Sam Humphries shows through her daily struggle that anxiety isn’t logical. Just getting out of bed, or going to meet Simon for breakfast is a win for Cruz as she fights against the anxiety telling her that she can’t do it. (Okay, he likes to fly, too.) He did it because he’s worried about me. (Even if I don’t believe in myself.) And Simon didn’t come all the way out to Portland from Michigan because he likes to fly. I believe in the healing power of pancakes. The Ring of Volthoom feeds off fear, so it chose Cruz based on the traumatic experience she underwent. For those that don’t know, like most superheroes, Green Lantern is chosen. This leads to Jessica locking herself away in her house for three years.
She and her friends witness men burying a body, but are caught, and the men murder her friends while she barely gets away.
Her beginning is a typical origin in the comic book world. Jessica Cruz first appeared in the comics in 2013, later to be introduced in Justice Leaguevolume 2 #30. Over the decades, the character title has undergone several personas, with the newest Green Lantern being Jessica Cruz and Simon Baz. Green Lanterncomics go back to the 1940’s with the original Green Lantern, Alan Scott. Some of the most meaningful stories are the ones that not everyone else is reading, but the ones that are underrated and often overlooked. Liking comic books didn’t use to be the cool thing to do, but with the rise of the Marvel and DC Comics films, pop culture has accepted comic books as a dynamic and interesting form of storytelling. Loving comics has been criticized for humor in television and films, often painting those who love comic books as the strange loners. Comics have power: a form of escapism that provides a world of heroes originating during times when America seemed to have none.
