Can’t wait for BLACKEST NIGHT?

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

By Alex Segura

Neither can we. But what to do before the first issue hits? Well, did you know that GREEN LANTERN #43 is a prologue to BLACKEST NIGHT? No? That’s a shame. Well, this issue, featuring story by some guy named Geoff Johns and the new regular GREEN LANTERN art team of Doug Mahnke and Christian Alamy not only gets the ball rolling toward the big summer event, but it also features the birth of the first Black Lantern. Discover who he is and just what his connection to death — and in turn, the Black Lantern Corps — really is. Wait, words aren’t enough? Fine. Here are two pages from the issue. Enjoy!

GREEN LANTERN #43 hits 7/8.

    Can’t wait for BN! I’m really excited to see all my favorite characters again, even if they are dead. I just hope they’ll still be around after BN is over…

    Oh wow, Captain Boomerang! That should be an interesting confrontation with his son. Good stuff!

    Love how the deaths depicted start with the first major crossover, Tula in COIE, end with the last major crossover, J’onn in Final Crisis, and cover every other major crisis in between. The DCU rocks, for sure.

    Psycho Pirate’s death was so gruesome.

  14. kauffinbauchser says on June 17th, 2009 at 2:57 am :

    I got sentimental looking at the panel of Vic Sage with Montoya. This is gonna be so cool.
