5 Reasons Kyle Needs a New Suit
1.) Green Gloves. I know what you're gonna say, the white ones are more of a Corps standard and help the ring stand out. But look at it this way.... the Banks suit had green gauntlets, Ion 1.0 had small green gloves, the Jim Lee had longer green gloves, and Ion 2.0 even had green gloves except for the Sin War Special.
2.) New/Old Symbol. Again, every suit Kyle wore up to this point had a more original Lantern badge. This latest one, while cool with a black background, is still just an average badge.
3.) No Hal-lite. Aside from the mask, not much difference between the two suits to the naked eye. When my wife sees my page of GL micros she thinks half of them look the same [Hal, Kyle, Vath, Sarrek, and some of the RPG guys].
4.) Artist's Mindset. If Kyle is like any other artist who draws super-hero costumes he's got tons of ideas in his head. I remember an interview with JG Jones about how he said he'd just draw new costumes all day if he could get paid for doing it. I know I'm the same way....
5.) New Status Quo. Kyle's costumes always changed with the Status Quo as well, and since becoming an Honor Guard he's had 3 costumes. I think it's past time somebody like Kyle came up with a new HG standard. Like a new costume color switcharound like making the suits mostly black and white with green accents [like his original suit which was something Banks originally drew for John Stewart].
I'm tired of this lame attempt at a new costume. When it was originally designed and had the shoulder bumps it had potential, but it was always just the bastard child of Hal's suit and Kyle's Jim Lee costume. Give me something fresh. Here's something I came up with right before bed for an Honor Guard uniform loosely based on Ganthet's look depending on which artist you take from....
