Kyle rayner compendium did so bad they are doing hal compendiums now instead of a kyle compendium 2

a lot of people sure pretend to like him then

The real issue is that pretty much everything in the first compendium had been released already, most notably having just been released in a series of "complete Kyle Rayner" trades that stopped around #75-76.

The compendium just repackaged those three complete collections. Adding to this, even the most ardent Kyle stan will admit the run stopped being readable the second Byrne got Donna banned from appearing in the book around issue #89.

Like said it was a lazy ass release of something majority already had since 2017 and can still get both volumes cheaper. DC just did us dirty

Also "Compendiun"

Wasn't Hal an engineer in the Broome originals

it looks like the whole epic green lantern stuff 2005-2012

what did you expect when they had to keep bringing hal back during kyle's run to keep people interested?

Isn't some of Kyle's stuff radioactive because a pedo wrote them?

If you are talking about Gerard Jones, I don't think so. He did write Hal, John, and Guy, but he wasn't on Green Lantern when Kyle was around.

I love Kyle so take that back

I gotta give it to Geoff John’s he really pulled Hal from the depths of khia ville.

to be fair, Kyle's run takes A WHILE to get going

Kyle is a far better approach to GL, he's an artist and therefore his constructs are much more imaginative

he's an artist

this is why he is unlikeable, artists are fags.

Nah Late JLI to early Death of Superman is the GL era we'll never see in Omni cause of that fucker.

Kyle's run was comfy but wrought with troubles outside the book. Fans wanted and liked Hal more so they kept bringing Hal back, at the same time they still wanted to push Kyle so they kept bringing up how much better he was than Hal despite not actually living up to that. Then Donna got kicked off the book which really didn't help because she was the main love interest and most prominent supporting character I will say Marz did the best he could but he couldn't overcome the Wonder Woman editorial and once Marz was off the book the quality dipped even more, the run with the Jim Lee art (I forget who wrote it) is one of the most flaccid comic book runs I've ever read

test pilot from what I remember

hal chads can't stop winning

Anon you should probably see whats going on over here before you say that

absolute universe

Nobody cares.

he's arguably the shittiest Earth Lantern

Still Jonh Stewart

hal chads can't stop winning.

Except you can't have a Hal run without a Kyle run to establish it.

test pilots are usually engineers

they just dont want to pay johns or evs, so avoid reprints.

There are only three runs worth reading for Green Lantern: Mainline GL by Geoff Johns, GLC by Peter Tomasi and the Kyle Rayner era of Ron Marz.

Nah, he's cool.

Nobody cares.

That's Baz and Jo

That's not the reason why the run went down the drain. The real reason is that Kyle Rayner lost his greatest enemy, connection to the GLC, and his crossover/event meal ticket. Remember when Kyle and Hal crossed over with Marvel and fought Silver Surfer and Thanos? Remember Zero Hour? Their final interactions in Final Night? When Hal was gone, that's when everything went to shit for Kyle.
Donna Troy was damaged goods and had Terry Long's spawn. Trying to hook Kyle up with a single mother made him look lame.

Most of those replies are shitting on it tho

he's arguably the shittiest Earth Lantern

Yes, clearly and not the most intelligent black girl in existence who hacked her way into a power battery

conpendiun

does dc not have quality control?

You misspelled 'Simon Baz'.
