A new direction for the Corps?
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Earth’s new Green Lantern is a huge jerk — and that may end up being a good thing. It is a season of change for the Green Lantern Corps: the once-independent organization is under new management. The Corps new bosses have their own way of doing things, and that means appointing Earth a new Green Lantern, one who follows orders and toes the line.
John Stewart meets this new Lantern in Green Lantern: War Journal #1 by Philip Kennedy Johnson, Montos, Adriano Lucas, and Dave Sharpe. Former Green Lantern John Stewart is helping his mother with repairs of her house, but when he steps outside for a breath of fresh air, he is imprisoned in green chains. They were created by the new Green Lantern Varron, who informs Stewart that his ring is contraband, and he must surrender it.
Varron threatens Stewart’s house, provoking him further. Stewart draws on the power within himself — no ring required — to overpower Varron, who quickly surrenders. Stewart sends Varron packing along with a message to the United Planets and the “fake Lanterns” to leave him alone.The Green Lantern Corps Is Undergoing Massive Changes Stewart has a right to feel disenfranchised.
However, the United Planets cannot let power like Stewart’s go unchecked. "Lantern" Varron is the vanguard of the UP’s watered-down version of the once venerable Green Lantern Corps. It's apparent that Varron blindly follows orders and is over-confident in his power. He talks a good game, but when confronted by John's power and experience, Varron immediately folds.
What Is the Green Lantern Corps' Future? Currently, Earth’s former Green Lanterns are pursuing their own agendas, but confrontations between them and the new, UP-sanctioned Corps are inevitable. John Stewart already has a low opinion of them, and Varron merely reinforces John's doubts. It's not difficult to guess what Hal Jordan will think; Hal built a career on being a maverick, which would put him immediately at odds with the UP.
