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

[Tawodi Osdi]

Spoiler

It could be possible the Mera feels guilty for not having been there when her son died.  It occurs in real life situations, but I don't see why someone who is depicted as being as wise as Wonder Woman would be necessarily surprised, unless she was merely being overcome by sympathy, but I am with Benton and Daglob on reading modern comics.  They have gotten too dark for my tastes.

[BentonGrey]

Spoiler

I think it is that Mera is really his sister.

*Smack*

Spoiler

Sister from an alternate dimension...well, these hacks have written more ridiculous things.

Spoiler

Mera of Earth 2, maybe?.

[Ares_God_of_War]

Spoiler

I like the way you are thinking. Maybe Mera isn't his sister but actually the alternate femalve version of him!

[Tawodi Osdi]

Spoiler

Black Manta: Arthur, I am your father.  Aquaman:  Noooooo!

[Kenn]

Spoiler

Well, Mera did have a twin sister back on her home world.

[yell0w_lantern]

Spoiler

Nah, his mother. That will spawn Aquaman's new battle cry, "Oedipus Rex!"

[marhawkman]

It seems likely to me that she feels guilty about it anyways even if she didn't cause it.

[Podmark]

That page was epic

Really happy with the end of Blackest Night. Interested to see where things go next.

[BentonGrey]

So, how did they all come back to life?

[murs47]

I actually liked the ending as well...but this event lost its flavor about half way through, sadly.

So, how did they all come back to life?

I don't even know how to explain it to you Benton. White rings I guess...I found it to be on par with Superboy Prime punching walls.

[yell0w_lantern]

What a twist! Totally unexpected!

[daglob]

Well, I hope one of those characters is valliantly holding on in a fight to remain dead.

Spoiler

Who would want to read a series about a guy called Liveman.

[GhostMachine]

I have a suggestion for what they could do with one of the characters:

Spoiler

If there is going to be an actual White Lantern Corps, make Boston Brand a member. DC has replaced the Spectre's host twice, so I don't see why they couldn't make a new Deadman with the same (or similar) powers but with a different origin and costume (since Boston's costume was his circus outfit).

Or....reveal that Boston still has his powers despite being alive; he just becomes intangible then possesses someone.

And where the heck is Blue Beetle? I understand Ralph and Sue Dibny still being dead, but what about good old Ted?

[The Hitman]

Spoiler

That... seems like a fairly random hodgepodge of characters to come back from the dead. I mean, Ronnie Raymond was great and a classic and all, but what'll happen to Jason Rousch? And what's the deal with Osirus? He was a throwaway character from 52 at best. And is the the original Captain Boomerang in there?

Oh, and I like J'onn's newish costume.

[Midnite]

You know the resurrections span the emotional spectrum:

Rage: Hawk
Avarice: Captain Boomerang
Fear: Professor Zoom
Will: Jade (literally), Aquaman, Max Lord
Hope: Osiris
Compassion: Martian Manhunter
Love: Hawkman & Hawkgirl

Odd man out would be Firestorm, don't know were he fits in the emotional spectrum.
Also does anyone notice Aliveman is the only one wearing a white ring?

[yell0w_lantern]

PANTS? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[BentonGrey]

I've got to say, while I'm not against the green guy wearing pants, those do look somewhat out of place considering he once again is without a shirt.

[Kenn]

I like it actually.   I mean, I never minded the trunks.  But switching from trunks to trousers is okay.  Kind of like the Hawks taking of their trunks.

[marhawkman]

He does have a cape that covers his torso though.

[Tawodi Osdi]

Well, I hope one of those characters is valliantly holding on in a fight to remain dead.

Spoiler

Who would want to read a series about a guy called Liveman.

Would Liveman have the power to possess the dead, and if so, what benefit would it have?

[BentonGrey]

He does have a cape that covers his torso though.

Which makes him look like a luchador.  

[Kenn]

He does have a cape that covers his torso though.

Which helped David Ogden Stiers once upon a time... barely.

[daglob]

Spoiler

I'm just glad J'onn doesn't look so much like a Skrull anymore. And yes, I've been trying to figure out what a Skrullian Manhunter would look like.

...and I wonder if that's Clevland instead of Boston...

[Kenn]

Spoiler

I'm just glad J'onn doesn't look so much like a Skrull anymore. And yes, I've been trying to figure out what a Skrullian Manhunter would look like.

Spoiler

Skymax, the Skrullian Skymaster from Squadron Supreme.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

My guess about Deadman, or at least how I'd do it, is to give him an astral projection ability that allows him to return to his spirit form, gaining his old powers and appearance while doing so.

[The Hitman]

My guess about Deadman, or at least how I'd do it, is to give him an astral projection ability that allows him to return to his spirit form, gaining his old powers and appearance while doing so.

So... Deadman becomes Jericho?

[marhawkman]

HAHAH!!!  That was great.

[Tawodi Osdi]

Maybe, they could combine elements of Captain Marvel's "Shazam" and Green Lantern's oath and have Boston Brand transform into the Deadman when he quotes John Donnes's Holy Sonnet X.
