Brightest Day #3
This volume kicks off the 2010 event series that follows the aftermath of Blackest Night, as a mysterious white entity resurrects several key DC heroes and villains. Collecting the first seven issues, it focuses on the new lives of characters like Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, Firestorm, and Hawkman and Hawkgirl, while also exploring the return of Alec Holland as Swamp Thing. The story weaves multiple threads as these revived figures grapple with their second chances and a cryptic mission tied to the planet's balance.
In "Homecoming," Boston Brand’s sacrifice takes a haunting turn 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 unexpected return of John Constantine, setting the stage for a story where the boundaries between life, death, and the supernatural blur. Written by Geoff Johns and Peter J. Tomasi, with art by Ivan Reis, Joe Prado, Patrick Gleason, Ardian Syaf, Scott Clark, and inks by Norm Rapmund, Vicente Cifuentes, Oclair Albert, Tom Nguyen, Mick Gray, Mark Irwin, and David Beaty, and colored by Peter Steigerwald and Aspen MLT, this issue delivers a powerful, emotionally charged chapter in the Brightest Day saga. The cover by Ivan Reis captures the weight of the moment with striking intensity.
