Blackest Night

A “War of Light” is prophesied to destroy the universe. The unknown darkness is the Black Power Battery and the Dead shall Rise and cleanse the universe of Life itself and as Scar, one of the Guardians of the Universe, says to bring order to the universe. Black Power rings are delivered to the dead and they rise to accomplish this feat. It features the return of Superman of Earth II, Martian Manhunter (who died in Final Crisis), Aquaman and others who died previously. They become Black Lanterns and are here to do the work of death to the living. This means the end of all life and the coming of death of the universe but in the way is the living who are not wanting to give in the their request to join them in death. An interesting story and the makings of a masterpiece. Geoff Johns has been planning this event since the Green Lantern: Rebirth story and it will dominate the direction of the DC Universe for now and months to come. A must read for DC fans it effects all the superheroes and villains. Death plays no favorites and somehow the “War of Light” must turn from its end to stop the armies of Death. How will it end? You must read to find out, or wait to read the trade paperback which is way down the road. See you at the comic shop.  Stay tuned comic faithful for More Walt.
