Acclaimed, award-winning author N.K. Jemisin (The Fifth Season, The City We Became) makes her comic book debut with bestselling artist Jamal Campbell (Naomi) as they thrust you into a stunning sci-fi murder mystery on the other side of the universe! For the past six months, newly chosen Green Lantern Sojourner "Jo" Mullein has been protecting the City Enduring, a massive metropolis of 20 billion people. The city has maintained peace for over 500 years by stripping its citizens of their ability to feel. As a result, violent crime is virtually unheard of, and murder is nonexistent. But that's all about to change in this new graphic novel that puts a unique spin on the legacy of the Green Lanterns!.… (meer)

It took me a while to get into it; world building is great, characters are marvellous and the plot was interesting. The artwork was solid but I was puzzled occasionally by action sequences (that’s probably a me thing). ( )

Interesting and quirky. I didn’t want to put this one down, and the quotes at each issue set the tone nicely. The artwork was mostly great. Very colorful! And everyone had the thickest eyebrows. They were like slabs of bacon. A unique stylistic choice.

Also, the costume designs were equally regal and futuristic. Please give me Syzn’s coat and cape. Jo also has a lovely array of different hairstyles. Yes, she gets to switch it up. c:

I thought Farsector would be just another space fantasy, but there were a lot of real-world social issues (police brutality, peaceful protest vs riots, wait for change or take it yourself, drug addiction stigma, voting rights racism, political unrest, etc) here. Everything felt like a mystery with a hardened tough detective who can’t hide their soft side.

Although I mainly read for fun or escapism these days, I thought the real-life elements made Jo well-rounded with a strong sense of character. She just wants justice but has had a hard time making it happen. Her previous experiences and background are what makes her who she is. Because of that, she brings a different perspective as a Green Lantern, especially as a black (American; N.K Jemisin loves New York with her entire soul) woman.

Last thing: would you rather be paid in cat memes or dog memes? Dogs all the way for me! Who’s a good boy? ( )

Wow!!! Completely and utterly blown away by this beautiful, intelligent, revolutionary book!! My knowledge of DC fandom is minimal, but Jemisin and Campbell created this world so excellently that there is little need for background knowledge. I’m sure those who are well versed in Green Lantern lore benefitted from it, but as someone newer to DC I didn’t feel locked out. Jemisin tackles fascism, humanity, empires, and justice in such a succinct and interesting way. I need moreeeee! Excellent quotes from Black creatives and revolutionaries are added to each chapter, and there are visually stunning recaps with re-imagined pop culture moments that just add a cherry on top of the whole experience. Thank you for this boook! I wish I had more words to explain how great this was, but I’ll leave you with “READ THIS RIGHT NOW!!!!!!”


CW: police brutality, murder, slavery, racism. ( )

I was never much of a Green Lantern fan before but this book changed that. NK Jemisin - along with the art of Jamal Campbell - presents a new Lantern from Earth. Sojourner Mullein is a former soldier and police officer charged with a covert responsibility and a new type of ring. The result is a story that is grounded in reality but continues to resonate with the space opera elements of the traditional Green Lantern stories. This book definitely deserved to win the Hugo Award. ( )

Green Lantern goes someplace it’s never been before to the far sector. Our green lantern is new with a new type of experimental ring that she has been sent to the far sector of the universe is to help solve a murder and bring peace to 20 billion people. I went into this graphic novel with no realization it was going to be a Green Lantern story. Green Lantern was not a superhero. I grew up with and unfortunately only really have the Ryan Reynolds version to remind myself off and we all know how bad that sucked. But with MK Jennifer Hudson at the helm, this book is entertaining exciting and has a really quirky but thought-provoking concept and storyline. The story grabs your attention and keeps you flipping pages until the very end. No wonder it won a Hugo award. It deserved it. ( )

"A man who makes trouble for others . . . is also making it for himself."
Chinua Achebe. Things Fall Apart.
Two little problems with that quote, applied to this situation.
First? In this case, the trouble isn''t just many y mano. Whole city's going to feel this.
Second? I'm the one causing the trouble. Just by existing. But what else is new?
