Yea, exactly. It seems like that's the most logical choice. But it just goes to show you that TPTB over in the DC offices are fans first and business second. They'll make more of their personal decisions, rather than use the more logical choice for the betterment of the company.
Is that a preview of the ArtGerm cover?
That is his art from the looks of it. Looks really good. John Stewart looks upset in that picture. I just hope that some people don't try to downplay the character and calling him an "angry black man" stereotype from that cover. Other fans always used that argument to put down the character.
Anyways, I'm anxious to see the full reveal of that cover. I'm still surprised that John is one of the few characters that's getting a variant cover for DeathMetal, which is one of DC's top titles.
I'm starting to wonder whether this is a sign of John starring in his own book in some time in the future? If John does star in his own book, then that's more proof that Dan Didio was the man that held John Stewart back all of these years.
Btw, CBR made an article about Artgerm teasing that John Stewart variant cover. It's worth looking at.
I don't think it's a coincidence that we're seeing John more prominently featured since Didio left.
A few pages back, it looks like there was a tease for John original origin being tweaked, possibly to coincide with the HBO Green Lantern show. Hopefully he continues to become more prominent and developed and not play second fiddle. I like the idea of him being one of DC's Big 5 characters, especially given his fanbase and the times we're in.
ArtGerm doesn't draw male characters nearly as much as female ones, so it'll be cool to see how everything turns out. I'm thinking it'll be one of John's most iconic renderings yet.
I prefer Katma first, but come on DC, throw us a bone. Something!
