Content Warnings:
Green Lantern Quarterly Issue #5: Misogynistic Depictions
DISCLAIMER — Brightest Day, Blackest Night: Alan is temporarily deceived into helping Axis Soldiers while dealing with Solomon Grundy. The story focuses on Alan reconciling with his present and past decisions during WWII. Out of context, this can read as Nazi sympathy, but that is not the intent. By the end Alan reconciles that his actions were harsh but necessary. This issue is recommended primarily for its insight into Alan's connection to the Starheart and early queer coding.
