![]() It’s a challenge for John to turn away from his friends who are being herded up, but Lonar is able to point him in the direction of the “real battle.” We can all probably recall a situation in our life in which we were unable to “see the forest for the trees.” It’s not always easy to change our perspective, especially when it seems to endanger those we care about. Lonar tells him he “ascended” a while ago. John is still thinking about the world from the perspective of a Green Lantern and not…what he’s become. As John is trying to save his friends including Kilowog and Saalak, Lonar tells him he’s not seeing the real fight. It didn’t quite stick as the Amazing Amazon has returned to Earth with issue #780 of her own title, but clearly for John as we see in this issue he’s supposed to look at the world differently. Lonar tells John straight up that he’s “ascended.” While John is in the same boat as the readers as to how this happened, this nomenclature indicates something similar as to what happened to Wonder Woman at the end of Death Metal. While Jo addresses hers relatively easily in order to turn her attention to a real lead on the destruction of the Central Power Battery that occurred back in issue #1, John has to take a little time to see things from a different perspective which seems to be a theme throughout the issue. Green Lantern #8 moves the storylines forward significantly as both John Stewart and Jo Mullein have to come to grips with new challenges. John receives a revelation about himself from Lonar and Jo must bring the depowered Lanterns on Oa together quickly as she and Peya Fel have a solid lead on the destruction of the Central Power Battery.
