![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() One of the interesting phrases that Sinestro uses in describing the Green Lanterns is that they “impose their will.” It’s a clever turn of phrase because it not only describes the Guardians’ desire for a lawful universe, but also uses the work “will” which is gives one power to use a Green Lantern Ring. She’s willing to use the ring because she feels she can use it for good, but doesn’t appear to buy into Sinestro’s larger goals. It really gives further insight into Sinestro’s character, as well.Įven though Jessica comes to understand how it works and sees the potential to be used for good, at no point does she ever feel anything but enmity towards Sinestro. Additionally, Sinestro guides Jessica through her first uses of the ring so she understands how it works. (The road to hell is paved with good intentions!) In this way it seems thematically similar to the way that the Sith and the Dark Side of the Force operate in Star Wars. She’s doesn’t have to give in the fear, nor is she seduced by the power the fear brings, but rather she sees how fear can be used for a good end. It turns out to be a very subtle use of fear. She is able to use the fear to help others. Jessica doesn’t want to make people fear her, nor does she want to use fear to intimate other to get what she wants them to do. Perhaps, the first notable aspect is how Jessica comes to understand the way the ring works. With Green Lantern 2021 Annual #1, Ryan Cady presents some really deep seated philosophical story beats. While this has been extremely interesting, giving Jessica Cruz a yellow power ring is perhaps an even more interesting decision. Over the past nearly twenty years, Sinestro has been portrayed more and more like an anti-hero than that of a true villain. He had been discharged from the Green Lantern Corps for abusing his power and subsequently taken up a yellow power ring from the Weaponers of Qward in the Anti-Matter Universe. When Sinestro was first introduced back in Green Lantern (Second Series) # 7, Aug 1961, he was a clear villain. Jessica Cruz faces off against three members of the Sinestro Corps and … becomes one of them? Fear may mean something different in the hands of this former Green Lantern! Positives ![]()
