John Stewart Appreciation Thread

[Anthony Shaw]

As we can see, Diana is looking at you straight in the eye when you say that, bruh.

What, she is?!

I'm no Hal Jordan, but lemme check my hair.....

Yes, please remove the JL from being such a sausage feast.

Agree. I'll throw in another female honestly.

Preview looks good. Excited for more John.

Yeah I don't see why Mera can't be an official member. She can rule Atlantis and still be on the Justice League. Works for Black Panther on the Avengers.

I think she would be a real good candidate for the Justice League. But I think Scott Snyder is focusing more on the animated Justice League nostalgia.

And the fact that he writes Barry like Wally and he barely uses Cyborg is proof of that.

Well then bring in Vixen and send Cyborg to the Outsiders for awhile.

I think Cyborg was editorially mandated, since his solo was cancelled not too long ago.

I see i'm not the only one who thinks this. Vic belongs on the Titans pure and simple, not the league to be their token cardboard cut-out black guy.

While they're at it they can add Green Arrow to complete the whole JLU vibe.

[Sodam Yat]

I guess I'm in the minority in favor of Kendra over Shayera. Oh well, if it were to happen I'd be happy either way.

What did you guys think of the New Talent Showcase story with John? I personally wasn't too crazy about it; it wasn't bad, it just fell flat for me. I like that they touched on his life on a earth and some social themes but the writing could definitely have been better.

I forgot to post this, but I read the comic. It's alright. I don't think the writer should've even mention Hal Jordan on this story. John is his own character and doesn't really need any character references to boost his profile. I agree with everything you said here.

cyborg hate is real lol, there's no difference him being a token on the league and the titans. and why does he have to be booted in order to add another black member? there isn't room for vic and vixen?

[Vampire Savior]

You guys want Mera, Vixen, more Cyborg, umm... who else? Green Arrow. Am I forgetting anyone else? I hope you have considered that the more characters are added to the Justice League, the less space there will be for the characters that are already there, like John Stewart. Personally, I think having a 15 or so character Justice League is a bad idea if you want the characters to do more than just showcase their particular individual super powers.

Idk maybe he is a token in the Titans comics, I'm used to him being a likeable character (ignoring all the built in problems, ex: lack of genitals, inability to feel/sleep, constantly being dismantled, etc.) on the 03 series I grew up with. There is a major problem because he was thrown on the league as "justification" for not having John Stewart on the team and so people wouldn't call DC racist. They claimed they liked Cyborg and all this, this, and that, knowing full well that they weren't going to treat him like an all star, but I'm gonna leave it there cuz I could go on for days lol.

It's not that he has to be booted for another black character, it just happens that Vixen was a recurring character on JLU, which is also why I threw in Green Arrow.

Speaking for myself, I don't have a problem with the gender balance on the this particular team (maybe due to nostalgia) but I think adding Vixen is enough. I've always been a fan of smaller teams for greater character development, but I do understand the desire for more female leaguers.....one more character shouldn't hurt.

There's a simple fix to this and that is just give less screen time to characters who appear in more books. Most are already in two teams.

DC isn't going to make room for Vixen and Cyborg we all know this. It's either or with this company sadly and if I had to choose it would be Vixen.
