Green Lantern John Stewart Appreciation Thread

[Anthony Shaw]

Didn't read Darkstars.

When did this occur?

During the time Kyle was the sole Green Lantern. Donna Troy was a member, too.

DC tried to give John & Guy bold new directions when Hal went bonkers in the early 1990's.

Is it something worth checking out?

They had another John figure, I forget which artist the design was based on. This one came with the Lantern and looked more like John imo, so I decided to get this one along with the Godhead HC.

I never read any of that, but since those plots were never used again, you might want to save your money.

That costume looks to be from the Mosaic era.

I love how Alex Ross drew John

I would love nothing more than to whole-heartedly recommend The Darkstars to everyone on this thread who hasn't read it. But...

This series was an ensemble, and though John did get some great development and a fair amount of screen time, he was not always the star. I fear that enthusiastically recommending the book (which can be easily found in bargain bins everywhere) would only come back and bite me in the a$$.

For those who don't mind that Donna Troy was central to more covers than John, go for it! The book was sorely underrated and should have lasted longer than it did (32 issues).

I'm a few issues into Van Jensen & Bernard Chang's GLCorps run. It's been great so far...until the $#!++y Lights Out crossover derailed things. My next issue is the Zero Hour flashback to John's Marine Corps days. Looking forward to it.

Thanks for the recommendation, guys!

Yeah, bad crossovers were the only problem with this run. Jensen clearly had great ideas that he should have been more time to implement. At the end of his run, he wrote an article on ComicVine that mentioned how he visited boards to see what fans wanted. And I think he delivered the best he could for the environment he was in. Editorial really shot itself in the foot here by trying to have events all the time instead of letting the writers tell their own stories.

The article by Jensen is worth the read too: https://comicvine.gamespot.com/artic...n/1100-151382/.

This connection/idea first popped into my head when I read Black Lightning: Year One several years ago. It's cool to see that idea was actually a real plan at one point.

Dat art O_o

Yes, Darkstars was kinda like a gritty fun LOSH-esq title and Warrior was a really fun b-movie series( Johns phasing this aspect from Guy is on the list of many reasons why I find him to be a hack writer who beats off to silver age tripe )
