big sketchpage update, mostly characters I’ve talked about or at least mentioned before. Left side is Captain Comet and extended cast (starring in a hypothetical Science Comics counterpart to Action or ‘Tec) and right side is all Antimatter Universe characters.
I don’t think I ever posted Perpetual Woman or Thunderer-Prime’s designs, but obviously Perpetual is meant visually evoke Perpetua, while Thunder’s design isn’t final but pulls from a few different sources. Ultra shouldn’t actually be grouped in with them, except from the angle of being Anti-Monitor’s dad, but I felt like throwing him in. 
Expanding Adam Blake’s personal mythos has become a project within a project, and the expanded list of side characters mostly points where I’m headed with that. Adam/Moon Maiden/Belzebeth serve as a both a love triangle and teeing up Adam’s eventual transformation into a new Starbreaker. Enigma will absolutely get his own post eventually bc I kinda see him as Vertigo’s Superman even if I did sketch him a bit too much like Ergo Proxy, but he’s also an interesting counterpoint to Adam as another psychic mutant.

Thoughts on Countess Belzebeth?
Having finally sat down and reread The Green Lantern last night (Season One + Blackstars hold up really well, Season Two is gorgeous and an interesting teardown of the base components of Hal Jordan and his world but feels so loosely-connected by comparison that it’s hard to get a bead on a lot of it), I’m afraid there’s only one way to put it:
Countess Belzebeth is a Girlboss.
Tumblr media
She’s a Progressive capitalist! One who triumphed over the abusive patriarchal forces in her life to become god-queen of an entire universe seeking to rid reality of its systems of oppression...by putting more brutal space-cops on the streets, amassing unfathomable material wealth as “a sign of mastery” while condemning inequality, and talking of the harm done to the environment while savaging entire planets to fulfill her appetites. She’s every billionaire talking a big game about saving the world without divesting of a penny, every politician leveraging a constructed image to cover up what it is they actually do. In the context of the run she’s the alluring notion* of Control in opposition to the higher ideal of Will, but in spite of surface appearances she’s not another radical villain who makes necessary missteps so the audience can cheer against them, she’s a literal bloodsucker nodding towards socialist ideals as a patina over the same old power structures.
* Related note: she’s also another sexy monstrosity from behind the stars seeking to crush free will and hope beneath her iron heel who Morrison desperately wants to step on them. Not as pointed an instance of masochism as Queen Bee in JLA dismissively telling an egomaniacal bald genius that his cleverness and charms mean nothing to her, but still.

DC Announces “Green Lantern: Blackstars” Miniseries
Tumblr media
Green Lantern: Blackstars is a three-issue miniseries from Grant Morrison and Xermanico. Green Lantern: Blackstars #1 releases on November 6, 2019, with a variant cover by Darick Robertson and the first of three triptych covers by Liam Sharp.
Spoilers ahead for The Green Lantern. You’ve been warned.
So the Green Lantern Corp is not just dead, after the upcoming events in The Green Lantern #12 (out October 2, 2019) they will not have ever existed. Oh Hal Jordan, you rascal.
According to Morrison, the Blackstars, “a sinister cult of universal peace and harmony, involving surrender to the will of the insidious and/or possibly illuminated Controller Mu—are in the process of subjugating the universe to their creed.” (DC Comics) Hal Jordan is an elite Blackstar, although Cosmic Vampire Countess Belzebeth will vie with him for “control of the narrative.”

Deep Dive: The Green Lantern Issue 5 (2018)
The fifth issue of Grant Morrison and Liam Sharp’s critically acclaimed Green Lantern series is more intimate than previous issues. In “Blackstar at Zentih” we zoom in on Hal Jordan as he runs a gauntlet through the vampire planet Vorr to earn a place on Commander Mu’s Blackstars.

Luciphage and Belzebeth, the Starbreakers, a Cosmic Vampire subspecies created by Controller experiments on Sun-Eaters in one of their many attempts to create a Lantern Corps of their own. They succeeded in sheer power, but failed in the act of control, an ironic running theme with the Controllers.
From their adopted homeworld of Vorr, the Starbreaker family would have run-ins with the Green Lanterns, Captain Comet, and the Justice League, violent in most cases, but for a few exceptions...romantic as well...

Grant Morrison Rewrites Reality in Green Lantern: Blackstars
Across the DC universe, come November 2019, once-familiar faces wielding Lantern power rings now wear a different uniform and enforce galactic law. The Green Lantern Corps is dead—long live the Blackstars in a new three-issue miniseries, Green Lantern: Blackstars, by Grant Morrison and Xermanico.
Who are the Blackstars? What are they? Answers will be revealed as the unstoppable Blackstars set their sights on the demons of Ysmault, Mongul…and a tiny, backwater planet called Earth in Green Lantern: Blackstars #1. Paving the way for more exciting Green Lantern adventures in 2020, a dangerous new chapter of the Green Lantern mythology starts on November 6, 2019.
“Oa is the skeleton-paved haunt of vengeful demons,” teases Morrison on the new project, “And the Blackstars—a sinister cult of universal peace and harmony, involving surrender to the will of the insidious and/or possibly illuminated Controller Mu—are in the process of subjugating the universe to their creed.”
Following the catastrophic events of The Green Lantern #12 by Grant Morrison and Liam Sharp, scheduled to hit shelves October 2nd, 2019, no Green Lanterns can be found patrolling their space sectors...not a single power ring lights the darkness! What happens in the finale of Morrison and Sharp’s incredible year-long run is shrouded in mystery, but the Green Lantern Corps is no more! Scratch that—they never existed in the first place. What has Hal Jordan done?
“Jordan’s one of the Blackstars’ primary operatives,” continues Morrison. “He’s central, although the Cosmic Vampire Countess Belzebeth vies with him for control of the narrative in Blackstars. Hal Jordan is the kind of man who will excel in any situation, so naturally he’s an elite Blackstar in this altered-continuity.”
Green Lantern: Blackstars #1, written by Grant Morrison with art by Xermanico, debuts in comic book stores and online retailers on Wednesday, November 6th with the first of three triptych covers by Liam Sharp and a variant cover by Darick Robertson.
