when you compare the two events together, it is interesting to see how Hal failing to save Coast City and John failing to save Xanshi sparked in them different reactions motivated by two similar, but yet distinct, emotions: Hal's descent into madness is fueled by unadulterated grief, while John's rapidly and steadily consumed by his life-altering guilt.

And it is also interesting to compare them from the point of view of what caused the tragedies: in Hal's case, it was the lack of help and the scope of events being way more than what he and Superman could handle, meanwhile in John's case the tragedy happens because he grows too overconfident and cocky.

In the two cases the heroes lose. Except in one case the hero ends up turning into a tragic villain.

I’m reading Cosmic Odyssey and Forager is just some guy, he’s not a giant bug man like I thought he was suppose to be. He’s a just guy in a bug costume, probably raised by bug people.

December 1988. Overall, the Jim Starlin/Mike Mignola COSMIC ODYSSEY miniseries is pretty awful — it has cool art, but, like most of Starlin's DC work during this period, it's gratuitously brutal and ugly, and both Starlin's offensive treatment of the Kirby Fourth World mythos and the senseless character assassination of John Stewart did lasting damage — but it does have its moments.
