Far Sector

Product Information

Jo is captured by security guards after she reveals herself as the Green Lantern to fight guards forcibly giving Switchoff to a resident. Murders can be committed for consolidating power, for profit, and in the case of psychopaths, for no reason at all, so it seems to be a bit unbelievable that merely turning off emotions would eliminate murder. When it’s not just generic energy blasts or shields, it’s all stuff that already exists: larger hands, capes, glasses, hats, sticks, wings, ninja stars, chairs, even the mech suit Ridley wore in Aliens! The servers come back online allowing voting to be completed; the referendum passes with a clear majority in favor of ending the Exploit, and the Council honors the result.

I will say, I appreciate that she was invested in immersing herself in the culture and understanding the people there. The last time I was that excited by an outside entering comics was back when Ta-Nehisi Coates took over Black Panther. And the other huge stand-out here is rising artist Jamal Campbell, who is quickly becoming one to look out for. The story is ostensibly a murder mystery, but one dead body soon leads Mullein into a morass of political corruption, police brutality, drug abuse, black markets, slavery, voter suppression, and military coups.One thing I liked is that Jo brings the reader up to speed on the first page in every issue, which would have been a big help in the monthlies. The perfect character for this story, and the flashbacks to her life pre-Green Lantern only add to the intrigue. It helps that she combines very original ideas with imaginative world building and then carefully drops a relatable human in the middle of it.

He and Averrup asked for a Green Lantern so they could use her to encourage support for the referendum.I know in polarized time, a bisexual black woman GL might not for everyone but I loved this series and can only hope we get another case in Farsector.

It’s like there was supposed to be some McGuffin controlled by the government, and why not emotions, I guess? The discussion reignites Jo’s concerns that she is being used by the Council to uphold the status quo instead of protecting the City’s people. SO yeah do read it especially for the art omg its so beautiful like Jamal does gods work here, he makes each page and even the cover look like a million bucks.Jo realizes that Switchoff users are being used as a black market commodity since they become emotional enough to produce creative content.
