He’s a regular guy given great powers and interacting with alien surroundings. He does not have a glamorous day job, he’s not cut from the same cloth as Silver Age super heroes, and his personality, though deep, is not boisterous and far out. Seeing him among all the weird and wonderful aliens that are his Green Lantern Corps mates has a big effect, because, at first glance, he seems so regular. Pragmatic, yet always dreaming of better ways to build things. John Stewart is introspective, yet outspoken. No matter how far they try to stick him in the background, or how much some would like to get rid of him, or how much they try to force another Green Lantern on us, they will never erase what John Stewart means to us, and we will always be here willing to speak up on his behalf.īut why are we so invested in this character? It is another exhibition of support for the character of Green Lantern John Stewart, to show that no matter what his opposition tries to do, John Stewart will always have passionate fans.
This shows that we can and do make a difference! That is why this site is here. An Earth man chosen by the Guardians of the Universe to join the Green Lantern Corps – an intergalactic peace keeping force dedicated to preserving life throughout the universe. A new writer named Van Jensen was placed on Green Lantern Corps, and told one of the greatest John Stewart stories yet. Fialkov later came out and verified the rumors as true. Because of this large movement, the plans to kill John Stewart were reportedly nixed. Scores and scores of people stood up for Green Lantern John Stewart, proclaiming how great of a character he is, and the impact he has had on many people, and how important he is for being DC Comics’ first African American superhero. Perhaps certain officials at DC thought that after they intentionally sidelined John for so long that no one would care about him. When the news leaked a massive backlash swept across the internet. Multiple large comic book websites began reporting that the reason for Fialkov’s leaving involved an editorial mandate to kill John Stewart. Joshua Hale Fialkov, upcoming writer of the titles Green Lantern Corps and Red Lanterns hastily dropped both projects before a single issue of his shipped, citing “creative differences” as the cause. When Geoff Johns, who was Chief Creative Officer at DC by this time, was getting ready to release direct control of the Green Lantern franchise, mysterious things began happening. Years of marginalizing John Stewart apparently wasn’t enough. Feeling rather alienated, I eventually got fed up and stopped buying Green Lantern comics. One would think the comic creators would want take to advantage of John Stewart’s audience and capitalize on it, but the exact opposite was done. This didn’t make any sense to me, and it was greatly frustrating. Despite having strong visibility and a passionate fanbase, due to appearing on the milestone Justice League and Justice League Unlimited cartoons for five years, John was pushed out of sight in the comic books, while other versions of Green Lantern stepped to the fore. For so long, John Stewart was treated incredibly poorly. Seeing Green Lantern John Stewart shine so brightly motivated me to construct this site to support him and show appreciation for the character.Īlso, upon hearing the rumors that DC Comics had plans to kill the character in 2013, I was deeply bothered. Second is that his role in Van Jensen, Marcelo Maiolo, and Bernard Chang’s Green Lantern Corps excited me and I wanted a place to channel that excitement. First and foremost is that Green Lantern John Stewart is my favorite comic book character and I want a place where fans can celebrate him. There are a number of reasons why I made this website.
