Green Lantern: Blackest Night ***SPOILERS***

[Midnite]

Blackest Night cover #2

[John Jr.]

I am a bit afraid "Black Lanterns" will be "DC's Zombies". The idea of the "dear departed" coming back to haunt the heroes has good potential, but Johns is very irregular, so i don't know what expect...
This cover is awful, thou...

Yeah, someone should be slapped over that cover if it actually makes it to newsstands (an outdated term, I know, but it gets the point across).  Seriously.   

[The Hitman]

The drool was unnecessary.

...

And awsome.

[murs47]

So Beast Boy is a necrophiliac now?

*is unsure of whether or not to be horrified*

It'll be funny if they don't stay dead.

Blackest Night: Superman cover

[Ares_God_of_War]

[Burnout]

Spoilers's







Well Superboy isnt a Black lantern yet the reserected him in Legion 3 Worlds so hopefully he will stay alive

ALIVE!?!?
The events of Legion Of 3 Worlds saw the triumphant and seemingly permanent return of Bart Allen as Kid Flash in its third installment. And in the fourth, another mind blowing resurrection was acheived.

For months, Starman has been a mainstay in the JSA, his constant excuse being that he was on a mission from Braniac 5. However, it was never really clear what Starman's mission was. That is, it wasn't until he snuck into a cemetery in the middle of the night and began digging up a grave with the Kent name on it.

Fast forward to the future, where the three Braniac 5's are waiting in Superman's Fortress of Solitude for Dawnstar, Polarboy, and  Wildfire to return from the past with a strand of Lex Luthor's hair. They put the hair into a Kryptonian Chrysalis hidden bebeath the fortress. The Chrysalis was what brought Superman back from death when he died, and after the hair was added and the Chrysalis' program was completed, Superboy was revived!


Aparently, Starman put Conner's body into the Chrysalis all those thousand of years ago (A.K.A. NOW), and it slowly revitalized him. The only thing they still needed was the other half of Conner's DNA: Lex Luthor's.

Conner went directly after Prime, eager to dish out his revenge. And while Conner is alive and fighting, it is still unclear if he will stay that way, or if he will ever make it back to the presesnt. But there's still one more issue of LO3W to find out

[marhawkman]

O_O! SWEET! I neeed to find that.

how am i missing all these books, bloody bandwagoners

[Midnite]

SDCC 09: Blackest Night Invades Comic-Con DC Direct reveals exclusive figure set for blockbuster summer storyline.

I want the wearable rings!  

[The Hitman]

I WANT.

... Does that make me an Orange Lantern?

[marhawkman]

nope. I'd want the blue one most.

A scan from Green Lantern #43. Contains spoilers on those that we'll be resurrected/zombied out.

[The Hitman]

Oooooohhh, Sweet Christmas!

I'd be interested in how Deaman will be portrayed, as well as The Question.

[GhostMachine]

Oooooohhh, Sweet Christmas!

I'd be interested in how Deaman will be portrayed, as well as The Question.

Deadman is just dumb, considering he's a ghost. I'd like to see it go wrong and he ends up being a wildcard by his spirit possessing his zombified body and turning against the Black Lanterns.

Not too thrilled that Bruce Wayne is one of those mentioned.

[BentonGrey]

You know it's funny....sad?  horribly depressing? how many of those depicted deaths are just plain terrible and worthless.

Dang that's a long list.... I do like how it has a mix of character types. and reasons for death.

[yell0w_lantern]

So far I think the Black Lanterns look inane.

[thanoson]

really? Cause I'm totally loving those outfits.

[marhawkman]

Hehe... Those ARE some sweet redesigns.

[Midnite]

Spoiler

[BentonGrey]

I don't find the costumes so terrible, and Blackest Night itself might not be too bad.  For me, the problem is all of the stories BEHIND it.

Imagined story conference at Somethingorother Comics:

"Sales are down after raising our prices again, so we need to boost sales. Who's left we can kill off?"

[AfghanAnt]

Superboy looks older than Superman.
I am very excited about the new Bat Family but Tim as Red Robin seem forced. It is like they decided Dick should be Batman because being Nightwing is a dead end and than they do the same exact thing to Tim.
Benes' work is so blah.
The rest look ok.

[marhawkman]

I like Benes. his is some of my favorite character art.
