Brightest Day #1
This volume collects the first seven issues of the 2010-2011 Brightest Day series, a direct sequel to the Blackest Night event. It follows the resurrected heroes and villains—including Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, Firestorm, and the Hawks—as they grapple with new powers and a mysterious mission from the life entity that brought them back. The story weaves multiple character-driven threads against the backdrop of a transformed DC Universe still reeling from the aftermath of the Black Lantern war.
"Carpe Diem" kicks off Brightest Day #1 with Ray Palmer grappling to untangle Martin Stein from the volatile Firestorm matrix, while J'onn J'onzz uncovers a hidden truth: Professor Erdel had a daughter, and long ago brought another Martian to Earth—before bringing J'onn himself. Written by Geoff Johns and Peter J. Tomasi, with art by Ivan Reis, Patrick Gleason, Ardian Syaf, Scott Clark, and Joe Prado, and colored by Peter Steigerwald, Beth Sotelo, Aspen MLT, and John Starr, this issue blends emotional stakes with cosmic mystery. The cover by David Finch and Scott Williams captures the tension perfectly.
