Green Lantern #48

Part of DC's sweeping "Blackest Night" crossover, this January 2010 installment brings together a striking assembly of Lantern Corps members in a blazing orange inferno of energy. Doug Mahnke and Christian Alamy's cover pulls three prominent figures into sharp focus — a sleek, insectoid Blue Lantern in the lead, flanked by a rodent-like alien and a weathered, blue-skinned figure bearing the Indigo Tribe symbol — while the looming, monstrous forms of an orange construct realm press in behind them. Geoff Johns is at the helm for this chapter, making it a compelling piece of the sprawling cosmic conflict tearing through the DC Universe in 2010.
