Green Lantern: War Journal Vol 1: Contagion TPB – DC Comics

In-Store Date: August 6, 2024

Green Lantern: War Journal Vol 1: Contagion collects the complete first arc of John Stewart's solo series from DC Comics, a darker, more cosmic companion to the main Green Lantern title.

Written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson with art by Montos and colors by Adriano Lucas and Alex Guimarães, the story begins when a desperate hero from another world seeks out John Stewart, hailed as the greatest Green Lantern of all. Before John can answer the call, he has to settle his life on Earth and care for his mother. Then a horrific plague from another dimension claims John himself as a victim, threatening multiple worlds and forcing him to fight a war from inside his own body.

This 153-page trade paperback collects Green Lantern: War Journal #1 through #6 plus the War Journal backup stories originally published in Green Lantern #1 through #3, so it contains the full origin of the arc. Montos's painterly, atmospheric art gives the book a horror edge that sets it apart from typical Corps stories.

Essential for John Stewart fans, readers who loved Johnson's Action Comics run, and collectors building the complete Dawn of DC Green Lantern line. New and unread.
