Green Lantern Corps #61


Time to start the reclamation project on John Stewart! After blasting his second planet to bits (quite an impressive accomplishment, most people only kill one planet), Stewart is spending a lot of time on his own. As it turns out, the rest of the corps isn't too pleased with Stewart destroying the only planetary body to wear a GL ring.

The only lanterns who are as unpopular are all the random rookies who got their rings while Mogo was possessed. One of them is pretty bummed that she won't get to patrol the spaceways, and links up with Stewart to try and show that she deserves the ring.

Tony Bedard's story is the kind of done-in-one I remember from childhood GL comics. Weird aliens, a relatable conflict, and the corps swooping in to make things right with some constructs and good ideas. These types of issues don't happen a lot anymore, but I was entertained seeing the GL Corps do its real job rather than fight with other colors of the rainbow. It's a nice break!

Oh, that sounds good, maybe I show dip my toes into the GL books again.

I bet John snogs the rookie!
