Last Time i was this early. Hal Jordon was selling his rings for a Dollar.

Did Hal just created all the other human Green Lanters with the dollar rings, because there are a lot...

A 'sojourn' also means 'a temporary stay' as in travel. Maybe Jo's name has a double meaning. The obvious nod to Sojourner Truth, and her temporary stay in the Far Sector from Earth.... or her temporary stay on Earth to the depths of space, never to return.

Completely unrelated; as a Black American and descendant of slaves, I did not know what Sojourner Truth looked like. I knew about her and her legacy but it never occurred to me that I have not seen a picture of her. Thank you for sharing the picture and knowledge!

"No Earth references, please. We have Earth at home." Made me laugh really hard right when I was sipping a drink. Thanks. 😆

Books can have layers, like an ogre!

Jo Mullein: Gurren Lagann pilot, Janelle Monae, and was practically made for the HBO MAX Green Lantern series.

This sounds much more like the kind of Green Lantern story I'd LIKE to read, not be expected to read to keep pace with the latest Corps-ending-crisis-which-never-does.

When we saw Jo getting her ring it was actually just Hal's $1 sales pitch

Referred to as Thicc Lantern in cultured circles I'm glad that she's apart of Future State Justice League

Love the detective slant here. Not all fight driven by power rings. Solidly built character not defined the powers but by her smarts. P.S. the electric blue hair is really cool.

Im ready for the journey of discovering all the different ways Sasha can say "Your mileage may vary"

I think the reason why this comic has received little attention is we getting another human GL as both Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz still feel like new additions (both of these characters aren't a decade old). Maybe DC should have done something different by making Jo Mullein a Red, Blue or Yellow lantern as it will keep the GL mythos fresh and make Jo even more original.

Please do video on Diana discovering Brazilian tribe of Amazons. In Wonder Woman Annual #4, Wonder Woman just discovered a lost third tribe of Amazons, appearing on Brazil's coastline.

This book would have more of an impact if DC didn't have so many human *Green Lanterns* As soon as DC decides to put the (human) Lanterns into a different spectrum/Corps, then things will start to get interesting.

Hi sasha could you do a the confusing history of killerforst as she is a really interesting character that I would love to know more about her other then the flash tv show

Well this does look like an interesting complex character to add to the Green lantern mythos and hopefully she won't be taken out by a bar of soap like one of her predecessor

Thank you for being one of the VERY few creators to cover Jo.

I normally steer clear of lantern stuff, but have to admit Jo is the one that I did end up liking.

I didnt knew you like African Litterature. Its a Great book i am from Gabon its in Africa and we studied that book too when i was in High School

Found "Far Sector" by accident and I'm enjoying it. Love the space opera/noir feel.

Love her Janelle Monáe stylized look.

Yeah, she hasn't married Lois, yet, her story sounds pretty good. Will check out.

Can we talk about how good Sasha’s hair looks please?

The Futurama reference gets you my 1 like... And the Salt Vampire makes me wish I could give more.

I was actually trying to find anything else about this one, Thxs.

N.K. Jemisin is an all time favourite author of mine so I knew she was writing a Green Latern story. Given that I know little to nothing about the green lantern mythos I was hesitant to pick it up. But you have sold me completely. This sound exactly like something I would enjoy

N.K Jemisin is a baddass! I've read a couple of her books and I can tell you they are like crack! After reading you're feening for more. So Stick with it! I'm sure you will not be disappointed.

I believe the 12th and last issue just dropped, so it would be great to hear an updated review. I personally loved it, the fantastic art helped a lot!

This is a good read guys. Ive been on it from the start. There is fun twists and the art is soooo bodacious

I normally hate meme comments, but... Sasha: We have Earth at home. Earth, at home: Never mind, someone beat me.

I was today years old when I learned you aren’t American?! lol For the record I thoroughly enjoy your analysis of comics, art, literature and really anything! Finding your channel has been a true joy and pleasure to behold! Plus your wig game is ALWAYS on point! ❤️❤️👍🏾😜

I really dig her Gurren Lagan glasses. Stylish AF. There ARE a whole bunch of human lanterns though...maybe Earth just needs that much more help getting itself together.

Jamal Campbell's art is fantastic

OMG GIRL THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COVERING THIS I bought this series with my Fiancé as we love the Green Lantern Mythos and it’s GREAT IMO Also yes, I discovered this work because of Jamaal’s work on Naomi, another great story so far

Read the first issue, I like where this is going.

At this stage the elders should just make a green lantern human division.

Thank you !!! I am happy somebody finally is showing this character some love. I have been a fan since issue 1. I love Jamal Campbell artwork.

Great video. Thanks Sasha!

So excited that Far Sector hit universe this week. Jemisin is my favorite current author and the start was everything I was hoping for.

I literally just watched this twice back to back, pleeeeease keep covering, you rock Sasha

Loved it ! Can't wait for the continuation ! Love your channel too sooooooooooo much fun :). Even the music at the end. Love it !

Saw a promo for this new Green Lantern story a while back and though “Maybe I’ll pick it up.” After hearing your review I definitely need to. Thanks for always showing us new and intriguing stories.

I love her suit. Probably the best designed GL suit I have seen in a long while

Excellent video keep up the great work

My problem is that there are too many human Green Lanterns. Why would a GL from Earth be assigned to an alien society she barely understands? Wouldn't a local do better? Maybe it's intended as an "exchange student program" but then, why don't we see more alien GLs on Earth?

Thanks for reviewing Jo Mullein's Far Sector! I'm really enjoying it. I think the funky glasses and costume got my attention, while the space noir murder mystery kept me reading. I'm here for Jo's 'tude and the stylish art, too. Now, I feel like I should go read some N.K. Jemisin (and Chinua Achebe! was supposed to read TFA for college, years ago. I'm super-late ...).

So.... is it just me or does she look a lot like Janelle Monae? Not that it's bad, it's an observation. She's a pretty classy musician and I do love her fashion style. This does look like a beautiful and interesting book. And the Corp is a great vehicle to show heroes who aren't League Members

Kind of mixed, here. My first thought was "oh goody, somebody re-invented Mosaic". Fortunately, I was at least smart enough to shaddup and hear the REST of the story. The world & culture building was great! Gave the concept depth beyond the standard stranger in a strange land meets generic alien, and conflict ensues. Readers have to navigate the rich details along with the protagonist. Noir mystery indeed. The Protagonist: we've all heard of the "Strong Black Woman", usually only perceived as such because of how well she handles being downtrodden. Seen it a million times. Not so here. Here, she's thoughtful and smart. Without being nerdy. We've seen that before, too. With this much attention to detail, and story concept that says, "stick around, this is going places", I want N.K Jemisin to write Batwoman next! (But that's a whole other rant) HAVING SAID THAT: despite the greatest GL costume design since Kyle Rayner, we don't need another Green Lantern from Earth! Either make her something else (could still interact with a GL from this sector), or make her a Lantern from another planet. If anyone could, it'd be Jemisin. Perspective, indeed. HAVING SAID THAT, THAT: Sasha, thanks for putting us onto things we would've missed otherwise. A new dimension in your ever growing stable of subjects. Here's one for you: You've all been sleeping on FLASHPOINT! Not the time travel rebooty one, but the 3 issue story before it. Silver Age Barry Allen tries to stop the Kennedy assassination with disastrous results that ends us changing the world, with help from an unexpected source. Loved your "we have the Earth at home", comment. Found on actual child's tee shirt: SAVE THE EARTH! It's where we keep the Bubble Gum!!!

OH wow yay , you're covering my second top pick for you to cover

loved this commentary. Thanks for Sharing. I also loved to blue hair today.

Hold up did you just say hal punched god in the face that doesn't seem like something to just gloss over

I really liked this book, but I'm a sucker for 'fish out of water' Lantern stories. I did find big parts of the narrative clumsily heavy handed and in places, very VERY. But the overall story was great, and the art was *fantastic*. Great video!

OK, you've convinced me. I'm gonna read this one. Really does sound up my proverbial alley. Thanks

Just read this whole series on your recommendation. It was excellent!

Had to stop the video about a minute in because of the opening quote.We had to read Things Fall Apart in high school, and while the book itself is well-written, I have since held a deep and personal hatred of the (very much fictional, I know,) main charachter and his personality, so seeing a comic open with quoting that particular book (even if it has nothing to do with that charachter,) brought that nostalgic rage feeling back, and I had to sit back for a moment. Great video as always.

That art is gorgeous.

Jemisin is brilliant, I love her work, and this series follows that high quality.

I really liked this. I was introduced to this title after seeing a cosplay of Jo. I went to the comic shop to investigate her. The world building is excellent and the art is vibrant. I enjoyed how we slowly see Jo's past unfold as her investigation continued. I hope you revisit this and talk more about the series. It explores some themes that are relevant today.

Best hair shade you picked yet!

I’m sooooo glad you’re sharing the love of Far Sector! I initially started it because of its Young Animal imprint (which I expect will shut tight right after this series concludes). I just hope Jo isn’t lost to the annals of time after Far Sector is dome🤞

I don't read GL, but this seems to be a good start for a new book. Hope it picks up speed tho. Keep us posted Sasha. Yeah, punching God in the face and other far out things like that are why i don't read GL. Jo's glasses are a little big for my taste, but when you got a GL ring i guess you go big or go home.

I saw a glance of the character earlier in the year. Now after this rundown color me sold, will check this out the art also looks phenomenal.

"All the salt that I can give you." 😆 The character work and design in this book look great.

This Green Lantern series has convinced me to read N.K. Jemisin's science fiction and fantasy, despite the doorstopper size - my time is too precious for lengthy bad SFF (a trashy three-hour read on the weekend is fun). The City Enduring brings back the alien feeling of the Green Lantern universe without the burden of known human Lanterns or the almost too distantly alien behavior of the Guardians (they're still condescending).

Your eye shadow is so fucking good, I love it.

I've read every issue, and I love it. It just gets better and better.

Things fall apart was my favorite book I read from high school lit courses. It's a great novel

I gotta say, every page of this novel looks glorious. It leans into the better part of the sci-fantasy style, of a dark location contrasted with how Green the Latern is, seeming to exist within, but also a complete outsider to, that environment.

Another. Entertaining perspective. ...i agree that this is the type. of backdrop Lantern stories are best suited for..amd the art is fantastical !!

I am loving the story so far, the art is beautiful and the story is great

Green Lantern is a great concept, but quite hard to write to its full potential. A title such as this that embraces the exotism and alien nature of the idea is certainly welcome far as I am concerned.

Yup ,will be checking this up, miss me some some space space neo noir lantern adventure

Great video thank you so much hope you’re staying safe and happy 😃

"We have Earth at home" - great line.

A while back I put this comic in my must-read-list and totally forgot about it lol! Thanks for the reminder. Also would you ever consider making a vid on the issue of Hal punching God?... I would love to hear your God voice.

I’m a basic b when it comes to comics, I normally only read batman ones in a pick up and go method but this one has caught my attention more then once. I think I’ll pick it up once it’s all collected and read through it. Also love your azura hair.

This sounds like a Green Lantern story I can get into. Thanks for telling us about it!

This was a fantastic series, glad you covered it, thought the art was exceptional too. I had high hopes for Grant Morrison on GL too, beyond the loopy concepts, the stories were difficult to follow on a structural level. Speaking of the Young Animals imprint, I’d love to hear your thoughts on Cave Carson has a Cybernetic Eye.

Very informative. Got me interested in getting the issue. The Green Lantern Corp have some interesting characters.

Thanks for this! It's a book that I know has more going on than I'm picking up on but I enjoy regardless. I take that as good story telling. I'm lost and can't remember how we got to where we are in the story now, without reading again (which I'll do once it's done) so this informative video has double purpose! Thanks again!

The only lantern on earth stories I might wanna read about is Alan Scott, and even him I wouldn't mind a more spacey revision or even a more magical one. Let him team up with Shazam and go keep the worlds of magic safe or something. Plenty of mundane Earth based heroes, let my fantastical and extraordinary heroes stay that way.

I haven't read a whole lot of Green Lantern, but I love the idea of a noir style adventure where a Lantern actually works a crime scene. I'd actually love to see a story where we just see a day in the life of a Lantern just doing routine space cop stuff, like issuing speeding tickets. "Ma'am, are you aware that you were travelling at 14 Lightyears in a 12 lightyear zone?" Also, I'd love to see a video covering all of the Earth Green Lanterns and just how come Earth has so many when, as far as I'm aware, there's only supposed to be one GL per sector.

The idea that her glasses IE the lens which she views the world is something she has willed says interesting things I'm not sure are intentional. Not my cup, but I do see positive potential.

Yay! I love starting my day with some Sasha. Does that sound wierd? Maybe I should have said casually comics... whatever I dont care. I just love this channel. I even watch the videos with subject matter I couldn't care less about. You just make really compelling and 100% unique content.

I haven't read current run comics for a log time, but started this one because of the author. Really enjoying it so far :)

I dig... What's up with th great -aunt shades, though? 🤣

Wow excellent review very well done clearly your far more than just Exceptionally beautiful color me convinced i will be seeking out this book !

Anytime something new comes along people will judge it by there own experience. I personally like to try different things.i am intrigued by this take on Green Lantern.i really like a good sci fi mystery so i am in.

The art in this is so pretty I love it

Loved this Green Lantern story! Best one I’ve read in a while

This looks super good

I have been reading this for awhile since I discovered it when seeing what new comics were coming out one week. I love it. I can wait for people to see her backstory and the Guardian of the Universe they meet.

Omg I love your hair . I might someday I will do that color 😍

I thought Far Sector was a very solid sci-fi story, but like a lot of stuff DC seems to be putting out lately, it really felt shoehorned into Green Lantern-hood. Leaving aside the issue of her being the Nth Green Lantern from Earth (how many are there, 8? 9?), she seemed a very un-Green Lantern Green Lantern. Yes, there's immense variety among Lanterns (e.g., G'nort vs. Mogo) but there's an underlying vibe to this story that feels different from most if not all other Green Lantern stories. Of course you can tell that story, but it's like picking up a Batman title and finding a fluffy rom-com story inside. If "Green Lantern" can be anything that includes the deus ex machina of a power ring, then "Green Lantern" doesn't really mean anything anymore.

The salt vampire! Love the Trek references

Just finished the whole story. Genuine Good story she feels like a real person, no trying too hard to broadcast a message. If folks don’t like even this then what is there left to say

I’m living for this comics vibe.

Art on this really is great.

Looks good. But I'd like to see a Green Lantern with a mental issue that manifests through the ring. Also, not enough alien Lanterns manifesting alien things with their rings.
