If DC Comics were to establish a consistent best friend for Green Lantern John Stewart in-and-out of comics, who would you like it to be? (Dark Legion)

What do you think of the official DCU Lantern design used by DC Comics John Stewart? Do you think all characters have the same Lantern design or would they each have different designs?

One thing that I learned from reading John focused stories - he’s way better when he’s away from teams and other GLs

He’s so much better when he isn’t written in groups.

War Journal a story that gave him his own supporting cast. Didnt require for him to compete for page time and dialogue bubbles with any one else was loads better

Even though Lost Army didnt get to be written to its completion according to Cullen Bunn. That book was loads better when it was just John leading his own little crew of GLs

Same for his time alone in Mosaic. The characters infinitely better when the writers just focused on him and not another group of GLs. Or with making the other core four look important. I enjoy his solo stories also way more.

Id love an ongoing thats just John being a space cop/soldier on his own. Meeting new characters and making his own supporting cast without being weighed down by the GL mythos requiring him to play second fiddle/cheerleader to Hal, Mullen, Kid Lantern, other Justice Leaguers or Kyle.

If I had to pick a specific writer to make a series where its just him exploring space. And the stakes are way lower. (No world ending nonsense. Or Lantern battery bullshit)

Id probably pick someone like Ram V with art by Momoko or Evan Cagle. Just John being the lead and MC in a space opera

The Rise of John Stewart as the Face of Green Lantern

Today I’m talking about why John Stewart is becoming the face of Green Lantern for DC Comics and so many fans. From the impact of the Justice League Unlimited era to the way audiences connected with his personality, leadership, and presence, John Stewart’s rise says a lot about how comic book characters evolve beyond their original status quo.

Was this inevitable? Did Hal Jordan lose cultural ground? And why does John Stewart resonate so strongly with an entire generation of comic and cartoon fans?

I’m breaking down my thoughts on the history of the Green Lantern franchise, fan perception, representation, animation, and why John Stewart feels like the definitive Lantern to many people today, and why DC is ultimately choosing him to lead the way for Green Lantern moving forward.

While discussing this, I’m inking my own independent comic series, Zatswan, a cosmic multiversal sci-fi adventure featuring original characters, massive stakes, and cosmic romance. If you enjoy discussions about comics, art, worldbuilding, and independent creators building something from the ground up, you’re in the right place.

Do you think they are holding off on using the official Green Lantern costumes until the very end of the season? Every teaser photo I see of DC Comics John Stewart and Hal Jordan just has them in regular clothes.
