YELLOW LANTERN 2: “What is Joy?”

As a fan of DC Comics’ Green Lantern, I’ve always been fascinated by their interpretation of the colour spectrum and the emotional resonance that each colour has.

But I started to think: Since there are more than seven human emotions, surely there’s room for other interpretations of the colours? After all, the very nature of a spectrum is that there are levels– gradients of colour.

To me, Yellow is JOY. It’s a colour that sparks joy in me, and I wanted very much to make a character with a yellow power ring for whom joy was the focus.

I made the character of Yellow Lantern, a fan fiction version of DC’s Lantern mythology, to explore that. Please enjoy the second instalment of Yellow Lantern: “What is Joy?”

#2: Bad Reputation

Veronica and Maeve have fled their home in the Czech Republic, travelling secretly across Europe to London.

Suddenly ripped from her insular gargoyle society, Maeve has been learning about the human world thanks to her more-experienced best friend–but where has Veronica gotten that experience? What has she been doing among humanity for the past twelve years?

And just what else is she capable of?

The issue title refers to Bad Reputation by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
