There's a Green Lantern Lost Army ongoing. The only good John Stewart book from the past is mosaic. Though the cartoon Stewart and the comic one seem like different people.

He's a very prominent guest character appearing in volume 3 and then you should read Corps volume two, which launches after rebirth.

Then read more corps after new 52starts

I like John but he falls into the same problem a lot of black comic characters do, in that the authors seem to only ever write him as a clean cut former military guy with not much in the way of characterization. I guess the writers are afraid they'll insult someone if they try something new with him that isn't blowing up a planet, so they just write him as a stand up guy with a guilty conscience and don't try anything interesting with him. Mosaic was pretty good though, I liked the metaphor of him building a yellow brick road.

Cosmic Odyssey isn't really John focused, but it has one of his most important character-defining moments, and him getting BTFOed by J'onn is glorious. It might be a little hard to get into if you're just starting with comics though.

The problem with John Stewart is every time he's written, people can't make him feel anything but sorry for himself. Remember that episode of the Justice League cartoon where John goes to space trial because he blew up a planet? Well, the comics he actually did blow up a planet. Twice actually. And all he ever does it feel bad about how he made such a huge mistake. I'm not saying that's not a big deal, but where other Lanterns have moved past their tragedy, Stewart just keeps bring it up. It sucks because he could be interesting, but I have yet to see it.

Also, he was in some Green Lantern Corps books that weren't bad.

He's been made into a one-dimensional stoic type when he was much more interesting in the 70s when he was kind of an angry young man, and had a sense of humor to boot.

He was the star of new 52 GLC from #20-40, and he's been the focus character in Green Lantern Lost Army

Also read Mosaic

They gave the military background to John in the cartoon because they couldn't use Hal, who DID have a military background in the comics prior to JLU

But Hal was never as stoic as John was in the cartoon and neither was John until post Rebirth, John used to be a lot livelier
