Who is the artist?

That's the second time we've seen Bumblebee with that hairstyle and I dig it!.

Anyway onto John, he looks good here. Do you guys like John with the metallic green on his suit? Some artists draw it like that while others just make it fabric. I prefer fabric but the wrist guards can be either.

Looks like Ken Lashley

[AtheistInRed]

I prefer fabric as well.

That looks awesome.

Majors is a fine pick for John. I really hope he's the co-anchor on the JL Corps show, likely with Hal and they each get to shine, possibly with Jess being the new recruit who becomes the audience PoV alongside them as a triumvirate.

As for the comics, I want an ongoing less and more of a mini/maxi with someone who really, really has a good idea for John. I feel like that will be allowed to play out, have a satisfying conclusion and not get upended by sales/events the way a lot of comics do. The current GL series doesn't, but that's because it's Morrison so that outlier can't really be factored in. Strange Adventures, Far Sector, those are the models I think John would be best served by right now. Rather than being able to say "issues x through y before z happened were great," having a trade to keep in book stores will do a lot more for John.

Outside of Morrison-level talent chomping at the bit to write John, an ongoing feels like something that would get hard derailed. Look at Hawkman and Supergirl. Fan-favorite characters who had a relatively low-selling title that was unceremoniously hijacked by a big event turning its hero into a villain for a little while. Hawkman did as well as possible with that handicap and Supergirl never recovered, and Hawkman is the softer IP, with John as GL in the middle if not closer to Supergirl in iconography. I don't trust the Event Comics cycle with John right now. Give him his own little pocket of the universe to just tell a great story in.

I agree. I would admit that I am a little worried that if John does get a book, would it be a high profile creative team or not. The Green Lantern franchise just isn't there as it used to be. If he does get an ongoing, that would be great, but there's a good chance it may end at some point if the writer isn't a high profile. And if his book gets cancelled, they may not give John another chance again, unlike the other GL characters. It may be more safe for John to have a limited series and go from there.

The writer turning out to be a pedophile killed any chance of that. That Wonder Woman OGN from 2011 still hasn't come out 9 years later cuz the artist got outed as a sick fuck.

Huh? Do you mean the Morrison/Paquette one?

[Robanker]

Huh? Do you mean the Morrison/Paquette one?

Two volumes have been released, so it can't be that one. Both are also still working at DC.

No, the Justinano one.

this would be an awesome design for John if he were to become a Guardian or (conversely) a Hal!Parallax style character

I'm fine with either but I prefer the metallic sheen because it adds an otherworldly somewhat alien vibe to the costume; even if superficially. the GL are space heroes, I like a little cheese to emphasize the spacey-ness of it all.

That metallic design looks really good there on John Stewart
