Blackest Night

A landmark 2010 DC event by writer Geoff Johns and artist Ivan Reis, Blackest Night is a sprawling, 1-issue epic that redefined the DC Universe's mythology of death and resurrection. The story pits a spectrum of Lantern Corps—each fueled by a different emotion—against the rise of the Black Lanterns, undead beings who resurrect fallen heroes and villains to serve a dark purpose. Its core concept, exploring the emotional spectrum through color-coded power rings, became a defining legacy for Green Lantern lore and DC cosmic storytelling.
