eu amei essa capaaaa

mas nao gostei dele ter se relacionado com outras mulheres achei que no final ela ja tinha entendido quem ele era e como se sentia

fiquei muito interessada nos outros membros da sociedade da justiça

I recently had the chance to sit down with writer Tim Sheridan to discuss the finale of Alan Scott: The Green Lantern, & now that I’ve read the issue, I can say that it’s a masterclass in landing a satisfying conclusion to a story. Sheridan, artist Cian Tormey, colorist Matt Herms, & lettered Lucas Gattoni have crafted a tale that is epic in scope, intimate in character development & visually complex.

The artwork is stunning, w/ vibrant colors & dynamic action sequences that showcase Alan’s evolving mastery of his powers. But it’s the heart & soul of the story that truly shines, as Alan Scott comes to terms with his & and finds a new sense of purpose across timelines.

Over these six issues, Sheridan crafted a deeply human story of a man’s struggle to come to accept & love himself in a world that tells him he shouldn’t. With sensitivity and nuance, Sheridan explored themes of identity, acceptance, & relationships, creating a narrative that was both personal & universal. This is a story that will resonate w/ anyone, not just queer people, & it’s a testament to the power of comics to inspire & uplift. As Sheridan alluded in our interview, this story is a love letter to Alan Scott. Don’t miss out on this incredible finale - it’s a must-read!

I hope this isn’t the end for Alan Scott, & that DC continues to invest in these Golden Age heroes as new readers continue to discover them for the first time. There’s still so much potential for growth & exploration w/ these characters, & I’d love to see what the future holds for Alan & the rest of the Justice Society.

Generic ending, a bit bleugh.

I liked what this series went for, defo happy I gave it a shot. It’s a very unique read, cool blend of espionage and sci-fi and fantasy, I like this blend.

The dialogue is just so far from peak, man. There’s so much room to improve here with how it’s used as a narrative tool.

But overall, worthwhile read I’ll return to not too often, if at all.

First I learned that this takes place on world war ll not the cold war like i previously said so, sorry about that, now the actual story was good, im glad the fight didnt take up many pages, i liked the conversation alan and vladimir had when he was incarcerated about how they brainwashed him and he wasnt truly a villain, overall im glad this series exists, the final speech alan makes to that goverment agent doesnt really make sense considering he didnt come out until he was way older, and even though they try explaining it the explanation still doesnt fully makes sense, but regardless they finally did something with alan being gay apart from the pride specials and I think they handled it very well, and this run made me like alan a lot and made me wish for future stories with him and the golden age heroes in general on the future

I loved the ending and what better way to use you time travel powers. Don’t change things, that just leads to more trouble. See the things you missed the first time round. That way you’ll be there when they really need you.

"I'm the villain."

Oh. Thanks.

I had a lot of enthusiasm for this miniseries early on, but I just don't think the follow-through is very good. Oh well.
