Wasn’t it revealed in GL: Mosaic that John himself is a Guardian? I wouldn’t put it past Johns to dig up something like that.

I’d like to see Alan Scott as a “New Guardian”, too.

The New Guardians are on the cover of Blackest Night 6.

John Stewart was also once promoted to Guardian status (at the end of the GL: Mosaic series). This was swept away after Emerald Twilight so Kyle could be the only Green Lantern-ish hero, which is a bit of a shame considering how much story potential there was there. Maybe we’ll see a bit of that again.

I keep hearing about Mosaic and how great it was … but it’s not collected, is it? How long did it run? Did it always feature John? And how’d they come up with that relatively odd title for a GL book?

@Rebis: The series took place during a period when the Guardians had left our dimension, leaving one of their members behind to run things on Oa. (This was Appa Ali Apsa, the “Old-Timer” from the Green Lantern/Green Arrow “Hard Traveling Heroes” stories.) He eventually went mad from the solitude, and began gathering cities from all the worlds he’d visited in his lifetime and transporting them to Oa. After he was defeated, the Guardians decided that, rather than return the cities to their home worlds, they would leave them on Oa as a sort of mosaic of interplanetary cultures, as an experiment in cultural relations. John was assigned to maintain peace and order on the “Mosaic World.” But on such an unorthodox planet, he often had to use unorthodox methods….

Green Lantern: Mosaic is spectacular. It’s all about John. The title comes from a mosaic of cities, towns, and species forced to live together on OA. While the whole series is great, for me, #5 stands out as the best.

And, NO, it’s never been collected. I expect it to show up when DC gets around to collecting Young Heroes in Love

IMO Mosaic was the best GL title of that era… They even killed Ch’p!!!
