I really don't know how to feel about my two favorite Lanterns duking it out. But I know this story is gonna be amazing!

Will this be one of those covers that have little to do with the actual issue?

I think it is just like that.But if they fight and the writer makes John win and he becomes the leader of the GL Corps I will be really disappointed.

Yeah, I can't really imagine John fighting Hal for something so petty as that.

The leadership role is only temporary, until the Templar Guardians take over...

I know.But I can't see a good reason why John would fight Hal for the leadership of the Corps.

Because Hal is being a d*** or somethin'.

Well I may as well see what @the_greatest_green_lantern, @captain13, @outlawrenegade and @desh think of this. No doubt they're going to champion Stewart over Hal in all this.

Currently he is not acting like a d**k.At least in my opinion.

@tdk_1997: Well maybe he just starts being one. Maybe he gets possessed by a new space bug.

I think it's dumb as suggested. Maybe that type of thing would work for Red Lanterns but this is the GL Corps. Settling out who the leader is over a fist fight is idiotic. Also lets say John does win. How they does that mean he gets to be the new leader? It wouldn't mean anything to a sane person. The Templar Guardians gave Jordan the authority to be leader and losing a fight wouldn't change that.

I'm not suggesting DC will play it out like that or have him win. Honestly I think Hal will win which is how John ends up a trainer. I just thought the idea was stupid.

For the record though I think they shouldn't have picked one leader but a council of Honor Guard to lead the GL's.

@decoyelite: I hope it's nothing like that because it's too big of a cliche and sounds lame.

I had a feeling this would happen.....

well i dont know about leadership positions but it wouldn't be the first time something like this has happened. Guy tried to kill Hal to gain his sector spot once and wasn't punished,and Hal returned the favor later (without the whole attempted murder angle) and succeeded.

@avenging_x_bolt: Them fighting isn't what bothered me. I can see them fighting over a difference of opinion. It was just the thought that who would win would mean anything.

It could be argued the the Guardians didn't care about the fight unless it's disruptive to the running of the corps and defending the sector. This is a bit more though because it's who in charge and the direction the corps go in. Beating Hal wouldn't magically give him the authority over the corps. GL's would be like ok you beat the leader up so what? What makes you think I'm going to suddenly follow you. It's different when it comes to running him out of a sector where you are mostly the only ones involved and it doesn't involve other people.

yeah, i agree. something big must be happening to make get that at each other's throats.

@avenging_x_bolt: I think it involves failing Guy and abandoning a sector to the Reds. Among other extreme decisions Hal will make.

Exactly.

If it is, as suggested, a fight for the leadership, it may not be in a literal sense...

Same here, considering how Van Jenson mentioned about his reading on John's Mosaic series, few months back. Who knows...

One of them will be declaring war on the other corps which includes John's current girlfriend so that might have something to do with it.

I think we already know what they think. I actually expected them to already have commented on this thread.

Are they considered fans of John or fanboys of John?

Fanboys.

i consider them fans. they're passionate but usually fair.

Interesting.

Well I never implied that them being fanboys was a bad thing.

lol

Uh, this sooooooooo stupid and lame. Hal is the temporary leader designated by the templar guardians. John winning a fight isn't going to change it.

Green Lantern should stomp.
