Green Lantern: Mosaic 

I collected much of the series when I was younger. I remember it being different than what I was used to, but I loved seeing what Jones was doing with the Green Lantern universe and the Stewart character. It disappointed me to see the series end and it have no long-term impact on Stewart.

@@kevstubeification We're talking about a comic effectively cancelled at issue six but ran another 12 issues. That tells you editorial saw it as a one-off series but was nice enough to allow its completion.

@@kidzoki I'm glad they allowed it to be completed, but I always wished it had more impact on John Stewart's overall character. It's pretty unique, especially for the 90s.

Omg your right Far Sector does feel lile a spiritual sequel. I have all of Mosaic and Far Sector and did not notice till you said so.

bloody hell @Markuscriticus that google depressed the crap out of me. at least i still have my thriller album to listen to without an pro......ohFFS!!

Okay finished up, it was a pretty good character study, even if the ending was rushed. The times when John had to solve conflicts and explored his own psyche was when the series was at its best. John became a godlike being long before Hal even became Parallax. Also, found it ironic that the only way Rockwell could succeed was by teaming up with other aliens to overpower John.

It was faintly in my memory, but I had to verify.

What’s a pos abuser?

@@kulturkriget holy crap

That's what he's referring too. And yes, Gerard Jones is currently incarcerated.

that's because they don't sell. I'm pretty sure being the green lantern fan you are that you know that both kyle and john aren't the most popular. john comics all flop and do not perform as they waste DC money since nobody reads the comics as quite frankly nobody gives a shxt about him outside the justice league cartoon. and kyle, is awesome truly one of my favorite fictional characters ever, however he's in the shadow of the superior green lantern Hal Jordan . That's why most predecessors suck. Because they will always play second fiddle to the definitve version - Hal Jordan, Batman, Barry Allen, Kyle should have always been a indigo lantern, or something like that

@@legendary3952 you have a point but ill counter with the fact that beside Mosaic (which was the 90s just before the crash) we have never had a John solo GL book only stuff like New52 GL Corps which was a buddy cop book between Guy and John. That book also was the back up to Hals book which Geoff Johns was still writing. He hasn't had the chance to stand on his own without being tied to whatever Hal or Guy was doing. If John Stewart was made lead of the new main GL line I think DC can sell that. As for Kyle I understand what you mean, he is suffering a lighter version of what happened to Wally but i still think he can stand on his own. He should have stayed a white lantern rather than green or maybe just become Ion again.

matthew salavarria matthew salavarria we never had a John solo book because there isn’t a big appeal for him. In comparison to Hal Jordan or Kyle Rayner “If John was made lead of the GL like I think DC can sell that” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Maybe for 5 issues before getting cancelled buddy John fans come from the show From nostalgia Because people watched the children’s cartoon But in the comics he just is lame No depth, personality, or appeal Hal and John earned their popularity through their solo series. John hasn’t yet Dc also tried to do the John solo run recently but it flopped again He ain’t no Hal Jordan

Mosaic gave John's character a lot of depth imo n idk about the idea of only Hal and Kyle having appeal in GL. The Kyle Rayner collection recently got cancelled after 2 books while the Far Sector, a relatively new lantern, run is still ongoing. The GLC is huge ,exploring more characters might not be a bad idea.

Ragga Muffin I hate the idea of there being so much human Green Lanterns Even worse Only American human Green Lanterns Is it only Americans who have great willpower in DC Comics Is like it if they’re were human blue lanterns etc

If you want something experimental and GL id say read Tom Kings Omega Men mini series it involves Kyle and takes place right before DC Rebirth.

I was about to point this out, scanned the comments to see if anyone else had yet.

how i feel about most books mentioned on this channel

The only trade I could find was four issues long. No chance of this or Gerard Jones' other DC comic Martian Manhunter: American Secrets getting collected now.

@@jakepalermo9181 i was hunting down the Question in trade, it is actually cheaper to buy the original issues Mint🤣🤣

I agree with Alessio. Never read the series but judging by the stills in the video, this series suffers more from the horrible art as the big 2 were starting to hire mediocre artists & Rob Liefield clones in trying to cut costs in the creative department as they were heading into the comics industry's dark age. Even if the story is great, without at least a competent, consist artwork a series won't have long to live. It's a visual medium, the artwork will always trump story-telling. I am interested in checking out Jim Balent's early DC work in his short run on the series.

its a shame for the artist though, even if im not a fan of thier style, to know that because some absolute monster worked with you on something it will never see the light of day again must be quite depressing

In recent years the writer was convicted of quite a serious crime. With that in mind, it's unlikely DC will collect the material.

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@StrangeBrainPartsyes it is unfortunate this will not likely be collected. Why should readers and other creators like the artist be punished for the writers crimes. Also the way I see it he was convicted and served his sentence is it up to companies to punish as well as the law. Yes criminals may need to be kept from work where they may recommit crimes, but if we don’t allow criminals to re-integrate in some way back to at least relatively normal life won’t that just encourage them back to crime.
