Even if he does die, he will come back to life before the end of the year.
BattlinMurdock - 6/17/2012, 10:34 AM
The second page looks like he's opening up for a Backstreet Boys concert.

@BattlinMurdock

I'd definitely have to concur.

The only thing that CERTAIN New 52 comics has over (most, only MOST) marvel comics is their artwork. This is sometimes ten-folds better than some of the art for the AvX storyline...

Once again the Black Green lantern on Trail. How many times has this happen? I like John and happy to see him in the lime light but come on now, again.
elcaballerooscuro92 - 6/17/2012, 10:50 AM
yeah kill the black man that's not racist at all
NewSuperAvengerCBM - 6/17/2012, 10:53 AM
Is DC becoming racist?
Logan074 - 6/17/2012, 11:25 AM
Do remember, they killed the white man (Hal Jordan) first years ago. Guess that was ok. But when something happens to a Black member, there are rants of racism. Where was that when Hall died?
PaulRom - 6/17/2012, 11:26 AM
DC copying Marvel? I thought it was the other way around.
alexi52 - 6/17/2012, 11:28 AM
theCrisisking@ except jon stewart is the only black green lantern
Ichaos - 6/17/2012, 11:32 AM
So with the new 52 is John Stewart Earth's Green Lantern also?

Again I hate his name. I immediately see the Daily Show guy in my mind in green tights.

I doubt the death sentence is racist especially in context of the fact there are dozens and dozens of actual races in the Lantern Corps.

I have no idea how this story emerged but it seems Stewart willingly confessed for some reason and isn't fighting it. There must be a lot more to this story line
Ichaos - 6/17/2012, 11:34 AM
@PaulRom Marvel from the start took Superheroes and gave them flaws and humanized them. DC has been recently copying that it seems but doing it poorly in many situations.
marvel72 - 6/17/2012, 11:47 AM
marvel & dc aren't exactly copying each other,every comic company wants their version of superman so they use that basic template.

make a character that can fly,super strength & wear a cape & his automatically a superman rip off.

both companies have created so many characters over the years it would be pretty much impossible to create an original character.
longbowhunter - 6/17/2012, 11:48 AM
Jesus Christ, stop with all the is it racist? Are they copying Marvel? Tell me how this is copying Marvel. If anything DC is copying themselves. Just last year John killed Mogo. Now he's offed another lantern. John Stewart has been put through the ringer numerous times. That's nothing new.
REDSTORM - 6/17/2012, 11:57 AM
This isn't the first time John has been put on trial for doing what he had to do. It's not racist. It's his character .


Also, I wish they would give Guy the costume he had in Young Justice.
Tevii - 6/17/2012, 12:15 PM
Racist? Really? How stupid to say that. Hey lets never make a black man die or be the bad guy because that would be racist. Doesnt that whiny garbage get old? EVER?
What kind of WONDERFUL storytelling do you want then? Hell you even KNOW Stewart isnt dying. But hey lets WHINE abiout racism IN EVERYTHING even when it doesnt exist in what your crying about. Let it go already. That card isnt going to work forever
jazzman - 6/17/2012, 12:18 PM
some of u are really getting on my nerve

all characters from different race end up dying and come back again.
Tevii - 6/17/2012, 12:23 PM
You want racism in comics? Then it's in the changing every white character and making them black trend. That stupid crap wouldnt work on changing black characters white like Black Panther. The uproar from the black community would stop that. But the double standard that is the US has everyone trained to accept when they eliminate a white character and make them black.
But does that stop the crying? Of course not.
But now they have a cool storyline about a cool character doing something that his character would really do, and now its racist. wah wah wah... boo hoo. You want a story where John Stewart is the smartest guy in the universe, he takes over the Corps because he's just too good to be just a member.. etc... Get real MORONs. Bad things have to happen to characters to create DRAMA. Something for the character to overcome. Its not racist idiots, its storytelling
REDSTORM - 6/17/2012, 12:28 PM
Maybe we should just drop the whole racism argument right now before it gets even uglier.
SteveRogersSon - 6/17/2012, 1:31 PM
this is aything but Racist...Man you people need something else to do for a hobby instead of spinning everything into some sort of fight...DC copying Marvel..vice versa...Dumb I tell ya..D U M B
hope420 - 6/17/2012, 1:34 PM
That dialog is cheeeeeeessssy!
lukasbolander - 6/17/2012, 1:40 PM
Nice spoilers in the title
Triptheorist - 6/17/2012, 3:51 PM
If the glove does not fit, you must acquit.
Boogie138 - 6/17/2012, 4:20 PM
I just glad to see john up front in a story. he is by far my fav green latern
BattlinMurdock - 6/17/2012, 4:25 PM
They made one Green Lantern gay, they're killing off another, and they put Hal Jordan in that awful movie...

The Corps is making lots of detrimental decisions...

(I'm one of those "Why make a long-standing character gay when you can just make a new one?" folk. After all, there's, what, four Green Lanterns? You could easily just introduce a new one and make him gay.)
ISeeStupidPeople - 6/17/2012, 4:44 PM
Huh.

Only familiar with his Justice League cartoon version -- is this worth reading?I liked the cartoon version but never bothered to catch up on his comic book persona.
CrashTest - 6/17/2012, 6:26 PM
I don't think DC is being racist, but this story line with John is played out. I hope they go somewhere good with it.
HarrisonBergeron - 6/17/2012, 6:55 PM
The 'Third Army' arc, which this is apart of, involves all of the Lantern books. Red Lanterns isn't quite as important as the other three, but the other three are equally important if you want the whole story.
longbowhunter - 6/17/2012, 7:55 PM
@Intruder, Ummm...Geoff Johns isnt even the one writing this.
arachnidzpr7 - 6/18/2012, 12:24 AM
DC is sick in the head
TheSoulEater - 6/18/2012, 2:47 AM
This had better not be to make room for the new Muslim one.

Not cause I don't like the new muslim one, its just that would be a stupid reason to kill off John
Nightmare7 - 6/18/2012, 3:14 AM
I hear Alan Scott is going to trade places with John,because he doesn't mind doing time with other men at all!Lmao!
DaneE5R - 6/18/2012, 4:23 AM
Geoff Johns brought Green Lantern to prominence. That's pretty much literally the opposite of ruining.

There's been an embarrassing amount of stupid comments in this thread, from racism claims to homophobic remarks that hardly even correlate. I hope some day the people who say this shit recognize their idiocy and correct it for the betterment of themselves, and for mankind in general.
thatcoldblackcloud - 6/18/2012, 9:38 AM
F*CKING YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWNNNNN!
ralfinader - 6/18/2012, 11:16 AM
Green lantern is stupid now, with the rainbow corps. Hopefully when the next writer takes over they can retcon this shit out.
