      Loved the art in this. Absolutely loved it. The coloring is usually good but some great Fatality moments provided both the artist and the colorist to really shine. Good issue.

        I find hilarious how the new writers are shitting on John´s final issue timeline.

          This. The panel where he breaches the one ship was beautiful.

            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!

              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.

                Really lame Fatality retcon.

                  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?

                    I don't see how any of this is random. It was clearly planned out right at the beginning of the new creative team's run. They know what they want to do with John, they just don't want to do with him what the previous creative team(s) was doing. Which, as a big fan of the character, was nothing of any interest, in my opinion. Also, this creative team isn't the one that had Fatality converted against her will and then paired her up romantically with John Stewart. I would prefer if John wasn't locked in a relationship that was a total fraud.

                    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.

                      Good point. Never really thought of it that way.

                        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.

                          I agree that the retcon was terrible. SL just pointed out another way of looking at it.

                            I'm just tired of seeing a broken down sad John Stewart.

                              Exactly. I don't really mind John having all this tragedy in his past (even if I'm not a big fan of some of the stories that gave us those tragedies) as long as he seems to be drawing on that tragedy for strength. But REALLY. He's already got enough tragedy to draw on for several lifetimes. Get on with the "drawing on it for strength" part and stop feeling like you need to keep piling on the tragedies...

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