Green Lantern (John Stewart) Reading Order

The continuity details relating to each specific storyline are explained in the “Review” of each storyline.

New 52
With the start of the New 52, the DC Universe was reset. However, John Stewart and most characters related to the Green Lantern series were less affected by this reset than other characters. It appears as if most of John’s solo history was preserved, specifically his position and history within the Green Lantern Corps.
John Stewart’s major appearances in this era mostly play out through the Green Lantern Corps series, in which he had a starring role. His role in this series also allowed him to take part in numerous Green Lantern crossover events, including Rise of the Third Army (Reading Order), Wrath of the First Lantern (Reading Order), Lights Out (Reading Order), and Godhead (Reading Order). After the Green Lantern Corps series ended, John went on to be a major figure in the Green Lantern: The Lost Army and the Green Lantern Corps: Edge of Oblivion miniseries.
