Quote: thedoctor said: No, Peter David did all that work with Captain Marvel. And for his troubles of making that character interesting and well written, Joe Quesada has let his own personal grudge allow for the cancelling of one of Marvel's best written books currently being published.
As for Hal, he should have stayed a villain when they turned him. He should have stayed dead when they killed him. They should have never made him the Spectre. But, whatcha gunna do? Johns has been telegraphing this for about a year in his books. Maybe the story will be interesting, though I'm not fond of bringing back old, dead characters.
i stand corrected. you're right, it's peter david who should be commended for his work on captain marvel, not marvel comics itself. in contrasting the two comic book companies, i misspoke. my bad.
my point still remains the same, though. what was done with marvel's captain marvel is what should have been done with dc's hal jordan, green lantern. cm went from being a nearly-forgotten hero to being one of the most interesting super-powered characters in a long time. hal deserved the same treatment, and could have had it if the character's conversion to villainhood had been written similarly.
