would you marry a Jessica Cruz

What a waste, making her another boring ass Green Lantern. Shes more interesting with the demonic ring. Plus her outfit is more appealing than her GL one

This is a common sentiment.

The only thing I wanted for Jessica was for her to be retconned to having a ring from her own Earth, instead of having E3's Power Ring. A Crime Syndicate without Power Ring just doesn't feel right.

But nope, gotta make her another Green Lantern. And her new costume sucks.

Jessica would be too paranoid for a relationship.
>can't go on a date because she feels too vulnerable out in the open
>can't do any romantic surprises because she will freak out
>can't cook for her because she thinks you poisoned the food
>>
>>82492554
I like cowardly and nervous Jessica and I'm afraid her becoming a GL would diminish that.

you just have to do things on her terms.

>>82492667
Do you really have the patience for that? First you-a complete stranger-got to be able to even approach her without her scurrying back to her bunker then you have to pass god knows how many background checks with your story constantly being scrutinize by her.

Shit, Jessica's bullying rapist ring was the best part of her since Johns never bothered to do much with her character. Replacing that with GL ring just makes her the 6th Earth Green Lantern.

This permanently killed any interest I had in her new book.
>>
>>82492619
What does her GL costume look like?

That does look like shit. What kind of idiot would make a character less unique?
>>
>>82495084
I really don't know.

It's one of those faux prestige things, like Marvel does. When you give a character a legacy identity it's supposed to somehow "legitimize" them, like making Falcon into Captain America. Plus it's easy to point to them for things like "Captain America is Black!" or "Green Lantern is a Latino Woman!"

When in reality it does the opposite. It takes a character that could have (or sometimes has already) stood on their own and makes them stand in another character's shadow. And since in comics the status quo is king, every single reader knows that they're only temporarily going to be focused on.

Green Lantern is different from a lot of heroes because there can be multiples at the same time, but that just has it's own issues.

We can only hope it is swiftly undone and she goes back to being a paranoid schizophrenic shutin.
>>
>>82495084
Because she's GL now.
>>
>>82495069
>make a decently interesting character
>make her another human green lantern that'll just blend into the mass of unused lanterns shortly after her debut
>>
>>82495251
Hundreds of people are GLs. It would have been far more interesting to have her different power try to fit in with the crowd of GLs.
>>
>>82495320
but anon-kun we need somebody else to fill out scenes like this!

And then whenever some cosmic threat pops up we can see her again for one panel right before all the Lanterns get their asses kicked so that we know how strong they are!

Don't you think that's WAY better? Now she's special!
>>
>>82495354
Hey, I'm not arguing. As Power Ring she was semi-interesting, now she's regular Jane.
>>
>>82495397
Isn't it also a downgrade in power to go from Power Ring to GL?
>>
>>82492513
Once you slip a wedding ring on a latin girl, they gain 75 pounds of flab and grow a moustache. So, no.
>>
>>82495406
Power Ring didn't seem that much stronger than a regular GL

Also the GL ring has the advantage of not slowly killing you or trying to make you do evil stuff
>>
>>82495406
I didn't notice. It's not like Jessica had some outrageous FEATS.

I guess that rampage when she first got the ring was a one-time thing. The evil ring was half of what made the character interesting.
>>
Man I loved her as Power Ring. Having to constantly keep the ring in check, having a mix of fear and will. The fear is still there because you don't just overcome it, especially when you have a Daemonic Ring that reminds you of it.

Also her interaction with the spirit of Harold Jordan, who keeps trying to get her go down his path. Teaming her up with Baz (why haven't they replaced his ring with a functional one?) would be great, if she'd remained PR instead a GL. Also her uniform was CUTE.
>>
>>82495760
Baz is such dumb wasted character. His ring is Sinestro and Hal's rings fused, right? So why didn't they play up that his powers were half Yellow?
>>
>>82495847
Cause Sinestro's ring was a green lantern ring.
>>
>>82495847
Because Sinestro's ring was green at the time

Hal's ring was a deputy ring that Sinestro made and they fused back together wrong

But yeah they did miss the opportunity to show why Baz was similar to both Hal and Sinestro, he should have spent more time with his ring dads

Just be thankful she doesn't look like this because she almost did.

that is so silly that it becomes kinda cool just for how 90's it is, Kyle would be so jealous

Jesus Christ, that lantern symbol on her face is hilarious.

Did Jim Lee design Jessica's character originally? That was one of my favorite nu52 designs.
>>
>>82492513
Her rebirth version sure
>>
>>82496687
I actually really really fucking like that, its much more interesting then the bland as fuck design they gave her.

Always wondered why is Guy dressed like GL Guardian robots or what they were called.
>>
>>82496626
kek

>>82496687
I honestly prefer that to what we got. The only things I'd change is her legs. Remove the boots and extend her "shorts" down like her original suit. The black boots look much better.

Oh yeah, and give her her fucking jacket back.
>>
>>82496538
Of course not, anon! Lanterns are a cheap and easy way for us to throw in a ton of characters nobody cares about!

Why, just think! As a writer, you can leave a permanent mark on DC history by just giving any old OC some green spandex.
>>
Is she and Baz going to hook up?
>>
>>82498471
pls do not BLACKED jessica
>>
>>82496538
Earth's two lanterns were Hal and John for most of Johns' run, Kyle and Guy were honor guard

Now Jessica and Simon are the 2814 lanterns, John is the new Kilowog, Hal is off by himself or something, Guy is probably still honor guard, Kyle doesn't matter because he's a backstabbing slut
>>
>>82496463
He's a Hal who is even more moe and prone to abuse than regular Hal

I just wanna shove him into a locker then force him to go down on me
