After the death of the Crime Syndicate of America’s Power Ring (their version of the Green Lantern), the ring of Volthoom sets off to find a new replacement. We just have to go back to the end of the Forever Evil crossover event in May of 2014. THE ORIGIN OF JESSICA CRUZįortunately, Jessica Cruz’s origins don’t go too far back. So let’s dig a little deeper and find out why. The interesting thing is that I became a fan of hers even before I knew her ethnicity. This makes Jessica Cruz a fantastic choice for me to root for. Some of my closest friends growing up are from Honduras so I would know. For those of you who don’t like geography, El Salvador and Honduras are neighbors and share similar cultures. Lucky for me, Geoff Johns and Ethan Van Sciver created Cruz who is a half Mexican-American, half Honduran-American. I am half Mexican-American, half Salvadorean-American and have always thought it would be so cool to have a character like Marvel’s Black Panther to root for. In honor of that, I thought this would be the perfect time to take a moment to talk about one of my favorite characters in the DC Universe, the Green Lantern Jessica Cruz. This past Tuesday was the start of National Hispanic American Heritage Month. This week, I wanted to dive into something a little more personal. I also thought about doing a review on the fantastic new DC animated film, Superman: Man of Tomorrow, but that can wait until next week when hopefully more people have seen it. With day two of DC FanDome happening last Saturday, there is a treasure trove of subjects just there. Welcome to another week of DC Weekly! As I thought about this week’s column I thought about all the subjects that I could talk about. I stand in solidarity with asylum seekers, don't give up.Don’t know much about Jessica Cruz? We have you covered. I enjoyed the story and the message for hope. The shoulders are often rendered enormous and the heads are often too small. There are actually legitimate criticisms on the book to provide here, mainly that the figure drawing needs a lot of improvement. But it looks like setting this in a fictional city still didn't stop the right-wing snowflakes from crying crocodile tears anyways, so at some point you have to just ignore these types of people because they will never stop playing the victim. No conflict would mean no story, which is not entertaining. To that end, this story actually makes more sense set in the fictional Coast City because Portland is a sanctuary city and resistant to ICE. It's unclear if the other reviewers here are innocently unaware of this and simply prefer DC canon over plot (not uncommon) or if they are criticizing a lack of canon as a post hoc justification to give a book about a DACA student a bad review.
DC COMICS JESSICA CRUZ SERIES
This is the latest in DC's series of youth oriented books that intentionally put new spins on DC characters, outside of the current canon. Despit feeling helpless with her father, Jessica must find her way out of her fears and ultimately become a voice for her community. But when her father is detained by I.C.E., Jessica finds herself being pulled into an abyss of anxiety. And despite her attempts to lean on her friends and family, she finds herself constantly visited by visions of Aztec gods, one pulling her toward hope and the other toward anger.
As the xenophobia in Coast City increases, Jessica begins to debate if it’s worth staying in the U.S. Jessica usually worries for her undocumented parents, but her fears and anxiety escalate as a mayoral candidate with a strong anti-immigration stance runs for office. She's a dedicated student, popular among her classmates, and has a loving family that has done everything they can to give her a better life in the United States. reimagine one of DC’s greatest Green Lanterns, Jessica Cruz, to tell a story about immigration, family, and overcoming fear to inspire hope.
