It seems pretty clear that the other thread has become about the "gay" debate, so for those who want to actually discuss this issue, have at it.
[Mods: I forgot to add a poll.]
Despite my general feelings that DC has screwed up the JSA, I did like this issue.
Alan's origin here is different from before and from the GLC.
Hawkgirl (who loses out to Alan's premeir) is a bit of a b###h, but that fits with some previous incarnations.
And —big spoiler—Grundy as man of Gray? Wow. I guess there is kind of a gray lantern now!

For an Alan Scott issue there was very little of him. I dunno what to make of him right now ... there's so much weird about him.
As I kinda figured from the interviews the ring isn't the actual source of his power; it's just a focus. I don't like that. The ring's the most mystical thing about him! Well, it's better than no ring at all. As much as I liked the stories from Alan's Sentinel years and his relationship to Kyle, I did not like it when they ditched the ring all together.
No willpower connection either. *sigh* Well, the broad strokes seem similar to his old origin, which I like, but I'm not sold on the "Earth's protector" aspect of Alan's origin yet, but I'm willing to give it a chance.
I gotta re-read Stan Lee's GL, it seems so similar to this one.
Overall, though, I guess I liked the issue.

Anyways 3 issue into this series and I really like the concepts/direction they're heading in. I have no problem with a Swamp Thing analogue being the top gun so to speak in a world where Superman and co. are off the table. I just wish the dialogue was better, Robinson really needs a strong editor to reign him in. One other complaint, albeit a minor one, is that I don't like Alan's costume, should've been green and black, solid green just doesn't work.

You now it occurs to me that making lan ties to "the green" is a great, logical way to legitimize his vulnerability to wood. Once I realized that, I'm looking at it a little more favorably.
I don't know anything about Swampy, but if they wanted to tie Grundy to the red wouldn't they have called him "man of red"? If I'm going to give the Earth-2 guys any credit it seems like they're trying to go for the Yin/Yang aspect of the Starheart (which, obviously, doesn't exist). Basically a balancing effect. The Starheart has two sides - good and evil. This sort of seems the same way, sort of. The green energy of life had the counter of the grey evergy of death.
