harleyquinn12's Green Lantern #49 - Semper Fi review

    Not exactly what I expected.


    Well,Im glad John Stewart gets his own issue,as theyve sorta been hinting at giving him the spotlight in the last couple issues. I am a huge John fan,but this isn't exactly what I was hoping for. What we do get is mostly random Black Lanterns fighting him.  Sadly,the only two i recognized were Driq and Katma Tui. The issue didn't really have much of a cliffhanger,but at least the art was ok. I actually enjoyed the backup tale more than the main story,I love the sorta banter bewtween The Atom and Black Lantern Jean Loring. I love jean Loring,so it was nice seeing her. The art on this was nice,I love the colors on Mera.Overall,I think John Stewart could've been better in this issue,but the backup story makes up for the main story. Also,no Fatality in this,I wish she was here but,ah well.

           While reading through the entire Blackest Night story arc of Green Lantern this issue stood out to me. It was not about Hal Jordan, but instead about John Stewart. While nothing to move the overall Blackest Night story happened we got a closer look at the backstory of John. We see him deal with and overcome his inner fears and its an interesting journey. We see him as a soldier where you get  closer look at his character and motivation. He battles some Black Lanterns by creating an army of ...
