☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection gathers tie-in issues from DC's 2009-2010 Blackest Night crossover event, focusing on the emergence of the Black Lantern Corps and the resurrection of deceased heroes and villains as undead soldiers. It includes stories from titles like Green Lantern Corps, The Flash, and others, showing how various characters across the DC Universe respond to the rising threat of the black rings. The volume sets the stage for the main Blackest Night storyline by expanding the scope of the conflict beyond the Green Lanterns.
In "Bye Bye Birdie!", Superboy is locked in a brutal mental battle as a Black Lantern ring forces him to fight Wonder Girl, testing his will against the dead. With only a whisper of hope and the help of Krypto, Conner manages to send Cassie a clue leading to the Fortress, where a desperate plan unfolds to break the ring’s hold. Written by Tony Bedard and illustrated by Travis Moore, with inks by Dan Green, Keith Champagne, and Bob Wiacek, and colors by Brian Buccellato, this pivotal issue features a cover by Rodolfo Migliari and Jerry Ordway.
In "Bye Bye Birdie!" from Blackest Night: Rise of the Black Lanterns, Ray stands guard as Indigo-1 reaches out to the Indigo Tribe, urging them to gather every member of the various Corps and bring them to Earth. With the Black Lantern threat spreading, the desperate call sets a course for a collision of power and purpose across the DC Universe.
In "Deadman Walking," Phantom Stranger and Blue Devil assist Deadman as he struggles to free his decaying corpse from the grip of a Black Lantern ring. As the line between life and death blurs, Deadman uncovers a chilling truth: the so-called "white light" offers no salvation against Nekron’s growing darkness.
In "What Did Black Lantern Superboy Do?", Superboy is trapped inside his own mind as a Black Lantern ring compels him to battle Wonder Girl. With only fleeting control, Conner manages to summon Krypto and send Cassie a cryptic message to reach the Fortress, where a desperate twist in the healing chamber may break the ring’s hold.
