I "love" how DC is trying to play up the fact that he's not caucasian and that he's Muslim.  They're even putting the "exclamation point" on it by just calling him by his last name of "Baz" and not using his first name at all (it's "Simon").  Nearly every other time they advertise something GL-related, they use the full names of the characters or their first name.  But not this time...

And this might be the final nail in the coffin for me in terms of reading comics.  I was darn close right before DC decided to do GL: Rebirth.  With them bringing back Hal Jordan, who happens to be my favorite character, I was excited about comics again.  Now with them "indefinitely"  doing away with Hal, I may definitely stop buying most of the comics I get now.  I've already dropped a lot of titles from them, dropping the rest is the next step.

So for the first time since 1977, I probably won't be buying DC Comics.   "Job well done", DC.*

Rick, if you want to do spolier tags, use INVISO in between [ ] and [/ ], like this:

Well, see, Green Lantern was the most relentlessly de-uniqued concept DC had, what with there being, like, 3500 of them, or so. So the only way they could make it even LESS unique was to have as many as possible be from Earth!

I don't know who wins the Gomer award here--DC for Xeroxing Lanterns, or the dim-bulb fans who keep gobbling up their titles.
