I started Green Lantern with Justice League International. Guy Gardner's my Green Lantern. But while I did read Emerald Twilight as it was part of the Death and Return of Superman arc, I didn't actually get started seriously reading Kyle's era until shortly around Zero Hour (when Hal was still Parallax.) So on some level, Kyle's my Green Lantern, too. Hal has always been captain whitebread, so while I wasn't sure how I'd feel about the end of the Kyle era, I was pleased to see that Hal was no longer two-dimensional.

The thing is, I enjoy Guy Gardner and John Stewart equally as much as Kyle, and both of them have gotten a lot more panel time in the comics in the years since Rebirth. I find them all very interesting characters for very different reasons, and watching the way all four of them (Hal included) have gone their individual paths has been very rewarding for a longtime reader.

New Guardians, by the way, felt like an attempt to return to the vintage sci-fi vibe of Kyle era GL, though you may not like it as it's the a few logical steps up from the Ion stuff.

One of the things I liked the most about Kyle's run was when Kyle, John, and Alan hung out with Guy at his club. Alan Scott vies with Kyle for my love. I liked John as he was in Kyle's run, mellow and established.

I ended up liking Guy but he didn't leave a good first impression on me. Kyle was close to the first ever DC title I ever read, and I was totally at sea about all the random people who showed up. Guy showed up first as Warrior and kills this guy (and I think it's really early on in the series run). I had no idea who he was or what was going on. But the bonding moments with the other GLs showed his better sides. I don't think he'll ever be a favorite but I do like when he's bantering with Kyle.

To be fair, Guy's earliest portrayals post-Crisis has him being a huge asshole to everyone. But it was Justice League International and he fit with the rest of the ensemble cast who were mostly a bunch of funny B listers (and Angry Dad!Batman) who always managed to make everyone wonder how they got anything done and surprise everyone when they succeeded.

The Warrior series was pretty shitty -- as the 90s wore on he was going full Liefeld. They eventually killed him off in Our Worlds At War (he came back pretty quickly, though.)
