Poor John. Poor, poor John.

Excellent comic book. It wraps up this last year or so of GLC wonderfully. It's a really beautiful story. This is John angsting done right. Not... total left field stuff, like killing his wife out of nowhere, or writing him WAY out of character so he can fail to save a planet. This story was actually really well thought out and constructed, and it all made total sense.
And that art... my word *___*
Love this creative team!
Yeah, I noticed how it discredits GL #20, too. That was awesome! Go, Van Jensen!Last edited by Star-Lantern; 08-13-2014, 10:26 PM.

Breaking up John and Fatality is regression in my book and takes the character back to square one. It's almost like they don't know what to do with him at this point. Its like they are trying so hard to eliminate the stuff from GL 20 that they process of doing so just seems random to me.
The only way this will makes sense is if the ring is also the reason behind Carol having feelings for Kyle.Last edited by "Chosen"; 08-14-2014, 03:17 PM.

I was afraid we'd discover that Fatality had been replaced BEFORE she and John ever became an item, and there was never actually a relationship. In a way this is worse for John, because it maintains the relationship's existence but declares that it was a fraud. John just can't catch a break, can he?

So, basically, they're undoing something that was dumb. They're pretty gracious about it, because they took over a year to organically tell a good story about it. Johns likely would have done something much more clumsy and disrespectful to the previous creators' work.Last edited by Star-Lantern; 08-14-2014, 05:56 PM.

Ok so you spend a year building up a relationship between two characters only to have that end in a few panels. That doesn't seem like good planning.
Originally John was suppose to die, right? Then changed last minute. So I'm not sure they know what they want to do with him.
This is character regression. For years people have complained about John moping over the lose of katma tui, the destruction of Xanshi, blowing up mogo. He finally finds happiness and it's taken away from him in a few panels.
That retcon was lame, and if it was another writer that did this, it would've been slammed. So now that the relationship is over, it was nothing of interest? Was it always like this? Don't think so.
Now he's back to square one, moping again.Last edited by "Chosen"; 08-14-2014, 06:21 PM.

I loved how tragedy in John's past was woven all throughout Mosaic, but it didn't make him "broken down" or "sad".
