IGN: In the same vein, Sinestro started in a very different place than where he ended. I use the term “self awareness” a lot and I think that’s something a lot of people struggle with to have, and I think Hal Jordan has definitely come full circle and has that.

I think Hal Jordan is somebody who has gone through so many different trials and recognizes who he is and why he does what he does. Seeing himself gave him the strength and the will and the courage to move forward, so it was very full circle for me from Rebirth #1 to Green Lantern #20. It gives him what he needed in that moment and vice versa. For me in Green Lantern #20, it was the scene where it’s him and himself that kinda closed that door for me and he seems to move on completely. He had been corrupted, he had been acting very irrational, very insane, but in the context of the story, he was somebody who was still struggling with fear about both the people he cares about and himself and everything. Where was Hal Jordan when you started your run on Green Lantern and how do you see him now that you’re done? Geoff Johns: Wow, when we started he was so far away from who he was and who he used to be, wasn’t he? Looking back to the mindset of where he was, he had essentially been a supervillain.
