The prophecy of the Blackest Night has come to pass--a mysterious
force is raising deceased heroes and villains into an army of undead
Black Lanterns! The combined might of the Green Lantern Corps and an
armada of living superbeings must now band together in a fight quite
literally for their lives. The incredible saga from #1 New York Times
bestselling writer Geoff Johns is collected here in its entirety for the
first time ever in paperback in this new DC Essential Edition!
A war has been brewing between the different colored Lantern Corps--the
Green fighting the Yellow, the Red trying to destroy all, the Blue
attempting to broker peace between the tribes. However, the real battle
is yet to come: the undead Black Lanterns are coming and seemingly
nothing can stop them. Putting aside old vendettas, it's up to Hal
Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps to lead DC's greatest champions as
well as their deadliest foes in a battle to save the Universe from an
army of the dead.
The DC Essential Edition series of graphic novels highlights the best
standalone stories the medium has to offer featuring comics' greatest
characters. These trade paperback editions focus on the easiest entry
points DC has in its vast library, with seminal, groundbreaking tales
that transcend the printed page. Start with the Essentials.
This collects GREEN LANTERN #43, BLACKEST NIGHT #0-8, and two stories
from UNTOLD TALES OF THE BLACKEST NIGHT #1.
