About this Collection
This 2010 collection serves as a companion to the Blackest Night event, spotlighting the various Corps that make up the emotional spectrum. It includes origin stories and key moments for the Red Lanterns, Star Sapphires, Sinestro Corps, and others, featuring characters like Hal Jordan, Sinestro, and Star Sapphire. The volume also ties into the larger narrative by exploring how these factions prepare for the war of light against the Black Lanterns.
"New Blood" delivers a haunting, character-driven moment in the Blackest Night saga, spotlighting Superboy-Prime as he confronts the weight of his fate—both as a villain and a man shaped by the very creators who brought him to life. Written by Geoff Johns and Sterling Gates, with Jerry Ordway’s expressive art and Bob Wiacek’s sharp inks, the story unfolds in a chillingly intimate setting: Prime’s basement, where past regrets and a flicker of hope collide. The cover by Dave Gibbons and Rodolfo Migliari captures the tension with a stark, unforgettable image.
