A series with no originality at all. All plots are dull. All the things Geoff Thorne does to John Stewart happened before on other lanterns. He is just trying to steal Hal/Kyle's achievements and thinks that would make John Stewart a great character instead of a pathetic copycat. And just thinking about Thorne really think dragging Jack Kirby into this issue can make his poor book work.

Green Lantern #12

By: Geoffrey Thorne, Tom Raney
Released: Apr 13, 2022

As the dust settles after the battle with the Anti-Guardian, John Stewart, Jo Mullein, and the rest of the Corps pick up the pieces and adjust to their new status quo. The day might be saved, but there's still plenty of work to be done. Everything you know about Green Lanterns is about to change!

What a terrible ending to this series. John ends up being a "chosen one" God like character that cannot die - making a meh character into one that is even less interesting.

Kyle and Guy remain in limbo, and the Guardians are dead once again. What a mess! And the art - Santucci was fine but Tom Raney's style is just plain awful.

One can only hope that they let Throne do what more

Glad this is over with. How far the Green Lantern franchise has fallen.

So it took 12 issues to tell a story that the ending was predictable since issue 1? Horrible ending to a horrible series. -10

wow, don't know what to say about this one. well, I do. Felt like a 90s comic in the worst way. I give John's new status by the end of the issue, a year or two at most before it's forgotten and retconned.
The art looked more cartoony in this one too -

hoping for better things when the main GL title comes back at some point!

The good news: This is the last issue
The bad news: Geoffery Thorne will likely write a sequel
The great news: All these changes are only one good writer away from being undone.

What a farce.
This issue literally shows that the only way to make John Stewart shine is neutering and undermining Hal Jordan, which obvioudly is what Thorne's always wanted to do.

How, exactly, was Hal neutered? He has one of the last two functioning power rings? How was he undermined? Nothing happened to him. In fact, he's barely mentioned.

Wow, this is like DC handed the franchise over to a bad fan fiction writer.
