Quite excited about this, let's hear any thought about this.

Flash saves the day

So long as not all of the dead heroes are revived, I'll be 100% on board. I'd be let down if virtually every Black Lantern comes back to life after Blackest Night...

Certainly! That is why Barry had to return to replace Wally.

The name of that arc is quite gay...


... But I guess that the ship sailed when they started to introduce an arc about the colors of the rainbow.

Exactly what I think. At least, DC didn't bring on a "Rainbow Warrior"...

Wait, what?

"Blackest Night" and "Brightest Day" are both lines in the GL oath, so the name makes perfect sense, IMO.

i hope kyle rayner gets a new ongoing... maybe other green lanterns as well

On power rangers Tommy was my favorite and he started out the green ranger and went on to become the first ever white ranger so I'd lmao!

Is this yet ANOTHER event ?... jesus Christ !!!!

I remember when "One year Later" came out, and people were moaning about their "event -sun burns" then ?

Why does everything have to be sold as a massive event, to make it interesting ??!!! .. (Rhetorical question, please don't answer).

Definetly glad he is back, and here is some information on it:
http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=24816

Best news I've read in comics for the last 2 years.

Johns on Aquaman is just mindblowing.
I didn't even want to consider it a possiblity considering the cr@p DC's EIC says about Orin but now it seems it's Aquaman's time to shine.
My favorite character with the hottest writer in comics currently.
Epic.

The King is back.
All hail the King.

Wow. Johns? Really? If he can do for him what he did for Booster, i can't wait to see it.

Why are you putting that in spoilers?

Tony Bedard the new Green Lantern Corps writer post Blackest Night ?
A Guy Gardner ongoing featuring Kilowog written by Tomasi ?

Holy shit.

Ardian Syaf, the writer who'll be working on GLC along with Bedard is probably my favorite new artist (check out Blackest Night: Batman or the Phantom Stranger tie-in to know what I'm talking about).

^ Bedard rarely fails to impress me as a writer. His work on the "Negation" series was superb, and has also done an amazing job with REBELS (still my favorite ongoing series, by far.)

I'd actually look forward to seeing what he can do with GLC as well.

He wont be on for more than 3-4 issues I guarantee! I've noticed D.C. playing this card a lot recently. Put Johns on a new book, and get everyone to pick up loads of the first issues. Dump someone else on the book, and wait for it to be canceled, before u can say Adventure comics.

Originally posted by JakeTheBank

Hell-to-the-****ing-yeah. uhuh

A guy and Kyle ongoing would be a preferable option. Kind of like a Starskey and Hutch, in space.

And Ganthet is going to be a green Lantern. Interesting, I suppose he'll be Master Splinter/Gnadalf of the group. Wise and Authoritive, but willing to get his hands dirty.

Nice to see Guy getting his own book along with Kilowog in it. Now Kyle and John can both have GLC to themselves

I'm hoping Brightest Day will also do something productive with the Marvel Family, myself.

if ganthet becomes a GL and Sayd becomes the Orange Lantern Corps Guardian, does that mean the BLC goes the way of the dodo?

I think Blackest Night will be the only time we see the BLC for the foreseeable future. I think there will be White Lanterns and this will be the same.

Originally posted by -Pr-

I can actually see the BLC being integrated into the GLC as -for lack of a better word- Chaplains. Just as a Chaplain raises morale in an army the Blue Lanterns would provide an ambient power amp to all nearby GLs given the properties of their rings.

To clarify, I meant BLC = Black Lanterns Corps. I think in Blackest Night we will see Black and White Lanterns which are intergral to the story, but will have finished stories by the conclusion. The remaining Corps will be in the DCU for the foreseeable future.

I'm pretty sure PR was referring to the Blues though.

Ah, in which case, my bad

Yeah, sorry. i was talking about the Blues... I'd momentarily forgotten that both Corps could be called the BLC...

Does anyone else thing they're going to have their work cut out making G.L. as epic and relevant again. I mean whats going to be more catastrophic than the dead rising and the War of light ?

Yeah, I'm hoping that Johns and Tomasi can keep the Corps as relevant and as important as it has been.

Tbh, i wouldn't be surprised if Johns left GL after all this was done away with. I know he's still scheduled to write several issues, but if he's planning to build a whole new world for Barry Allen, i can't see him still devoting as much time and effort to Green Lantern as he had before...

Plus he scheduled on every other character D.C. fancies re-vamping.

Is that? Batwoman's batmobile? Does she even have one? I haven't kept up with Batwoman, but the red batsymbol looks like her symbol. Is she gonna be in BOP, or is it early to tell?

I love the idea of a Guy ongoing, however, the duo of him and Wog passed its time imo, and Guy and Kyle would be much more entertaining.

With Ganthet being a member of the GLC, is he now depowered? "Ganthet can crack the planet in half with a thought". That was stated in Rebirth i believe. What the hell does he need a ring for?

Another thing i cant wait to see is what happens with Attrocious(sp?). I had a feeling that hed join the Blue lanterns with Saint walker. They had a nice exchange back in early Backest Night. Or was that just before BN?

Anyone have an idea how long Brightest Day is supposed to be?

I hope to God it's short. *crosses fingers*

it's not really an event, so it shouldn't be that big a deal, afaik. kind of like OYL, and such.

From the back of BN 8 it'll last 3 months, so much shorter then BN.

bought and read Brightest Night # 0.. loved it..

like the new Firestorm matrix of Raymond and Roush(please dc give them a new ongoing)

Every 2 weeks for a year (26 issues total). Milking that cow for all its worth.

Since even from issue '0' that it appears to leave GL character/events on the sidelines I will not be suckered into buying everything like I was in BN.

GL (and its mythos) rocks my inner-geek. But not if it is shunted to the periphany.

IN before the clowns come out to correct me with 'its Periphery not Periphany!!!'

as long as they're somewhat as decent as BD #0, then i'm more than happy with that.

However, tie-ins are likely the route they'll travel to do so.

...But if he does get another ongoing series out of the deal, I'll be completely shocked. Happy, but shocked.

Not bad for BD.

Goddammit, why do I have more to buy now.

I guess I'll add this to my pull list. Stupid flux of good writers everywhere, doing shit.

Does anybody else see a potential Osiris/Freddy Freeman showdown in the near future?

GL 53 was pretty good. Now we know what happened with Parallax, and who the new enemy is.

Seems Green Lantern is taking the main story from Naruto...and I'm sad I know that

I don't like Geoff Johns at all... and the dialogue between obese Luthor and Larfleeze was weak.

In french, the "bijoux" is a short version of "Bijoux de famille", which, in english, is "Family's jewel".

and you think that the guy in the cloak is trying to capture the entities?

From the art, i'm guessing that the big bad is of the Guardians race.

I for one am glad they're keeping the entities and the other colored corps relevant after Blackest Night. It would be a waste to just let them fade away to be used as gimmicks to sell a plot/story arc.

Ditto. Those storylines brought to the DC universe tons of intriguing characters for future stories.

Not really interested in Lex Luthor rehash. OMG! It's Lex Luthor. What's his next diabolico plan to defeat Superman this time.

(only good thing with the next Luthor feature would be if Larfleez flew in and whacked baldy in the head after he explains his plans to readers)

Brightest Day has yet to feed my Shazam fix...

mmm

I'll be patient. For now.

st issue rocked.. can't wait for number 2

Not bad. There's a few questions I have that have forced me to retain interest in this event until they're answered...

-I'm curious why the newly resurrected characters still possess some of the powers they did as black lanterns?

-I'm curious to see why Jason/Ronnie can't split up?

-And I am wondering what role Deadman will play in this whole thing? Perhaps he's the 'King Arthur' Sinestro and Hal were speechifying about?

Brightest Day related:

Titans was really good.

My only critique:

F CK YOU DC!!!!! KILLING RYAN CHOI AND YET YOU STILL KEEP DAMIAN WAYNE AROUND?? A BIG FFFFF UUUUUUU!!!!! Killing a well liked character such as Ryan was but you still wont pull the trigger on Damian Wayne???? FFFFFF UUUUUUU!!!!!


Idiots absolute idiots.

Justice League Generation Lost.....Friggin kick ass! Maxwell Lord is a friggin GENIUS!!! It proves you don't have to kill a character...just make him erase from everyone's mind

Kudos for writing Maxwell Lord so damn good!

Birds of Prey....good launch...awesome art....but Zinda needs to get rid of those pants.

Looking forward to next week....don't stop Geoff...we want more. mmm

I'm glad Aquaman is going to be treated well, also yeah didn't expect that death in Titans.

just read issue 2....and the end was kinda like WTF *jaw droped* then i asked WTF again wondering why...just why....

that was my complete reaction

Not surprised.



Anyway, I'm interested in the direction they'll take Deadman. And if anyone's been reading Lost Generation, and the main Brightest Day book, I'm interested in what direction Johns will take the whole "we're alive, but we can only use our powers like we did as black lanterns". It's a good book. Everything feels slowed down, and I like it after the craziness of the colors war and Blackest Night.

Any ideas on what this means:

It means Didio gets to laugh at us from his smoking chair while we posit theories on the internet.

Seems Anti-Monitor is coming back though.

Also, I LOVE the new JSA Brightest Day spin-off revolving around Alan Scott currently. I guess it's literally the Starheart doing the feats, so I'm not interested from a fanboy perspective. Just seems like an interesting story idea.

Haven't we have enough of this "darkest secret!!!" crap yet?

#7 was pretty great! and i believe it makes perfect since why everyone's powers are so fuged up now!

Possible spoilers...

http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/files/2010/08/w_lntrn_var_w_logos.jpg

are we really supposed to believe that the orange entity was the being that tempted adam and eve?

also, why does it look like nekron gave birth to life? or do they just mean "from nothingness came life"?

also, Jade...

You're right. Armies of rainbow coloured space cops who harness seven colours, each representing seven aspects of the emotional spectrum, who fly around punching each other with gigantic green tennis rackets or puking red energy is far more plausible than the Devil being associated with greed or selfishness.


EDIT: In that image, it looks like the hand of creation is actually the five penises of Nekron........bet his underwear fits him like a glove.

Anyone still reading this? It's one of only a dozen or so comics on my pull list every month, and I have to say I've been pretty happy with Aquaman's portrayal (the main reason i get the book) thus far.

I just wish they didn't have him skip an issue every so often.

im still reading this and i think it's going good but im not overly impressed....but yea im enjoying there portrayal of aquaman myself!

If what happened to Aquaman in the latest issue isn't set right in some way, Ima give up on this book altogether.

Johns is beginning to make me think he's gonna pull a Bendis with the way things are going.

I know, right?

Black Manta should cut the other one aswell, for the sake of symmetry.

Bump for Galan. I keep hearing rumors that DC will be reintroducing Swamp Thing after Brightest Day and he will be warning the heroes of Earth's new Guardian. (Who I think will be a new character.)

So yeah, he is coming back... Though as of now, I'm less than enthused. It seems like DC is bringing back these characters solely because they can make a quick buck off of them -- not because the staff who is writing said character has a genuine interest in them.

Doesn't look like ST will be back for a while. From what the interviews have said at the recent con.

On the other hand, I think Don Hall will be the protector of the earth.

Well, it's been revealed who the earth's protector is. Kinda cool, IMO.

Thankfully that was a hostless version of ST. So now that Alec Holland has been resurrected as the savior of earth, and and taken the reigns of Swamp Thing once again, I'm -hoping- we won't see any more stupidity like that.

I'm totally expecting a horrible Krona style retcon about the elementals and such (or maybe just ignoring what The Word did to the Parliament of Trees.)

I guess this kind of integrating the Vertigoverse and DC verse could work, but I'd rather they left it at a few well written cameos (ie, Death in Action, which was really well done imo) rather than bringing Swamp Thing into the main DCU as an ongoing and such. Mainly because the four main titles that contributed to the Vertigoverse were often really well done (Swamp Thing, Hellblazer, Sandman and Lucifer, still is in the case of Hellblazer) and I'd rather not have stuff mixed up wins Geoff style retcons and such. Even though it'll probably happen.

Couldn't agree more.

Looks like ST will be for a while.

http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=32062

Didio talking about how the Vertigo/DCU combination is going to work- Not being particularly helpful when talking about history, considering he says it'll be the same up untilthe DC/Vertigo split- something that happened midway through storylines and such...

Although this would mean ST and Constantine are quite different characters to their Vertigo selves, as much of the development has come from stuff in their history (specifically Constantine, less crippling guilt over 9/10 of his friends ever being killed in some way I'd guess)

But basically, it seems to me even though ST/Constantine are back in DCU, Vertigoverse/DCverse can still be considered different universes? Just with a similar history up until the split, wherein the Vertigoverse all the stuff from Hellblazer and Swamp Thing (+ Sandman and Lucifer) happened but in the DCU it didn't?

Swamp Thing and Constantine return in the same issue. Heh.

Anyway, I was actually pretty happy with ST's portrayal... Just like the old days.

I haven't got hold of the issue yet, but I'm interested to see how John is portrayed in the main universe...

Oh fair enough then

From the way Didio was talking about him I imagine he'll be involved in whatever Swamp Thing project spins out of this.

Yea they treated ST fairly well, which was nice. Anyone else not be able to get Action Comic's 900?? That sold out as well as Green Arrow #11 and Green Lantern : Emerald Warriors #9, and I got there 30 minutes after they opened... Oh well Ebay here I come!!

Milestone issues tend to do quite well in the sales department, so I'm not overly surprised about AC selling out... But Emerald Warriors AND Green Arrow!? That IS surprising.

Took a chance with AC 900, but I never thought to ask them to save me GL EW and Green Arrow because they always have some left over, even if its just a few. Going to be pretty interesting what the monthly rankings will be for April.

Wow, that was great! ST kicked ASS!

Looks like Vankin will be writing the John Constantine stuff. This sounds awesome, because we know he'll do him justice...



John manipulating Bats is going to be gold.

Green Arrow's an awesome book imo.
