What's up with Kyle's new ring? *spoilers*

From Kyle's appearance in All New Atom #15 (which, from an editor's blurb in the issue, takes place "after the events of Green Lantern #26 and concurrent with events in Countdown #33!") :

The first page:



It looks rather like the standard GL ring, the same kind Hal and the others wear.

The fourth page:



Here it looks exactly like Kyle's old ring.

What's the deal?

I don't know but Kyle's original ring has always been my favorite..

[Guest Close genesistorm]

I think it must be the artist's mistake..

Andrew, you're right (from the other thread) about the crabmask being pancaked on Kyle's face. Why do so many artists insist on smashing the thing flat on his face?!?

The cover of Tales of the Sinestro Corps Presents: Ion would seem to cement it's the standard GL-looking ring, not Kyle's old ring's look.

Thing is GL rings general aren't standard, look at the first issue of Green Lantern Recharge, you see the Central Power Battery spitting out various shaped rings. Kilowog is likewise generally shown with a circleless ring (thought he's had a 'Hal' ring in a few of the recent GLC panels)

*Shrug*

This just doesn't apply to Mistakes when they draw Kyle's ring, but across the board. Why cant rings look similar between one artist and another. If they know they are going to do a close-up of the wielder's ring, why not have the similar design? They dont change Superman or Batman's symbol every damned issue, so why not here. Frustrates me when I see the same GL wear 3 different rings in 3 different issues in a row, lol.

CURE: Eat a banana for the potassium, take a multivitamin, and drink some caffeine ...
Hangover will go bye bye ...

Hey kids, heres an easy and fun way to rationalize!

Because the rings are so cool, they can (and do) change shape on a regular basis. Its either the rings personality doing the changing, or the wielder. Perhaps different mind frames = different ring configurations? The possibilities are endless! Fun for everyone!
