Ever since the Justice League animated show John Stewart has been Green Lantern in my mind’s eye. He’s the first and only one I knew for years. In many ways that’s why this book. I was curious how comic books translated to novels. And I must say this reads like it could possibly air as an episode on the Justice League cartoon (that has to be the highest compliment I can make, right?). Comic booky, stereotypical and fun(?).
I’m reminded of the episode from Teen Titans(Original) Cyborg the Barbarian for all those DC animated buffs like myself.
The writing won’t floor you, the characters are true, it has a fanciful quality to it and not long by any means. Nothing new, however, given that my motivation for reading is at an all-time low and I managed to finish and say decently nice things has some weight to it. It does have John Stewart. Alas, I like what I like.
