In Blackest Night Part 1
Guess what…there are black people in this series! I mean, not just Green Lantern aka John Stewart, but at the opening of this episode he walks through a whole black community, casually busting petty criminals and tossing balls back to neighborhood kids. This series does a pretty fabulous job of including colorful (not just alien colorful) background characters as well as balancing the interstellar adventures of the League as well as the close to home protecting Earth ones. The ideas of home, family and community are very prevalent in this series, which lends greatly to my affection for it.
In this episode an inter spacial tribunal bring Green Lantern up on charges and send their force of Manhunter androids to Earth to retrieve him. Of course the League defends him. The League take it upon themselves to find out what is going on, and defend Green Lantern from some serious accusations indeed.
