Så här påverkades Secret Empire av Green Lantern

Det senaste eventet från Marvel är så gott som avslutat nu. I Secret Empire såg vi Steve Rogers som en medlem av Hydra vilket skapat blandade känslor hos fans. Nick Spencer, författare av berättelsen, har nyligen berättat att det finns vissa likheter och skillnader mellan Secret Empire och Rebirth (Geoff Johns) från DC Comics. Där ser vi Green Lantern bli övertagen av Parallax och anfaller bland annat Justice League.

"I think that I've talked about this example before, but I have enormous respect for the Hal Jordan Parallax story. For me when you read the through-line of the Parallax story it's really compelling, and then when you see what Geoff Johns does in Rebirth and how he kind of explains Parallax, I think it's all really well done.

There's one thing about just as a fan that drives me crazy, which is in the story Hal Jordan has kind of a moment of weakness where the stress of the job is starting to get to him in the face of real adversity, and that gives Parallax that small opening to then infect Hal. As much as I like all the elements of that story, it always drives me crazy that there's still a moment of culpability. There's still a thing of Hal had this moment of weakness and that's what let Parallax in the door and all the things that happened after that is a result of that.

So when I was sitting down and breaking this story down, I was like I don't want Steve to have that moment of weakness. That I want everybody in the Marvel Universe to look at what happened to Steve and say "there was no way you could've prevented that." There's no moment of weakness, there's no error. There's no example of carelessness or whatever that opens the door for all these things.

If you feel in any way that the ending is a cop out or a way of shielding Steve from thee things, I will happily take that over "the thing you did didn't fix the character and now I view him as a fascist human who destroyed a city and killed a bunch of people.""
