All signs lead them to believe it has something to do with the Rann and Thangarians. However, on their arrival on the planet, they find the Lanterns and the city destroyed. They come up with the idea of visiting Oa so John can learn how to remove the ring, once and for all. Bemused about what he should do, the ring flies him up to the JL Watchtower, where he meets the members on watch - Green Arrow, Martian Manhunter, and Vixen. Altbacker and Semper's GL is so different from the original that it alters how he controls the ring and creates his constructs. And in all truth, it makes little sense for the Guardians Of Oa to choose this John Stewart as a Green Lantern. If it wasn't for the bum, he saves from getting his ass incinerated by a couple of well-intentioned thugs, we'd be hard pushed to see the goodness in the man. We watch as he nearly snaps a guy's neck for trying to ask him to move aside. After leaving the marines, he has trouble readjusting to life on civvy street. This John Stewart has more issues than Guy Gardner, who at least fights his anger and fast temper. And that is the second significant mistake the writers make. He is a sniper who thinks nothing of killing the enemy. At the story's beginning, we see him stationed in an overseas warzone. This John Stewart is a cold-blooded killer. Sadly, by doing so they destroy the chances of those superior stories making it to the screen, as they have totally reshaped the continuity (the writers' first fundamental mistake) - something DC is excellent at doing in their Crisis stories. However, Ernie Altbacker and John Semper weave an intriguing story out of those stories' primary elements. Any of these storylines would have made a decent movie in its own right. You have the Rann and Thanagarian War - The Sinestro Corp - and Parallax. The writers of this little masterpiece have stolen stories from throughout the DC Universe. Though, it shouldn't be, as it bastardises other DC storylines to bring you a newly rehashed origin story of the John Stewart Green Lantern. There have been some exceptions to the rules, and GL-Beware My Power is one of them. In all honesty, their series of the nineties and naughties were far superior to anything that has come after. Greetings And Salutations, and welcome to my review of Green Lantern - Beware My Power here's the breakdown of my ratings: Story: 1.50Įnjoyment: 1.25 TOTAL: 6.75 out of 10.00 DC Comics have made some errors in their progression onto the screen.
