John Stewart: Green Lantern Appreciation 2022

The one shot does yep. Hopefully it will be “issue 0” for a new John series coming as part of the New Dawn initiative in Jan or soon after.

Yeah let's hope so. Redjack did say that the story is no filler, so that could probably be a hint.

[Jabare]

they still got John looking like a green glow stick

[John Venus]

Yeah, that's probably my least favorite John design.

[Mantis-Ray]

How did Kyle look as a White Lantern by comparison?

Was it also a glow-stick thing?

I think he was just wearing a white outfit instead of his normal green one. He didn't go full army troops from Toy Story like John has

Soooooooooooooo, John is now a part of the Fourth World as a New God? Am I paranoid thinking this means he is essentially off the board? That seemed to be what happened to Kyle.

Nope. John is NOT a New God. never was, never will be. More than once it's explicitly said IN THE STORY that he is NOT a god, new or otherwise. There are things gods can't do that the Ascended can and vice verse.

The Ascended are NOT gods; they're something else. For one thing, they are EXTREMELY rare. In addition, the Source tells John that HE, of all the John Stewarts in the omniverse, has done things none of the others have.

John is unique which is what all super-heroes should be

Thank you for explaining. Although it could be argued that New Gods are not truly Gods at all and closer to superheroes than deities

no. it couldn't.

the New Gods are gods. they've always been gods. they are not superheroes.

Great art, but I don't like it that John is sort of way in the back like that, but yet Jo is in the front. I barely noticed that he was in the cover. Given Cyborg's popularity, he should've been in a better position as well.

[Holt]

I really don't think there's much to it. This thread overthinks things sometimes.
