I am sure that I don't really like the current GL retcon. It's not bad as a story, but it's a retcon that only serves to create the plot for Blackest Night. Which might be great, but it comes at the expense of being a retcon. Never mind that I liked the retcon of Hal's origin from the 80s.

I've always said that with Marvel, you can leave for years and come back and it will be the same origin story and the same character that you knew. I did that with FF and with Cap. You can't have that with Superman or Hal or Batman.

Alas, the Y1 books are sometimes a lot better than the present day stuff. I love the Teen Titans Year One comic and would happily buy it as an ongoing not-quite-in-continuity series.
