Willworld was conceived after I pitched a story idea with art samples to Joey Cavaleri at DC. We brainstormed and decided to use the art style as a starting point for a Hal Jordan story. I wanted a writer that would shrug off some of the spandex cliches that I was worried could limit my art, but still tackle the fantastic. I wanted it to be both surreal and yet grounded at the same time.[1]
Fisher has also said that "we wanted a book where I could squeeze my imagination for everything it was worth and 'Green Lantern' just seemed to have the most potential that way".[2]
Writer J. M. DeMatteis described the story as "Green Lantern meets Little Nemo in Quantum Wonderland. A playful, surreal, quantum physics fairytale".[3]
This story tells how a young Hal Jordan mastered his power ring. The story is set on a world formed entirely by the imagination of other Green Lanterns.
Critical reception
Locus Magazine gave the book a positive review and noted that it was "stunning stuff, highly recommended".[6]
