Ok it seems people are arguing without knowing the context. This happened in this week's GLC
Those green insect-y looking things were completely unaffected by Hal's attacks (later learned they are constructs of Krona's original gauntlet). Hal, being an idiot, figured "MOAR POWA" was needed, so he baited them into following him into the full force of Mogo's blast amped by hundredS of Green and Yellow lanterns. Hal went face first into the blast along with the critters, using a shield construct to protect himself. Missing from these scans is John's comment that there was no way Hal could survive.
@Celey: I don't know what you want. Using shields to straight up tank energies is not the same thing as absorbing or deflecting. It seems like a very clear cut differentiation to me, so I don't understand the confusion 😕
