>In Brightest Day, In Blackest Night...
It's what we've all waited for.
The War of Light leads to Night.
A challenge none is prepared for.
Enough though, let's get on with it.
This is-
Green Lantern: Blackest Night
MY BODY IS READY
R
E
A
D
Y
aww yeah I made it
Alright, I fibbed a little... we have some Tales to go through first.
Tales of the Corps: Mongul.
Also, bring your own tunes. NO OINGO BOING...YET
I kinda wish this was saved for Halloween, but as the first time reading, I'm hyped.
>>66669436
Don't have time for Halloween. Have nephews to take out trick or treating.
SO LET'S PRETEND!
Tales of the Corps: Larfleeze
>>66669459
On Halloween I'm gonna give out candy and scare the crap out of kids.
Unless I have to go to work, then I will not.
>>66669566
Sounds good.
Tales of the Corps: Arisia
Tales of the Corps: Bleez
>>66669669
d'aww
>>66669758
RANX'D
>>66669781
Haha
Alright, one last one...
Tales of the Corps: Carol Ferris
No... but the ring still has a point.
And NOW the stage is set...
Tales of the Corps: The Black Lantern!
Here we go...
>>66669365
Mother of shit, Dave. You were serious. You really are doing Blackest Night.
Welp, color me hyped for Star Sapphire Diana and Red Lantern Mera.
Also known as Black Hand.
>>66669955
I don't get the surprise. I've been doing Johns' GL from the start for the last month and a half.
What a cutie
>>66669580
>Godhead
You can't stop the Hypercrisis.
Ain't that the sweetest thing?
>>66669365
Aw shit I'm late!
Glad to have you do this, Dave.
>>66670043
You're actually right on time for the main event.
Are these wildbluezero scans? Even in death, he haunts us.
>>66669365
The Blackest Night falls from the skies,
The darkness grows as all light dies,
We crave your hearts and your demise,
By my black hand, the dead shall rise!
Bring. It. On!
That could also be the madness talking, Hand
>>66669580
I would Larfleeze
We get it... lotsa death
Oh Will.
Now we can eat!
That's just... kinda gross
Part... 1? I guess?:
wherein it's a singular command
>>66670281
oooooh!
>>66670281
PANICI don't think this is the last time I'll be posting that today...
THE BEGINNING OF TIME...
what a place to start
>>66670268
And everything up to this point wasn't?
It's campy and at the same time disturbing grotesque, that which Johns can really do when he's at it.
>>66670142
Madness ain't that specific.
Blackest Night is much more of a Brave and the Bold story than I originally remember.
Which ain't a bad thing.
>>66670077
>First kiss
Eugh
>>66670375
but Swamp Thing made you a garden, Hal!
Oh Bats... you so crazy.
>>66670077
>Of my first kiss.
EEEEEEEEEWWW.
>JSA Blackest Night
Yes?
IT BEGINS
>>66670420
Nobody respects Swampy's gifts.
I've never read green lantern before, and so far I'm likin' this. Thanks for sharing, comrade.
>>66670439
Sorry, just the main Blackest Night stuff. This is going to be looong anway.
Part 2:
wherein you hit the ground running
>>66670441
when did Ronnie die?
>>66670459
Understood, at least we see the JSA in this a bit.
>>66670459
Are Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corp included under that?
That... that can't be good.
>>66670520
Yes...again, I've been doing this for almost two months.
>>66670516
Thanks for understanding.
>>66670522
PANIC
also, ewwww
>>66670522IT'S A FAAAKE
not that we knew that at the time
Lookit em all.
>>66670539
>Yes...again, I've been doing this for almost two months.
I've seen this storytimed with the full Blackest Night series storytimed, then GL, and then GLC so just wanted to make sure.
>>66670174
When did Diana die? I don't recognize that guy at all.
I mean, she died back in War of the Gods, but this clearly isn't that.
What a nice memorial.
>>66670566
No problem. Just that I've been doing all of Johns' GL in order for a while. Why would I leave them out now?
>>66670570
the guy is Neron, but I have no idea when Diana actually died
>>66670570
During Byrne's terribad run.
>>66670572
This is the last time we ever saw the Earth GLs just hanging out btw.
>>66670572
>4 statues
Suck it Coast Guard?
The City Without Fear.
But nowhere is free of death.
>>66670600
Yeah, so sad.
Oh man Blackest Night
Don't tell Geoff Johns or Ivan Reis, but bodies take eight to twelve years to decompose - and that's without a coffin.
>>66670600
>This is the last time we ever saw the Earth GLs just hanging out btw.
that's depressing
Graveyard of the Rogues is such a neato idea.
>>66670598
I can never not laugh at Kyle and fridges.
>>66670636
>that's depressing
It seemed like they were setting up the Earth GLs as spiritual bros during Sinestro Corps War especially and then just dropped the idea.
D-damage
>>66670598
If only the note sequence in Alex's death wasn't so fucking hilarious.
It's still the first thing I can think of when I look back at her death and it strips it away of all tragedy
Come on, Garth.
Shame on you Alfred.
>>66670663
>JLI
T_T
>>66670675
The Titans Blackest Night lead-in issue for Garth was both the only good issue in the Titans series and ever written by JT Krul.
>>66670641
I kinda hope it gets into the show.
Also, Green Lantern as a Flash Spinoff, back boarding the same way Barry did in Arrow.
Barry, you of all people should guess why.
>>66670661
yeah they did
feels like Johns/Tomasi didn't have enough time/space to keep it up and now that Johns & co are done the new writers aren't interested in it
>>66670693
Miss quoted for >>66670641
but still..all dem JSA'ers...I miss them..
That man, Barry.
>>66670663
Damage-kun ;_;

That's cheating.
>>66670706
>Also, Green Lantern as a Flash Spinoff, back boarding the same way Barry did in Arrow.
CW probably doesn't have the money to do an actual GL show even if they kept it on Earth, but I desperately want Hal to show up in Flash/Arrow
HAWKAAAA
>>66670745
Bring your own tunes.
It;s that kinda story.
I see your point Hawkman.
Then again....
Goshdamn...
>>66670734
>>66670746
goddamn ;_;
>>66670599
>>66670600
Oh right, the whole Goddess of Truth thing. Forgot about that.
Or so you would think Hal.
And tough luck Barry, Carol is still alive and kickin'
>>66670764
If we get Based Jay on The Flash, i will consider my life complete
>>66670774
delicious Hawkman
>>66670600
>This is the last time we ever saw the Earth GLs just hanging out btw.
>FIVE YEARS AGO
Damn.
Yeah, ya screwed up
>>66670818
>Carol's fine. She's safe.
Carol was not safe.
Scar, why!
>>66670820
episode where Barry ends up on Earth 2 and meets older Jay pls
>>66670836
atleast they're consistent!
Scar was into some kinky stuff
>>66670641
Fuck, middle-aged Rogues and their legacy was just so perfect
Angsty young team although good under Manabucc just doesn't do it for me.
>>66670892
AAAAHHHHHHHHH
>>66670764
If Star Trek TNG could do it, CW can do it.
Besides, looking at what they've done on Flash, I wouldn't underestimate them.
If anything, they can keep season 1 on earth.
>>66670515
Identity crisis
no saint walker origin? thats feel city
ALL DRESSED UP WITH NOWHERE TO GO!
>>66670641
Y'know, that Captain Boomerang was one of the few things I liked outta Identity Crisis. It's a damn shame what happened to him.
>>66670919
Hmmm... yeah, good point
>>66670924
Dave posted it a week or two ago
RISE!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtM2WSFv4UI
>>66670924
I did that last week. Saved half for today.
>>66670962
reis splash pages so good
How very jilted sounding, Hawky
>>66670932
>>66670962
oh god oh god oh god
Awww NUTS!
>>66670962
PANIC
>>66670984
oh hawkman you so moody
This can only get worse.
I love insulting zombies.
They can get so catty.
Intensity levels set to max.
>>66670746
>>66670774
>>66670790
>>66670802
>>66670818
>5 pages of "Identity Crisis was bad and you should feel bad"
This was honestly a point back then, I cannot remember how many times it was addressed just to rightfully shit on it.
Not even in death.
Part 3:
wherein it's a sort of jail break, in a way
>>66670962
>RISE!
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtM2WSFv4UI
Aw yeah, time to party, baby!
That was a very stupid thing to do Kyle
Blind-sided.
>>66671137
Kyle is pretty shit at romantic relationships
>>66670932
>who knew Bruce was Batman?
At this point, Barry? A very long list of people.
>>66671131
>Dat Sad Alan
=[
Daxamites, right?
>>66671169
Soranik's boobs look like they're making a break for it
And what would we be without more Kryb?
>>66671213
and its great
>>66671137
What was he supposed to do anyway?
>>66671210
Fuck 'em
>>66671188
>>66671201
>stop, invincible senator
>>66670142
>Ted Kord
;_;
You're doing God's work, Dave. You give me something great to read on my long weekend workdays.
TOMAR RE NOOO
>>66670448
Same here. I always thought the premise way a bit silly (well sillier than usual), but this is a good comic.
Before I started posting on /co/, I was a Marvel guy through and through. I mean, I liked Batman, but that was it. Now I'm digging DC more and more.
Yeah, this can't help matters one bit.
>>66671359
No problem. Glad you're not bored.
>>66671377
You too.
I honestly don't know how to feel about Blackest Night.
I mean, the great dreaded prophecy the Guardians themselves have feared since the dawn of creation... was a zombie apocalypse.
Kinda cliche, don'tcha think?
>>66671401
>bzzd
;_;
Part 4:
wherein how does one say "zombie invasion" before it sounds silly?
>>66671315
>>66671340
>>66671364
up to this point we've been focusing more on how cheesy and horror-movie like this is, but here you really are reminded of how fucked up the idea of resurrecting the dead as a zombie army is
>>66671435
TBH, while I liked Johns run, there were some things I disliked. Given that he used Moore's short story as a jumping off point of sorts for some of his own concepts, Ranx the Sentient City and The Children of the White Lobe seemed very minuscule compared to what they were alluded to be.
>>66671458
I never read this run before.
I assumed it was a shitty run because of what I read on /co/.
Fuck all the people that convinced me not to read this until this point. The writing is fantastic.
>>66671477
RIP Choco ;_;
>>66671517
The next two crossovers after Blackest Night get very... long winded. But it ends on such a great note.
>>66671477
TOO FUCKING FAR
>>66671517
Once of the things which does annoy me admittedly about this run is that once the emotional spectrum aspect of the run comes into full swing...it never really leaves. After a while the idea of them being space cops kind of disappears.
>>66671559
>this banter
It's great.
>>66671543
I wouldn't peg Barry or Hal as bad cops tbh.
Yeah, but the Flash can crash land well.
>>66670962
>Bzzd
Black Hand, you motherfucker.
>>66671609
neither of them are, Hal just likes to think he can be a bad boy
>>66671648
>that blonde white guy's expression
"uh, dur, guys,"
Another army.
To replace the first two.
>>66671707
>Another army.
>To replace the first two.
And they still didn't learn their lesson after this...
>>66671606
Hal and Barry best bros
>>66670189
Remember when Black Hand was just a fourth-wall breaking villain that referenced Bill Finger?
>>66671730
Nah, they just went buttfuck crazy
THIS is the danger of trying to fight someone like MM.
>>66671758
The final descent of the Guardians begins here.
You can say that again, John.
>>66671815
PANIC
>>66671815
>planet killing time
>>66671815
are they really implying the remains of the planets inhabitants are in random asteroid debris?
Part 5:
wherein there's no stopping it
>>66671815
What gave it away, John?
Oh... OH NO...
>>66671840
no anonthe planet itself
RAY!
Also, I'm just gonna be postin' the mix that Johnny Walker, Blue Lantern recommended.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=427qORCMXk0
Alright, that's a little funny, right?
Looking good, Aquaman
>>66671707
Hm... A Third Army, even.
Poor Deadman.
But good for you Don. Good for you.
