Classic Comics with Matthew B. Lloyd Alan Scott: The Green Lantern and the Art of the Retcon

DC’s current Alan Scott: The Green Lanternmini-series seeks recontextualize the history of the first Green Lantern.  How well does it work as a retcon?  Does it fit the character?  Will it necessarily erase more than it gainsfor the sake of diversity and inclusion? It’s a delicate subject and I hope to present a balanced perspective onthis topic.
