It relies a bit too heavily on Stewart's still mostly undefined god-like powers, but it's one of the more useful ways to utilize Hypertime as a hand-waving plot device to explain away inconsistencies. After discovering that Esak has been tapping into Hypertime in his attempts to create his own New Gods, Stewart does the same and functionally splits himself into two selves – a "Green Lantern" and an "Emerald Knight." While the Green Lantern version of Stewart returns to what's likely the mainstream DC Universe, the Emerald Knight remains behind on a newly created Xanshi to monitor the Dark Sectors with a small team of scions.įrom a story perspective, John Stewart: The Emerald Knight allows Thorne and Santucci to continue their throwback Dark Sector run, which feels almost like a continuation of sorts of the weird science seen in the Green Lantern titles in the 1980s and 1990s, while also shunting a slightly de-powered Stewart back into the DC Universe to be used in other DC titles. John Stewart: The Emerald Knight continues the Dark Sector's saga by at least temporarily bringing the Green Lantern's conflict with Esak to a close. ![]() Stewart can now harness a portion of the Source called the Godstorm and has been siphoning that power to other Green Lanterns to power their battle against Esak in the Dark Sector. After the destruction of the Central Power Battery, it was up to Stewart to power his small army of Green Lanterns using newfound powers that he awakened after a trip through time and a blast from Darkseid's Soul Cannon. Last year, Geoffrey Thorne and Marco Santucci stranded John Stewart and a group of Green Lanterns in the Dark Sector, cut off from their Green Lantern rings and battling a more godly Esak, a New God with a plot to create artificial versions of the New Gods. To explain how Stewart arrives at this intriguing status quo, we have to first explain how Stewart transformed from normal Green Lantern to an "Ascended" being able to wield the emotional spectrum. Whether this strange status quo sticks remains to be seen, but it does seemingly find a way to separate Stewart from the pack of Earth's Green Lanterns while celebrating his unique history. Surprisingly, the creative team finds a way to do both thanks to the use of a well-worn DC concept. John Stewart: The Emerald Knight tries to have its cake and eat it too by both resetting Stewart's status quo and giving him a bold new universe to explore while also shunting him out of exile from the Dark Sector so he and the other Green Lanterns can be reintegrated into the wider DC Universe.
