About this Collection

This volume collects the first seven issues of the 2010-2011 Brightest Day series, which follows the aftermath of Blackest Night as resurrected heroes and villains grapple with their second chances. The story focuses on characters like Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, and Hawkman as they are guided by a mysterious force to fulfill new destinies.

In "Homecoming," Boston Brand’s sacrifice takes on new weight as his death helps merge Alec Holland with the Swamp Thing, reigniting a legacy long thought lost. The return of the Swamp Thing brings with it the unmistakable presence of John Constantine, setting the stage for a reckoning in the supernatural realm. Written by Geoff Johns and Peter J. Tomasi, with art by Ivan Reis, Joe Prado, and a stellar team of inkers and colorists, this pivotal issue features a cover by Ivan Reis that captures the moment’s gravity.
