* ScatterbrainedSenior: John's mother is suffering from dementia and still believes that her abusive husband hasn't left her and that her daughter Ellie Rose is still alive. John is torn between enabling her delusions to keep her happy or trying to keep her tethered to reality.



* SuddenNameChange: It was actually established that John had a deceased younger sister all the way back in Creator/JuddWinick's ''Green Lantern'' run during the early 2000s, with the character subsequently being referenced again in an issue of Joe Kelly's ''ComicBook/{{JLA|1997}}''. However, John's sister was named Rose in those appearances, while here, she's called Ellie.

However, John's sister was named Rose in those appearances, while here, she's called Ellie. Later issues split the difference and have her name be "Ellie Rose Stewart".
* {{Tulpa}}: After seeing his dementia-addled mother break down in tears over Ellie Rose, John decides to address this by using a Power Ring to create a replica of Ellie that acts as an extension of his will. Although she's made of the same green light used by the Green Lanterns in their HardLight constructs, she lives, breathes, and talks like the original Ellie Rose from John's memories. But this also means that she's a "Child of Oa" and will do ''anything'' to keep her "mama" safe and happy, even if it means entertaining her dementia-induced delusions.

* SketchySuccessor: The UnitedPlanets Green Lantern who comes to arrest John Stewart for supposedly having a power ring is unreasonable, headstrong, takes no time to listen to John before trying to make the arrest, and gives up very quickly when John fights back. John is disgusted at how pathetic a Green Lantern this guy is (especially since he gave up so easily in spite of the rings operating on ''willpower'', meaning he wasn't worthy of it in the first place) and easily sends him packing. He comes back in issue 2 with two others to back him up, and displays a bigoted attitude towards "lower classes" than he's used to being with, and towards humans as well, viewing them as little more than primitive savages.

''Green Lantern: War Journal'' is an upcoming September 2023 ongoing comic from Creator/DCComics and part of the ComicBook/DawnOfDC publishing imitative.

The book features [[Characters/GreenLanternJohnStewart John Stewart]] as its eponymous ComicBook/GreenLantern and is written by Creator/PhillipKennedyJohnson, and with art by Osvaldo Montos.

Spinning out of Jeremy Adams' ''ComicBook/GreenLantern2023'', it is a continuation of Johnson and Montos' ''John Stewart: The Good Soldier'' backup narrative chronicling John Stewart's retirement (and inevitable, if involuntary return to active duty) in the wake of ''Dark Crisis''.

----
!!Pre-release material for ''Green Lantern: War Journal'' provides examples of:
* ADayInTheLimelight: John Stewart, which is part of what makes it distinct. While John was the central Lantern of the ''Infinite Frontier'' run, he was still ultimately part of an ensemble cast (which was also the case going back to the GLC runs by Peter Tomasi, Tony Bedard, and Van Jensen). ''War Journal'' thus marks the very first John Stewart solo series since ''Green Lantern: Mosaic'' in the 1990s.
* ContinuityOverlap: Johnson's [[https://twitter.com/PhillipKJohnson confirmed]] (albeit indirectly) that ''War Journal'' will be running in tandem with Jeremy Adams' current run and be affected by ongoing stuff like the Sector 2814 Quarantine.
* GenreShift: Johnson has [[https://www.cbr.com/john-stewart-dangerous-villain-green-lantern/ stated this full series will shift away from the Sci-Fi/Fantasy tone of the current ''Good Soldier'' backups into something more akin to 1980s-era James Cameron Sci-Fi Action.
* Retirony: The premise (and continuing from the ''Good Soldier'' backups) shows John Stewart having retired from superbheroics and the GLC for a peaceful life on Earth. It won't last.
* SequelSeries: ''War Journal'' continues the John Stewart storyline Johnson and Montos began in the backup feature of the current ''Green Lantern'' run.
* {{Spinoff}}: Of Jermey Adams' ''ComicBook/GreenLantern2023''.
* WriteWhatYouKnow: John Stewart's modern characterization since the ''Justice League'' cartoon has been that he's a retired USMC soldier. Johnson, his current custodian, is an active Master Sergent in the US Army.
* VariantCover: Taj Tenfold, Mirko Colak, Dave Wilkins, John Giang and Ken Lashley will be contributing alternate covers for ''War Journal''.
