Far Sector might be one of the most important series on the shelf today. While it clearly went into things looking to discuss real-world issues, those issues have flared up and the comic has echoed moments we're seeing played out in real time. While the lack of escapism might seem like a negative, it in fact feels like a positive. The comic is helping me process reality and work through what we're seeing and experiencing. This series was already one of the best being released, it might now be one of the most important. Read Full Review

With every issue Far Sector becomes a more fascinating comic book to be following. N.K. Jemisin and Jamal Campbell work on Far Sector #6 continues that trend. By slowing things down a bit Jemisin and Campbell give Green Lantern Jo Mullein the chance to take in everything she has experienced in this story thus far. It sets the stage for even more bigger things to take place in future issues as we uncover what is really going on in Far Sector along with Green Lantern Jo Mullein. Read Full Review

Far Sector's focus on character and socio-political issues and phenomenal art continue to be a winning combination. Read Full Review

Overall, Far Sector #6 made the wait for this issue worth it. Real problems that we can connect with, and real problems that not many books out there are bold enough to address. Read Full Review

For a comic about a race who has chosen to genetically-suppress their emotions, this issue is packed with emotion as Sojourner Mullein makes the questionable choice of giving into her feelings of loneliness as changing her relationship of Councillor Marth who is enjoying a bit of an emotional reprieve leading him to consider his recent actions which Sojourner found so despicable.

With the one-two punch of COVID-19 and the death of George Floyd, Far Sector #6 doesn't just have its finger on the pulse of what's going on today" it's downright prescient. And perhaps most importantly, it doesn't make moves to try to solve today's injustices in the span of 20 pages, but instead allows itself " and its readers " the space to absorb and digest what's going on. It'll take a lot more than just one Green Lantern to solve the problems that our real world faces today, but if Sojourner Mullein can shed even a little bit of light to yield some deeper understanding, then you'll see why this book is more than just another superhero beat-'em-up.

Far Sector #6 is powerful issue. It develops some of the themes that have run through the entire series in a deeper way. Despite Jo's questionable decision to give in to her emotions, the exploration of emotions is smart and insightful. Every issue can't be like this, but it's great when it happens. The release of this issue coincides with a pivotal moment of civil unrest as well, amplifying the impact even more so. Read Full Review

A good issue although it certainly sits on its hands a bit when it comes to the bigger plot. The journey Jo is going through is an incredible one and I can't wait to see how her actions as a cop on Earth and doing her best as a Green Lantern play out. Read Full Review

I might not personally enjoy some of the story choices this issue, but I can see why they happened and all of it is done well. This is a good issue for the midway point of this series. Read Full Review

Jamal Campbell delivers some beautiful, atmospheric visuals. The character moments are framed perfectly and the reader becomes immersed in the details of those moments. There is a grace and fluidity to the panels and that is nowhere more evident than in the action scenes at the end of the issue. Read Full Review

When taken as a whole, this series Far Sector is perhaps the boldest, freshest set of ideas DC Comics has seen since Grant Morrison was on JLA or Vertigo was at its height. Read Full Review

Best issue yet. Jemisin writes so fluidly and I really liked the Jo/Marth dynamic

great art

Another Banger!

Great character interactions, and the story really feels like its clicking.

This was probably my favourite issue in a while, likely because there was almost nobody around to drive me insane by having inexplicable emotions. On the other hand, I don’t care about the romance.

Well, I'm glad we could slow down the plot to focus on obligatory romance. That may be a sassy thing to say, but I'm a sassy man.

This issue has some redeeming qualities. Like, for instance, there's not too many characters in this one and the ones that are around have reason for being emotive. So, this issue doesn't fall into the usual trap this series does where the whole Emotional Exploit plot line is kind of a farce.

Is this the most original story? No. Is it predictable? Yes. I don't see much special in this comic. It has good art (It is sometimes messy. Maybe Jamal Campbell is getting rushed.) and with what's happening in the US, and is now spreading to Canada and the UK, at least, it is somewhat prescient. Unfortunately, when you tackle something like this, it's important that you don't dumb it down or somehow lessen the impact of it. I think this series does that? Is that a controversial opinion? Probably. But I don't care. I already feel myself having to bob and weave through the pitfalls of judgment from the people I know will read this.

My opinions and how they relate to this series' use of these themes are too complicated and boring for this review. I just feel like it's not doing enough. It's not exploring the roots of the problem, even with the whole colonization backstory. It's just been overly simplified. I guess to some people it is as simple as this comic is making it, but not for me. And as I sassily mentioned earlier, they're taking time for an obligatory romance with the enemy. Jo is now getting calls from every female superhero from the 90s. It's taking time away from a metaphorical alien story that couldn't be kept straight in the last 5 issues, and severely needs more development and nuance for my tastes. more

How are sales going? BWAA HA HA HA! This crapfest series will be %$^ canned in a few months. Can't wait as this series really is crap.
