I don't know why but the way Hal Jordon is drawn in the book makes him look like Ryan Gosling. I would love to see this as a film one day.

Hal Jordan is a character that is very easy to screw up. Write him well and he's a macho but compassionate rouge with a heart of gold and a wit that's ALMOST as quick as he thinks it is. Write it wrong and he turns into a jarheaded jackass with a callous disregard for the people around him and a mean streak a mile wide.

[@bartoszdulas1703]

So writing him wrong turns him into Guy Gardner.

[@gabbar51ngh]

That's because Hal is a simplistic base character. Writers end up writing him douchey because they don't know what to do with him but being such a character has it's perks. You can put him in any interesting situation and explore a story. This isn't a possible with a character who's expected to have a specific kind of adventure and story.

The Earth One comics make me miss the peak days of Marvel's Ultimate Universe. But maybe thats more because the Ultimate universe is what brought me back into comics after falling off. Something about full stories/universes (not just What If one shots) about new takes on classic characters with clear visions and bold swings of risks are so fun to read.

With the amount of potential Earth One had, it sucks to see where it's ended up now. I would have loved to see a continuation of the GL Earth one comic, or even a Flash or Aquaman series.

[@zachryder3150]

The origins of the Yellow Lantern Rings in Earth One is so bizarre because it boiled down to "Green is slightly weaker than yellow and if you pick yellow you're being too greedy for wanting to have excessive power, so you better stick to the weaker version... which is still one of the most powerful weapons in the universe...??"

[@zaphero5518]

There's uncertainty because of the comic history of the ring and it coming from an unreliable source that leads the users, but SPOILER WARNING in truth it's just another tool like the Green Ring. The moral issue was not using the yellow lantern rings but rather working for the Guardian; it turned out that the risk of it putting people under his thrall was unfounded. That along with the green battery being launched into another dimension is why the entire corps goes yellow, with the guardian gone and fears past the Green Lantern Corps swaps their colors out of practicality. It's pretty funny they'd probably have to call a third volume "Yellow Lantern Earth One".

To me, Earth One is every hero is the only hero of their earth. I cannot picture them living in the same world, yet I´m happy I see it that way. The potential of having each IP shining on their own, restricting the writer's resources, and making them play with obscure passages of those super gods is refreshing. A change of pace

[@theimperialnord38]

I see what you mean. The Green Lantern Earth One story felt nothing like the other Earth One stories...nor did the rest for that matter. Its almost like how the Original Marvel Movies felt like their own worlds too. Like Ben Afflecks Daredevil didnt dwell in the same world as Spiderman, Fantastic 4, Blade, etc.

[@Me-wx1mt]

yeah, like they technically don’t have any inconsistencies story to story so they could cross over and they’re marked in the multiverse map as one world, but i can’t imagine earth 1 superman crossing over with earth 1 titans 😂

[@geraldnyundo8523]

Probably the best green lantern story because it's such a reinvention with just perfect art and character moments. I think that's the beauty of elseworld stories

[@scifiguy9000]

This SHOULD be the inspiration for a Green Lantern movie! Also, I want to hear your thoughts on Earth 1 Superman, Wonder Woman and most of all Teen Titans.

[@alexandrefrauches132]

Agreed. In fact, in adaptation of vol 1, they could replace Killowog for Sinestro (or just have him as one of Hal's allies, alongside other lanterns) and have the movie be a buddy cop adventure, showing Hal and Sinestro becoming friends and partners. In the following movies it could show Sinestro slowly revealing his dark side and becoming Hal's enemy, with the third movie adapting Sinestro Corp War.

[@francescozenocchini4428]

Is What i said. Green Lantern needs a redemption in the movies. We will have a TV anthology series on HBO Max. But i more like a big and Epic science fiction movie kolossal. This would be the main inspiration for the movie. And i Hope we will get a new GL movie soon.

*That's what I 've been saying! :D Earth One Green Lantern could and should be a big inspiration for a DCEU DC comics superhero live action film or even a non-DCEU DC comics superhero live action film just like Matt Reeves 's popular and successful The Batman 2022 live action film!

This reminds me that I should really read the Green Lantern Earth One books at some point.

[@DCMarvelMultiverse]

I noticed this series and the intro of GL in the Smallville comic both base their tales on the GLC being a thing of the past that has to be rebuilt by ragtag wannabe and accidental GLs. This E1 version IS the GL film I want to see.

[@BFG93]

Recently picked up, and have to agree its a really refreshing reinvention in which grounded in a more space fairing industrial age. The simplified power set but core points of a GL story, it was a really good read. Both books are great. Nice style and aesthetic and perfect elseworld tale.

[@antoniochasten3192]

I agree. They can easily continue this E1 stories on DC Black Label. I mean, Black Label replaced Vertigo (which I don't know why they got rid of that name/label) which were basically Elseworld stories. DC Black Label is a bit of a mystery. Some stories with these A lIst characters like Supes, Bats, Wondy and the rest are canon and yet some are not. They mostly do the A list character stories and it doesn't really do a lot of stories like Vertigo did. Again, it's confusing and interesting how some stories are canon and some are not. Y'know what? Better yet, just revive the Elseworlds label and continue on with E1 stories.

Volume 1 has been in my top 5 favorite graphic novels of all time. It's a PERFECT reinvention and truly is cinematic. If they were to ever reboot GL in film with Hal as the protagonist, all the filmmaker would need to do is adapt this. Perhaps Ridley Scott? (Some of the imagery gives me Alien, Prometheus and Martian vibes). Hope the series comes close to this.

Couldn't agree more. That series was truly one of DC's greatest gems, that has unfortunately become incredibly underrated. The GLTAS was the show that hot me into Green Lantern lore and the phenomenal Green Lantern stories especially Geoff John's GL run. I would absolutely love to see @Owen Likes Comic's take on. The series as it is criminally underrated and deserves so much more attention.

*You know, I honestly love this reinvented Earth One version of the DC superhero, Hal Jordan aka Green Lantern !* :D *Instead of a hot shot test pilot turned heroic intergalactic space cop, this version is a benevolent, intelligent, noetic, scientist/astronaut as as an everyman underdog who goes to a "chose and create your own destiny and not let destiny choose and create it for you" route with the Green Lantern ring!* *I love it! :D Love the aesthetic artwork innovativereinvention, ,storytelling and character development!* 🎨 *Even though I'm honestly a fiercely loyal, purehearted, positive, perpetually hopeful and passionate fan of Marvel Studios/MCU films and Disney for examples, I can totally see the DCEU films being inspired by the Earth One Green Lantern comic stories and using this version of Green Lantern as one of the main heroes in a future Green Lantern Corps live action DCEU film!

Green Lantern Earth One is the best Earth One story compare to the others.

Minor note: While the yellow rings **are** powered by fear in the mainstream DC Universe, on Earth One the source of the lantern rings' energy is never so explicitly stated, and certainly not by the Guardian at any point, he only boasts that the yellow rings are more powerful than the green.

[@tonygazso9027]

One of the few times Hal has actually been interesting

[@jbcatz5]

Something that really struck me about the more science based approach to the world is in volume 1 after Hal first gets the ring, he’s not able to come back on the ship because he isn’t guaranteed not to be unsafe like the quarantine protocols in Alien. There’s also that he’s depicted as a regular guy, he’s not the big hotshot with the incredible body he’s got a healthy though unremarkable physique. This really sells him more as a relatable everyman, someone caught up in a situation in the deep end and having to trust he’s making the right decisions (which is reflected that in this continuity there isn’t the rings choosing people with the potential for willpower). This contrasts with his main continuity persona, where he is the guy everyone looks up to, who has the solution no matter how drastic and gets away with his cocky nature because of his win record.

[@rossjones8426]

Earth one series probably Should have been DC'S 2010's reboot instead of New 52 it was a clean slate from decades of continuity, it keep the look of DC but more realistic instead of high octane body armor.

@@milkiassamuel780 I hear what you're saying but I really find all the different colour rings lazy writing and repetitive. This was the first time the green and yellow ring back stories made sense. Still, I've only read a fraction of the lantern stories. There are probably some good ones.

[@AlkaponX57]

I was expecting something more interesting than just what if James Holden from the expanse were Hal Jordan. How is this fresh? This is barely different than the main continuity, and the biggest difference isn’t anything to do with the green lantern ethos but simply the tech level of earth. Maybe this story is very well told but to call this a fresh reimagining is insanely generous.

I loved the darker, hopless, atmosphere of this story. Most stories show the Green Lanterns as super powerful, and guided by the immortal Guardians.

[@scottlowell493]

Yes, they re-invented him as a weak, 3rd rate character. His constructs shatter like sugar glass, and he gets easily beaten by middle of the road characters (heroes and villains). They suddenly decided the ring has no effect at all vs superman or darksied. The most powerful weapon in the universe and it might as well be a super soaker vs even lex Luthor's weapons or intergang's weapons. His battle vs Zod was the most badly written, and dumbest possible way to win. The man who could move and destroy planets, time travel, take out superman level and cosmic characters is now just a background character that is zero threat to superman. Since First flight and New frontiers, GL in the DCAU has been absent, or quickly defeated like an irrelevant nuisance.
