There have been a number of heroes to hold the mantle of The Green Lantern, and like The Flash before him, everyone seems to have their favorite. Which brings us to the Major Spoilers Poll of the Week!
Discussion:
The Wrath of the Spectre
One of DCs most powerful and terrifying characters has been the Spectre, the wrath of the Lord made manifest. Since his introduction in 1940, the Spectre has chilled villains to their marrow and protected the innocent from things worse than death.

John Stewart has been remade into an interesting character multiple times. He was originally written as a very wishy-washy (a trait he shared with Hal) architect. But the problem with him is that he will disappear for decades and then be reinvented into something cool. He was invented, Hal came back and then he disappeared until Crisis. Mosaic was a great story that ended with a fizzle. The JLU version introduced the soldierly Stewart that was potentially the most interesting version.
In fact, I’d say none of these characters (save Simon Baz, who’s brand new) have been particularly consistent in their character traits. However, Hal, when he’s done well, is done very well. Some of the greatest Hal Jordan stories are some of the greatest stories in comics.
The only Spectre run I ever read was from the 90s by John Ostrander and Tom Mandrake. A must read for all conspiracy theorist. Well told stories with what I would describe as eerie art, which fits the theme of the title.
