The Green Lantern Corps Is Getting a New Leader in New Series

by

I’m thrilled as a Green Lantern Corps supporter to witness the arrival of a new leader, none other than Jessica Cruz. After navigating through some tough times, the Corps is back on course and ready for a dazzling future under her guidance. In “Green Lantern: Fractured Spectrum” #1, we get a glimpse of how this fresh leadership is already leaving its mark.

Jessica Cruz, initially created by Geoff Johns and Ethan Van Sciver, has significantly evolved since her initial appearance. The narrative, penned by Jeremy Adams and visually depicted by V. Ken Marion, begins with the Green Lantern Corps exerting tremendous efforts to rebuild their headquarters, Oa, which suffered a catastrophic blow but is now gradually regaining its luster as a beacon of hope.

In six distinct frames, the moment when Jessica Cruz is selected as the new leader unfolds, paving the way for her to assume command. Previously dominant figures, the Guardians, have decided to retreat, now offering guidance instead as Jessica assumes the limelight. With this transition, she becomes the guiding light for all Green Lanterns.

As positive developments unfold, an unexpected danger emerges – the ominous Sorrow Lantern. This sudden turn of events suggests that Jessica’s leadership skills may be challenged earlier than anticipated.

Jessica Cruz’s path to her significant role wasn’t a quick process; instead, it took shape gradually over time. Her debut in the comic series “Forever Evil” marked just one step on her journey. Through this experience and many more that followed, she bravely battled deep-seated anxiety. This struggle has only served to emphasize her resilience, solidifying her status as one of Earth’s most distinguished Green Lanterns. Whether working alongside the Corps or aligning with the Justice League, Jessica has repeatedly shown her willingness to place everything at stake for the sake of planetary protection.

Lately, the Corps has been in a state of upheaval. The Guardians have passed on significant power to the United Planets, which, under the influence of the corrupt Thaaros, came close to transforming the Corps into an instrument for oppression.

As a cinephile, I daringly wormed my way into Thaaros’ inner circle, covertly accumulating intel to support the rebellion spearheaded by none other than Hal Jordan and John Stewart. My undercover mission was fraught with peril, as chameleon-like adversaries kept a keen eye on my actions. Yet, I managed to contribute significantly to the demise of Thaaros.

Currently, the Green Lantern Corps finds itself once again steering its own course, under the guidance of Jessica Cruz. In this new chapter, they require not only raw power but also robust leadership to rebuild and fortify the Emotional Spectrum, which lies in ruins following recent events.

In simple terms, Jessica’s personal struggle with anxiety and her consistent advancements make her an excellent choice as a leader for the upcoming period.

Excitedly, we’re looking forward to observing how Jessica Cruz navigates the Green Lantern Corps amidst trying circumstances in “Green Lantern: Fractured Spectrum” #1, hoping she can rejuvenate their power and resilience by focusing on their internal resources.
