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!!!!!!”
