Hal is written way off. He clearly needs Prozac, or something. There's a difference between having willpower and making a complete arsecake of yourself .
Perhaps the comic itself will expand upon his attitude problem & explain it a little more. I have some faith this will be the case, as Robinson is a solid writer; his current run on Superman is an absolute joy to read (it's 22 pages a month of "Watch Mon-El Be Adorable & Doomed" and there are few things I enjoy more than that)
But even if it's rubbish, we have Johns & Busiek writing him in other comics. And oh! How cute is the Wednesday Comics art? Hals' smug grin in that 4th panel is just so perfectly...Hal.
I'm really looking forward to Wednesday Comics. Everything about it seems tailored specifically to lure me in. Hell, I'll even tolerate Didio on Metal Men 'cause it's got Lopez on art duties.
