Funny, that retcon has never clicked in my head. When I think of Kyle's origin, I definitely think "you will have to do."

Zing!!!!

Furthermore, in the trailer, the Guardian was specifically looking for John Stewart.

I'm guessing that Altbacker and Semper used Secret Origins Vol. 3 #9 for inspiration. John was not only an former Marine in that version, but the GotU watched him & offered him the ring without John being a back-up.

It's possible, but I'm not sure about that.

Anyone making a John Stewart origin these days would likely incorporate his being a Marine. Likewise, anyone doing a John Stewart origin these days would likely not make him a reserve because they would probably want to go right into using him as a regularly active Lantern.

I'm so old I remember when John was an Architect and had his own company.

Haha, yeah, and he had that blue girlfriend Merayn from the Darkstars.
John actually has some stuff of his own that could be mined if creators cared to look and make something of it, and if they were talented enough to expand on it in creative ways (spoiler: they're usually not). His past as a Darkstar, including his relationship with Merayn. HIs rivalry with Grayven, the New God who broke his back. His experience fighting Sector 3600, and his connection to Appa Ali Apsa.

It's funny because it isn't even that hard to research this. You can find his publication history on Comicvine, and these days, you can basically track all of the issues down and read them for free on the internet without looking too hard.

If someone paid me to make John Stewart a more worthwhile character in his own right, that's exactly what I would do (though I wouldn't need to because I'm already familiar with all the material). I would take a look at what is already there and expand upon it. There really isn't even a need to take Hal, Kyle, or whoever else's material.

In publishing, a frequently used tactic is that the front list is supposed to sell the back list. That basically means new stuff is supposed to sell old stuff. You make it so you keep your work accessible while making people want to go back and research the history of what they're reading about. That's how you build more passionate fans and deeper mythology.

I guess the problem with John is that, outside the Justice League toons, none of his stories are famous enough for many people to give them the time of day...so they don't.

I feel like Mosaic DESERVED to be, but even I have to acknowledge that it isn't.

I miss that character a lot. I'd be overjoyed to see her reappear.

The last two years would have been the perfect opportunity for DC to collect and reprint Mosaic. That was something that I hoped would happen for years, but I fully understand why DC can't promote it in any way now.

Thanks, marked my calendar. Assuming I have any money left after GFest this weekend or that I don't feel extra poor from the Haslab backing of the Joe Classified HISS Tank due in August, I will get it.

I've seen the photos of that piece. It's expensive, but it's gorgeous.

in case anyone wants to see this movie FOR FREE youTube has enough clips of it that you'll know how it starts, what's in the middle and how it ends (with everything going up best to test-drive before you buy)

Apparently they tweaked a lot of stuff so they wouldn't have to pay Ethan Van Sciver any money?

Those are some interesting points and would explain the seemingly unnecessary change of the Sinestro Corps symbol. Lyssa Drak is the only Sinestro Corps member aside from Sinestro that I recognized in the film. Or at least that I remember. I'm not sure who made her. I remember her debuting in an issue that Ivan Reis drew, but I suppose Van Sciver could have done the concept art. I'm not sure.

I actually saw the movie and posted a video review here.

There aren't any big spoilers except that Hal Jordan gets terribly drug through the mud. Hal Jordan fans will likely hate the movie. As a movie itself, I didn't find it all that good.
