Emerald Eternity

The other day, an online conversation about comics veered, as it so often does these days, into a debate about the revival of Hal Jordan as Green Lantern -- something that, as regular readers of this journal know, Does Not Please Your Obedient Serpent. As the conversation progressed, I realized that the person on other side of the debate, insisting that Kyle Rayner was a "Young Punk", was a decade younger than myself... and I slowly realized that, of my friends in the pro-Hal camp, the majority of them were in that thirtysomething range.

( Wait, shouldn't *I* be the stodgy old fart who's threatened by change? )
