On June 22, 2021, DC recognizes this trailblazer with a hardcover collection of his greatest adventures! Check out the full article over on DCComics.com now!

John Stewart is a bit of an odd character for me. He’s a favorite character of mine, but in concept only.
How he’s been portrayed in the comics (for the most part), and in the various animated series, I’m ambivalent towards… or to be more exact, I’m indifferent.
How I envision him in my mind is who John Stewart is to me.
Interesting that there’s going to be an essay on John Stewart by John Ridley in this collection. I’m curious to read that.
Much in the way that Joker gave me my “ideal,” or definitive, take on the character of the Joker, I suspect it’ll take a film to give me the same for John Stewart.
So my definitive John Stewart will most likely come from a Green Lantern movie.
And of course the Protagonist from Tenet as my fan cast for John Stewart.
