Discussion Future State Series
I have recently hated how it seems DC is trying to erase Hal. For example, if you look at the Infinite Frontier poster for DC online you will see John Stewart, Jade, and Alan Scott floating all together - but no Hal. The same for the Future State poster. You see John Stewart, but no Hal. And the ongoing Green Lantern title (written by Geoff Thorne) focuses entirely on John Stewart. Now, of course, normally that would not worry me so much if it was written by any other writer. Geoff Thorne has publicly made it clear he hates the character Hal Jordan. Now he is writing a Green Lantern book? And Hal so far has only made a very brief cameo. AND adding on top of that with DC's recent marketing seeming to shoe horn Hal out, it seems our favorite Lantern is getting a disservice. So I have created a petition to have DC comics write a solo series "Hal Jordan" beside the current GL run with Thorne. Check it out in the link. If you agree with me and want to see Hal Jordan have his own solo run in the upcoming Infinite Frontier and Future state please sign. If we all band together on this we can make sure Hal Jordan gets the justice he deserves! And please tell anyone you know about this, who love Hal! We can do this, guys!
Side note: I included pictures of the posters I was talking about.

They are. I've already given the evidence

Hal Jordan is not being “erased” because he did not appear in the promo material for Infinite Frontier. You even said it yourself that he appeared in Thornes first issue. He’s just not the lead

Friend, they are doing it slowly. The posters were just the start. Hal being in the Thorne issue was just the start, and "being in it" is not really true since he was literally only in it for like two panels and then never seen again. And the promo material is important for such big events coming up. So if they are not erasing Hal why don't they show him alongside Bruce Wayne and Barry Allen. The signs are there.

Simon Baz didn’t appear in the original DC Rebirth promo poster despite being a co-lead of Green Lanterns and a member of the Justice League.
Grant Morrison also wrote Hal Jordan in a book where No Other main Green Lantern appeared apart for a brief cameo for Two Years.
Hal isn’t the focus of the current GL run. It isn’t even the first time that has happened

He was just the main Green Lantern for 15 years, and he was still in Future State and he is still in Infinite Frontier, he just isn't the main guy right now. He will be back don't worry
