I liked the concept and the art. I would’ve liked to see some of the scenes/conversations more drawn out.

I really enjoyed this one. It gave me insight on an issue I haven’t had to worry about. I love the fantasy aspects of it as well. The only thing was I felt like one shift of emotions were really quick, but the rest was amazing. Great characters!

The art looks great, the story moves a bit fast at the ending, but is general okayish told.

I think this is an important story to tell in graphic novel format, I'm just not sure a DC graphic novel was necessarily the best way to go about it. From the summary on the back of the book, it seems like we're going to get a story about how this journey affect Jessica Cruz as a Green Lantern. Putting that in the blurb definitely makes it seem like it will be in the story at some point, even if it's just at the end. However, it never came up at any point and doesn't seem to tie into the comic book character at all (not that I know that much about Jessica Cruz, but still).
The writing wasn't necessarily bad, and the art was different and unique, especially if you've been reading these DC YA graphic novels. On its own as a standalone story, I think it's perfectly fine. There's not a whole lot that stands out about it. I think I just wanted something more to connect it to the overall DC universe, especially since it's published and marketed as that. Definitely mixed feelings about this one!
