And Then I Read: GREEN LANTERN 41

How to give this title a fresh approach? Writer Robert Venditti’s idea is to make Hal Jordan a free-ranging renegade, no longer with a power ring but instead a power gauntlet that is cruder but pretty effective. Have him out there on his own solving small problems rather than all-universe ones, and acting a bit like a less-mercenary Han Solo. So far it works pretty well for me. The art by Billy Tan and Mark Irwin looks good, and gives Hal a long-haired look that works for me, too.
