Marz himself has stated he felt he didn't establish Hal's descent very well, but that the editors only gave him a few issues to deptict his depression. He's very much aware that it didn't come across very well, but issue #50 was supposed to be Kyle's debut and so he had only about five or so issues to show Hal's fall from grace.

But if Morrison IS to come on board to the book, then I'm gonna bandwagon on that one big time. He's the only writer to really grasp what exactly what Kyle brings to the role rather than what's been missing from GL with Hal gone. I know Geoff Johns has submitted a proposal though, and he's stated on his boards he'd bring Hal back if he could. I'm anxious to see how it all turns out.
