This was because the ring was specifically was looking for someone who felt great fear and anger. At the end of Justice League #30 by Geoff Johns, Ivan Reis, Doug Mahnke, Scott Hanna, and Rod Reis we find the ring had picked Cruz. 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. Don’t know much about Jessica Cruz? We have you covered.
