Green Lantern fights gay-bashing. I don’t find the gay sidekick storyline half as shocking as the fact that they actually gave that whiny cat Judd from the third season of Real World an A-line comic.

I don’t think Green Lantern is all that high-profile. Winick is an established name, with both a critically-acclaimed graphic novel (Pedro and Me) and a fan-favorite indy humor series (Barry Ween) under his belt. The thinking has got to be: what damage can he do? The old media interest in his meager reality-show past only helps bring interest to a third-tier title.
Really? Hmm…just goes to show how out of the loop I am these days. Back when I was an avid reader, Guy Gardner was just becoming the rage. The only thing I pick up now is the occasional high profile run (DK2, Morrison X-Men, Top 10, Authority) and the Cerebus phone books.
The Green Lantern of the book is Kyle Radner, not Guy Gardner (who hasn’t been around in ages, as far as I know).
But I haven’t read GL in ages either, so maybe he’s really good and we both are missing out. But I doubt it.
There’s room enough for fanboys to debate the point. I would argue that GL is high-profile, or second-tier. Not Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, X-Men first tier. Higher than third-tier (Blade, as an example people might know because of the movies).
