In the previous year, a section of Green Lantern fan base experienced turbulence upon the unveiling of Sheridan’s ‘Alan ‘Scott: Green Lantern.’ The uproar in this comic revolves around the significant transformation of Alan Scott, an iconic character from the Golden Age of DC comics, into a gay individual.
A significant number of fans expressed disappointment over this move, as they felt it significantly deviated from the authentic representation of the character. The comic received criticism not just for its new interpretation, but also for its controversial marketing tactics and explicit content that some perceived as pornographic.
Instead of emphasizing the narrative itself, Sheridan urged readers to purchase the book as a means of “claiming victory over closed-minded individuals.” Some perceived this approach as controversial and disregarding of valuable feedback and constructive criticism.
Detractors argue that the comic writer places more emphasis on promoting a certain viewpoint than crafting an engaging Green Lantern narrative. Particular elements, such as Alan Scott’s romantic liaisons, involving a male sex worker who affectionately calls him “Scotty,” and representations of God endorsing his actions through The Spectre character, have sparked controversy among some readers, particularly those with deeply held religious or moral convictions.
Many believed that the show veered away from maintaining the essence of the Green Lantern universe, focusing more on presenting specific ideas instead.
1) It appears that the comics weren’t selling well, suggesting a general dislike from readers. Furthermore, it’s been said that Sheridan departed from DC Comics because he felt the company didn’t give enough backing to the book. However, critics counter this by suggesting the reason for poor reception was more likely due to issues with the storyline and its execution.
Inspite of facing criticism, the comic book received a nomination for a GLAAD Award in the category “Outstanding Comic.” This recognition has sparked ongoing discussions about the comic’s quality and public response.
