Chris and Reggie "Box-Set", Volume 12: Hal Jordan's Action Comics

During the month of November, 2018... we examined an often-overlooked era for Hal Jordan... and the pit-stop he made between runs of his own ongoing title as the leading man of Action Comics during its weekly incarnation.
Join us for nearly six-hours of discussion and analysis... and follow along as Hal learns a bit about his ring, meets Oprah Winfrey, ends his icky (and arguably illegal) relationship with Arisia, and faces off with the Greatest Super-Villain you've never heard of... Lord Malvolio!
