And hey, all you Jordan haters out there: if you don't like it... get over it.
I've been waiting ten years to say that ;)

Geoff Johns will be writing him, and there are few who are better choices that him. Johns has a strong, sincere reverence to the Silver and Golden Ages of comics, and his superhero books are some of the best on the market simply because they resist the cynicism and nihilism of post 1980's comics. He was the writer who took the JSA, the team made up of the oldest DC superheroes (the old GL, Flash, Wildcat, all WWII era characters) and made it a top-selling book, and he's also the writer of Flash.

You bring up a good point, though, and a lot of fans are angry about Hal coming back as Green Lantern, since in their eyes it's like a huge step backward. Johns has been doing his best to acknowledge these complaints and insists that the story he's crafted actually IS a step forward. I'll be damn interested to see how he pulls it off.
