Lantern Shepherd and Kyle Rayner discover the shocking history of the ancient Dark Star of the Fenn! Meanwhile, John Stewart is trapped in its orbit, trying desperately to save his mysterious new allies from the undead First World armies searching for him! Can John prevent them from escaping the Dark Star and overrunning the universe? And can Shepherd find John in time to save his family from the mysterious new force now threatening the Earth, the shapeshifting STAR SHROUD?
One thing I really like here is that the story delves into some of the stranger periods of John's life, including his time with the Darkstars and his evolution into a God in the previous run. There are only three issues left, but this is one of the best stories the character has had in a long time. Read Full Review
Montos crafts some beautiful art throughout the issue. The visuals are exciting and brilliantly capture the tension and suspense of the tory. Read Full Review
War Journal is just a quality comic. It's not upending the universe. All it does is allow Johnson, Montos and the rest of the creative team a viable platform to showcase John Stewart with some fresh and thrilling new threats. Read Full Review
The issue sticks the landing though, bringing everything to a place that you can get back on board if you perhaps got a bit lost, but those who dive into all the threads and details along the way will once again be rewarded, and I can't wait to see what's right around the corner. Read Full Review
This comic is sick, PKJ is killing the story, the art from Montoya is quietly the best art from DC imo, and every time this book drops it’s just a very fun read. Even these more verbose issues keeps you engaged.
PKJ is cooking with fire in this series. Between his story telling (and trying to clean up some of the BS other writers did with John), and the epic art of Montos (LOVE the comic horror interpretations), this series is one of the best at DC currently.
Right now if you like the Green Lanterns you are having a great time. Sadly due to sales I dont think this series will survive into the next DC phase of absolute power but I wish it did. I just love everything about the story. The lore and fights are great. It really feels like a battle field and I love John as a solider again leading troops and trying to survive.
